Before the day
- Sleep well and eat a light meal; skip alcohol the night before
- Wear flat, thin-soled shoes for pedal feel
- Bring your physical license; complete the waiver online
- Consider an optional ride-along first to learn the line
On track
- Listen to your instructor; they'll call braking points and turns
- Look far ahead through each corner, where you want the car to go
- Be smooth: brake in a straight line, then turn, then accelerate out
- Don't chase lap times; enjoy the car
Weather
Longhorn says experiences run rain or shine unless it reschedules for weather. Check each operator's weather and rescheduling policy before you pay.
Costs to expect
Base price, the driver protection plan (required at Xtreme, from $39), video and photo packages, and extra guests at Longhorn ($49 each beyond two). Read the cart before paying; see the cost-per-lap table.
