There are several schools for the driving experience. But I've heard good things about the Richard Petty Driving Experience: http://www.drivepetty.com/

They have 24 different tracks available for the experience. Personally, I want to do Charlotte.

The other thing that could be done is to take Dad to a Cup race as you said he likes NASCAR. Pocono is this weekend and August 4th is the second race. Watkins Glen wouldn't be too far, New Hampshire, Dover, Kentucky, Richmond, Bristol, Martinsville...

Being at the race is so much better than watching on TV. Watching the tube - you only get to see the race they show you. If you have a favorite driver - you can follow him as much as you want.

I like this idea. The biggest problem might be my dad being able to get in and out of the car through the window lol. I am going to looking the one at Dover a little more. But for the time being, if anyone else has any suggestions please feel free to post them!

Do you think he's too heavy, or do you think he's so old that he's not flexible enough...

I'm 59 year old sexy senior citizen and can climb in and out of a race car no problem. I know people much older than I am that do it also.

I've also seen 300+ pound men get in and out of race cars.

Ive got a couple of pics blown up of my 66. They are printed on a canvas and wrapped on a frame. I sold the car, but I wouldn't trade those pics for anything and they hang proudly in my office and in the front foyer of the house. That car was big part of my life for a long time.

The pic idea is the best.
