Description

The listing, Certificate for a Ride in an Indy Car on Indianapolis Motor Speedway! has ended.

This auction is for a certificate that entitles one person to enjoy the opportunity of a lifetime. Take several laps around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with a professional driver. Feel the G-forces as you hit the turn. Experience the excitement of track speeds along the straight-away.

I've done this several times and there are few experiences in life that compare. The certificates will allow for 1 person to participate in the ride along, but they allow you to bring family and friends to watch - which is a neat opportunity in itself - to be in the pit with the cars whizzing right by you!

The company typically posts the available dates in late January or early February - you'd simply need to pick the date and call the company to reserve it, then show up and enjoy this mind-blowing experience.

Want to do this with a friend? I have a second certificate listed here as well.

Must be 18 years of age, < 250 lbs and < 6'5" tall. Company rules, not mine.

By the way Brifian... make sure you see the age restriction. They are not allowed to let anyone under 18 or >250lbs or > 6'5" height ride. They will turn you away for this, as these are the safety constraints of the vehicle. So only bid for someone who meets these criteria. Beyond that, pretty much anything goes.

Probably the coolest auction ive seen on here so far. The only thing that could beat this is maybe get to throw the first pitch during a Sox game or something. Cool for you to list.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing. Makes it hard to believe bidding is only up to about $1.00 in credits for a $600 item. I may be pulling this deal if we don't materially exceed 40-50k credits (which judging by where gift cards sell is about $80-$100). I don't mind someone getting a great deal, but this is a joke.

Well, looks like you can't pull an auction after bids are placed (that wiley little delete button disappeared!), and having just read through the rules it appears I'm committed, so it is what it is. High bidder takes it for better or worse. I do have a second cert which I did pull with no bids on it. If bidding reaches reasonable levels, I'll offer that one to the high bidder here for the same amount. If not, I'll just be giving it away to friends. Ah well. Somebody's going to make out like a bandit.

No worries Kurt. My word is my bond. Former military officer here and I don't mess around. Please don't be painting the false picture that this certificate is invalid though. I've already addressed the issue above and anyone I've dealt with on here knows that I deliver - over 100 auctions in the last month alone. Don't think it was your intent, but onlookers might misinterpret your comments as a bidding strategy at the expense of my integrity, and that does neither of our reputations any good. Cheers and good luck if you do decide to bid.
