I wanted to say a big thank you to all of the staff at the Buck Baker Racing School. It was great to see cars on the track at North Wilkesboro Speedway again. I watched races at that track as a child and was sad to see it closed back in 1996. Through B.B.R.S., I was able to finally get out on the track for a 10 lap ride along. The experience was great. I can't say enough about Allie and the staff at B.B.R.S., they are truly the best! I can't wait to come back again and next time I will get behind the wheel!! Great people and a great experience. Thanks so much!
To ALL @ Buck Baker Racing School My wife & I have had the most exciting, intense, and fulfilling time of our lives since our honeymoon, 13yrs. ago. The entire staff is very professional,safety minded, and a whole lot of fun. Gail had the "RIDE OF HER LIFE" with Al in her 5 lap "hot laps". The sheer joy and excitement on her face that I was able to capture on film is priceless to me. (She was hesitant to go for a 3 lap, I talked her into the 5 lap, and she is VERY HAPPY that I did, and so am I.) My whole day course has been a dream of mine for many years and was well worth the money. At 63yrs. "young" it was THE TIME OF MY LIFE! Gail & my Mother both say I'm 63 going on 15 Ha Ha, probably true. I had heard & read before our April 14, 2010 drive, and also afterwords in Charlotte & Mooresville NC, (to tour the race shops) that the B.B.R.S. was far & away the "BEST". We are in full agreement. Thank you Al, Allie, and the full crew for making our DREAM come true. Roger & Gail Jessie, Brookfield, Wisconsin. Atlanta Motor Speedway, April 14,2010
I just wanted to say thanks for a great time at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Allan was great!!! He made it fun and seems to really enjoy his job. All the crew was great getting you in the cars and making sure it was an enjoyable day. My only regret was that I had not signed up for more laps. I will be back. Next time my wife wants to drive also. I want to thank my wife for a great 40th birthday gift. Will never forget it.
It was great to see that this event had a moment of silence to honor our military. I wish to comment on Elaine Kearley, the young lady who sung the National Anthem. She started the program out perfectly! Kudos, Elaine! I must say that my ride around the North Wilkesboro Speedway was a RUSH! My grandson also took a ride around the track. He went for 3 laps, and was estatic. The people that make up the entire Baker team are personable, and happy to answer any question you may have. You will miss the ride (or drive) of your lifetime if you miss this opportunity. Three words......GO FOR IT!
Wow, what an experience, to ride and then drive around this track, with all its history and to see the efforts to get this track reopened, "AWESOME".... My thanks to all and for anyone interested in going fast, these are the folks to go to. Instructors are great!!!!!!!!! and Allie too, keep up the good work.
Racing school was awesome. Well worth the money. We were at Darlington on Dec. 11. It was a little cold, but once you got behind the wheel you warmed up real quick. One of the best experiences I have ever done. Thanks
Had a ride along hot lap and could not believe how fantastic it was. thanks Jeff and staff for an awesome experience. Cant wait to do it on other tracks. I told my driver he could go as fast as he wanted, and we flew around the track. No words can describe it. My face hurts from smiling and i cant stop bursting into giddy laughter thinking about it. At 53 what an experience
After riding with Kodi at the Hot Laps session on Nov. 9th... I have a whole new respect for the sport. It was a great time and next I'll be signing up to actually get behind the wheel. Thank you again for the memories and for letting me videotape my experience.
As a long-time NASCAR fan, friends and family purchased a 1/2 day certificate for me to attend the Buck Baker Racing School on my 60th birtday.........October 31, 2009....at Darlington Raceway..........."the lady in black" and, most asuredly,"the track too tough to tame".........especially exiting turn 2 where the wall is ready to reach out and grab you if "you ain't careful". The staff at Buck Baker were particularly professional and efficient and, as importantly, friendly and enjoyable to be with. I had an absoltutely wonderful time driving the no. 20 Home Depot car alone at high speed, with other cars on the track and without a leading pace car in front of me. (As I understand it, other driving experiences pace the attendees on the track with a lead car.) Next year I'll be back at Buck Baker again.........this time at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
Finished my second Day Course at Darlington this Oct 31 and loved every minute of it. There is a reason I came back this year to Buck Baker School and brought 4 of my friends, because for the money it is the best one out there. The staff is friendly, they will work with you, you get to drive solo without a pace car, and cars are well maintained and will run as fast as I can drive one. Thank you Buck Baker staff and I will be back next year to do it again !!!
