| Q. |
What is the difference between SpeedTech Auto
Racing School and any other NASCAR driving experience? |
| A. |
SpeedTech is the "top shelf" auto
racing school. At SpeedTech, there are no pace cars to follow, and passing is
allowed based on good judgement, communication, and common sense. SpeedTech provides
the cleanest NASCAR Nextel Cup stock cars and Busch Series cars available to the public
and you can even drive a Craftsman Truck Series super truck. And with Randy Baker
and over 25 years of teaching experience training the future stars of NASCAR, you will
know the difference. Know the Difference!
|
| Q. |
How far in advance do I need to register for
a group or corporate team building event? |
| A. |
This varies based on the track, the time of year
and the requested program. You can book as early as a year in advance, but SpeedTech may
even have openings to fulfill your date for a group less than a month before the date
requested. Individuals should try to register at least two (2) months before the
event, but on occassion we can accept last minute students.
|
| Q. |
How many people can participate in a group
event? |
| A. |
This is based on what type of program is
selected. During the course of an eight hour day and depending on the track
selected, we can usually accommodate about 1000 solo laps delegated between students.
|
| Q. |
Who can participate? |
| A. |
The racing school is open to anyone 16 years of
age and older who possesses a valid driver’s license. Students should be in good
physical condition. Individuals with certain disabilities may also participate after
contacting the racing school to determine any special needs.
|
| Q. |
Do you provide daytime and night time racing
programs? |
| A. |
Yes. We offer day classes and driving at all
tracks listed. The night programs currently are available at the tracks in Atlanta, Lowes
Charlotte, and Bristol.
|
| Q. |
Can our company use SpeedTech’s logo for
consumer promotions? |

Yes. Please contact Susan
Simmons, our Corporate Relations Manager, toll free at 1-877-807-7333.

| Q. |
Can we use SpeedTech gift certificates in
consumer promotions or giveaways? |
| A. |
Yes. Please contact Susan
Simmons, our Corporate Relations Manager, toll free at 1-877-807-7333.

|
| Q. |
Does a track event get canceled in the event
of bad weather? |
| A. |
Yes and No. An event may be canceled/postponed
due to weather conditions, however, SpeedTech will be at the track regardless of the
weather conditions. For example, events have continued for the entire day despite a 70
percent chance of rain that never occurred. Weather is sporadic in the southeast region of
the United States. We keep every client’s needs foremost in our minds on such
unpredictable days. Because we have clients that join us from many parts of the country
and world, we make every effort to make an event happen. It is not unheard of to
allow students to drive their own cars on the speedways in an effort to dry off the
tracks.
|
| Q. |
How can I use your SpeedTech programs as a
promotional event for my company? |
| A. |
There are a variety of ways that you can use our
programs as promotional events for your company, including in sweepstakes, raffles, sales
incentives, team building, fundraising and other types of events. Further promotional
ideas include co-op dollar programs, company-purchased vouchers used to entertain clients,
use of the SpeedTech logo incorporated into the promotion, use of one of SpeedTech's
"show cars" and a pit stop competition targeted toward company promotion.
Contact us directly to explore promotional possibilities that will best fit your company's
promotional needs.
|
| Q. |
If I need to make changes to my event
package, what is the latest deadline for doing so prior to the event date? |
| A. |
If the changes add laps to an existing program
or take your scheduled program to the next program level, these changes would be made
according to availability. Our brochure and program confirmation outlines the cancellation
policies in detail.
|
| Q. |
What are the safety regulations and
guidelines that I need to be aware of before participating? |
| A. |
You will be required to wear a driving suit and
helmet in order to participate in any of the drive programs. If you have your own driving
suit and helmet, you may use them. They will be inspected by SpeedTech staff prior to use
to ensure that they are appropriate for this type of racing. Of course, use of
drugs or alcohol is strictly prohibited.

| Q. |

Advanced and Exclusive programs? |
| A. |
An individual’s written racing credentials
would need to be provided to SpeedTech prior to enrollment in classes in order for an
evaluation to be done to determine appropriate skill level. Please fax racing
resume to 704-784-9488.
|
| Q. |
Are there any restrictions that would prevent
me from being able to participate? |
| A. |
Yes. You must be 16 years of age and possess a
valid driver’s license in order to drive. Students also should be in good physical
condition. For the “Hot Laps” program, participants must be at least 48 inches
in height.
Of course, use of drugs or alcohol is strictly prohibited.
|
| Q. |
Who can I bring with me when attending the
school? |
| A. |
You may bring anyone with you. Currently,
SpeedTech does not limit the number of guests a participant may bring.
|
| Q. |
What do the guests of drivers do while
programs are underway? |
| A. |
Guests can go almost everywhere drivers go.
However, no guests are allowed on Pit Road. Pit Road is the area where the race cars are
parked and drivers are loaded. Guests are allowed in the Pits, which is the area behind
the Pit Road wall. Guests are permitted behind the pit road wall area if they have signed
the appropriate waiver/release form. Guests are more than welcome to bring cameras and
video equipment. Please note that the tracks in Atlanta, Charlotte, Bristol and
Richmond require drivers and guests to sign a waiver/release for the track, as well as one
for SpeedTech.

|
| Q. |
What should I wear? |
| A. |
The goal is to be comfortable. During the
warmer months of the year, shorts, short-sleeved shirts and tennis shoes are best for
becoming the most comfortable. During winter, any type of comfortable clothing will be
fine. However, we do discourage wearing polyester clothing or boots of any type or style
(i.e. cowboy boots or work boots). We also discourage loading your pockets with sharp
objects like keys, before driving or riding because of the seat belts.
|
| Q. |
What can I bring with me? |
| A. |
Friends, family, coolers, cameras, food, soft
drinks and other non-alcoholic beverages. No glass of any type is permitted.
NOTE: If a student or passenger of a “Hot Lap” is seen drinking alcohol
or if there appears to be cause for concern that someone is drinking an alcoholic
beverage, SpeedTech’s staff reserves the right to not allow an individual to
participate. The participant’s scheduled program may be rescheduled for up to one
year from the date of the original program date.
|
| Q. |
Does SpeedTech offer XtremeX3 in-car
footage? |
| A. |
Not available for the balance
of the 2005 schedule. Look for it again sometime in 2006. |
