Helmets are included, but you must be at least 15, carry photo ID, and use a major credit card.

“Best experience ever!! I was super scared at first. Especially because this was my first time drive anything that fast, but after a bit practice, I had the time of my life. It had me excited the whole time, not once was I bored.”