Great Experience ! The school is 1st class and it was a thrill ! Excellent instructors for driving and even if you aren't confident to take the car alone, the thrill to fly around the track as a passenger with an instructor is worth the money. The G-force on the corners feels awesome ! Taking a full out race car alone on the track was alot of fun and has got me hooked. You won't be disappointed with this school. The staff is friendly and they really want you to have a great time. Safety is their first priority which is good to see, but they give you reign alone on the track to let you have a thrill of a lifetime. I will definitely be going back in the near future. thanks Allie and Allen
Jeff and the Buck Baker team thank you so much for the experience of a life time, I'm honored to be friends with you guys, your 1776 DON'T TREAD ON ME car makes me proud to be with NRA. We need to have an NRA nascar, We are going to have to keep pulling this together to make something happen.It will work! If we don't stand up and fight for our second amendment who will? If that right was taken away for fact due to people not being a member or standing up for what they believe in we had mine as well stop supporting our troops,our flag our freedom of speech and go tell our grandfathers,uncles,aunts,cousins that has fought and fighting for us," THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THAT WE ARE SORRY" We give up,what you've fought for means nothing right!!! What would they say? This is what the would say," DON'T TREAD ON ME"!!!!
WOW! Three best friends, on the track at the same time, unbelievable experience! Allie, you are awesome. You made the administrative part of this flawless, and did it with spirit, smiles, and your experience made it flow like a well oiled machine! Allen, your instruction, humor and desire to make everyone have a great experience left everyone attending wanting to come again. Jeff, your personal appreciation for our military members is overwhelming and your generosity towards us makes us proud to serve! To have the Declaration of Independence on the back of one of your car speaks without words! I will be sending each of you a military token of the appreciation that Zeke, Deke and I have for your organization. As soon as we get back from our upcoming deployment, you will see our smiling faces on an annual basis! Thanks to all of your staff; you have put together true professionals in a coordinated effort to enforce safety, increase confidence, and to insure absolute fun! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED ALLIE!
To the staff of the Buck Baker Driving school, I want to thank you for the great time at your school in Darlington on Saturday August 22. We had a blast!! All of the staff was knowledgeable and helpful in allowing everyone to have a great experience driving a race car. This was actually my second time driving a stock car, first was at the Petty Experience in Charlotte. I have to let everyone know after doing both the Petty Experience and then the Buck Baker Driving School that if it is your first time at driving a stock car you better not look any further than the BUCK BAKER DRIVING SCHOOL!!! These guys actually teach you about driving a stock car and then let you go out on the track BY YOURSELF! You can even PASS other cars on the track! They are big on SAFETY so don't let it scare you. The Richard Petty experience makes you follow a pace car. I also want to thank Jeff Boyer for taking me on some Hot laps after I had made some runs of my own, after I got out of the car and then into the driver seat he took some time with me talking about what we had just done and it made a big difference with the speed of my last 15 laps! I will tell everyone that they need to put this on their Bucket List!! Thanks again for the great day, Kenny Eisiminger
Jeff, Just wanted to let you know that the driving school I did on August 8th at LMS with the Buck Baker Driving School was great. I am 55 years old, and I am still excited about the experience. I drove the # 76 car and you and all the drivers were great. I will be coming back soon. I don't know if you remember me or not, but I spoke with you about a group thing maybe at Rockingham. I am working on that already. Hope to see you soon, and again, THANKS, I HAD A VERY GOOD TIME AND I AM VERY SATISFIED.
I already wrote in one time, but I forgot to stress, that if you want the ultimate in driving a stock car, this is the place to go, BUCK BAKER DRIVING SCHOOL. Jeff Boyer can teach you a lot in a very short time in the classroom, and the drivers he has are very experienced and great with you and very patient. You can run at your own pace. If you want to go slow, that;s fine, if you want to really go fast, that is fine. They are with you all the way and show you with great detail how to fulfill you experience. It was great !!!
Jeff just wanted to send a little thank you for the best 5 hrs I've had in a long time you and your staff made my laps at Lowes (it will always be CHARLOTTE to me) speedway so easy. Rich my instructor was AWESOME he took any nerves I might have had and made them all go away.I will defiantly be returning for your 30th anniversary year maybe Bristol this time cant wait to see the military themed cars what a way to say thanks to all our hero's till then thanks again Sincerely, Mike Ryan,Chicago IL.
