Did this for our 16YO son as a ride along. He had a blast - for the 5 minute experience on the track. Didn't see the need to do the 6 laps. It had rained that morning, so the track opened late so it could dry. Even though they were running behind, they did their best to catch-up. He liked the ride-along because he could actually see. Going 150+ MPH on a 2.5 mile oval with high banked turns made visibility interesting. Fun learning for the new driver.
Lots of "up-sells" and "add-ons", but the experience itself was fun.
Got to the track, signed the waivers, and he was good to go. Booked the reservations in advance. Some tips:

- Spectators are welcome - bring chairs and even umbrella if summer, there is little shade out on the infield where the experience happens
- They've got a small cafe if you need lunch while you wait
- Take pictures