I wanted to write and THANK everyone who was involved with Melanie and I having the best driving experience at AMS this last week 7/18/09.. Susie - Thanks for answering all my questions and quick responses to my emails.. after all you did i knew this was the School we wanted to take... to the track- Allie - you were AWESOME.. You kept everyone excited and the BIG class flowing.. i really appreciate the way you scheduled our 2 cars so we could watch each other drive.. and our added laps at the end.. Allen - I bought this class for Melanie Dawn's birthday present.. she was very intimidated by the class room section and was overwhelmed with all the things to remember BUT, thanks to you instructing her and riding with her on her driving laps. She fell right into it and had a BLAST.. She hit her marks, and improved every lap. I'm sure you'll remember her screaming the whole way around the track like it was a SUPER FAST Roller coaster.. The "HOT LAPS" you gave her were priceless.. She jumped out and was ALLLL smiles and laughs.. TOTALLY PRICELESS !!... Bill- Thanks for showing me all the marks on the track and helping me find the speed.. I hope we can catch up at a Cup Race or at the next track we go to.. For those of you reading this... These Peeps are TOP notch and the experience was FAR better then i had imagined.. You can drive at your own pace, you can pass other cars, the Drivers and VERY nice and helpful people, and Allie can help you fit into any desired program.. Melanie and I will be back,.. that i can promise !! THANKS !! craig waller craig waller pictures
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful time My Twin brother and I had at your school. We raced at Rockigham and we both took the 1 day beginner class and then the advanced classes. We learned so much from your instructors and their professionalism. There are many racing schools and racing experiences out there but not one compares to Buck Baker Racing School. Cory and I are now getting ready to finish the 2009 ARCA season and will be runing in ARCA full time in 2010 as well as a hand full of Nationwide races for Bob Shacht. Everything we learned about stock car racing, we learned at your school. Thank you so much for helping us make our dreams of becoming race car drivers come true. If anyone is thinking of going to a racing school, PLEASE GO TO BUCK BAKER RACING SCHOOL. THERE ISN'T A BETTER ONE OUT THERE! Best Regards, Christopher Alexander Driver/ Mirror Image Motorsports www.teammirrorimage.com
I CAME to north wilkesboro speedway on jun- 27-09 to do the ride along, and i had a total blast, i never realized the turns looked so tall when you were turning laps, but i did hold on to my camera to film 2 laps around the track, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QQ-UFkyWyU check the link out to see what i saw, and tanks again buck baker driving school
To the staff at Buck Baker,
I just wanted to thank all of you for an AWESOME experience!
Everyone there treated my father & I like we were one of their best friends. Allan, Brandon, Jeff, And Walt (who took me on my "Hot Laps"), Allie, And the rest of the crew couldn\'t have been a nicer bunch of people!! What really impressed me was that they were so eager to make the experience so enjoyable for everyone there. Not just the drivers, or the ones getting Hot Laps, but the ones there to support, and record their loved ones/ friends as they has a blast! My father was the lucky one that got to finish his laps from October, when it got rained out. He couldn\'t have asked for a better experience. He is still going on & on about driving Atlanta, The crew, and the overall great time he had. I cannot stress enough to anyone that might be thinking of attending one of your schools, That your school would be the smartest move they could make !!! Not only that you guys actually let the drivers pass........unlike other schools..haha The only way I could see your school getting any better, is if you could make Homestead on of your tracks ! lol
Keep up the great job !!!
My wonderfull wife gave me this driving exper.for my birthday. I drove my first car in atlanta on april 11 2009. I drove 15 laps and reached speeds of 165 mph! The most highest exp. you could ever ask for. The entire staff was very professoinal and nice, they where very safety goaled. I will be back again with the buck baker team @ Atlanta. Thanks for the best time of my life..
When my wife purchased my One Day Speeding Ticket, I knew it was going to be fun... I just didn't realize HOW MUCH fun it would be! Jeff, Allan, Allie, Walt and the whole staff were VERY friendly, professional and above all, safety-conscious. And I loved the fact that there was no pace car! The next week at work and hanging out with my friends, I couldn't stop talking about what a great time I had! I will definitely be back, and will definitely be telling more people about the Buck Baker Racing School!
