RIDES
Ever wanted to feel what the pros feel? Strap in for drift, road race, rally and off-road ride alongs that turn spectators into believers.
DRIFT RIDES
Ever wanted to experience drifting around a racetrack at high speeds? We thought so, that's exactly why we created Slide-Alongs, our version of drifting ride-alongs. At HyperFest, we give you the opportunity to not only go for a drifting ride, but sometimes alongside 2-3 other cars in tandem.
BFGOODRICH TIRES 4X4 RIDE EXPERIENCE
No 4x4? No problem. This is your chance to climb in, strap down, and tackle terrain that would make most vehicles turn around.
Hop into a purpose-built off-road machine riding on BFGoodrich Tires as an I4WDTA Certified Sarek Autowerke driver guides you up massive rocks, across technical obstacles, and into wild sidehill angles that feel way steeper than 45 degrees from the passenger seat. It’s controlled, it’s capable, and it’s the kind of adventure that makes you grin while wondering how the truck is still standing.
This experience is family-friendly and open to all ages. Up to three riders can share the same vehicle (each rider needs a ticket), making it perfect for crews who want to tackle the rocks together. Speeds stay under 25 mph, but trust us, you won’t feel like you’re going slow. Riders must wear closed-toe shoes, and children who do not require a booster or child seat are welcome to join the adventure.
Climb in. Hold on. Let’s see what traction really feels like.
EXEDY RALLY RIDES
Rally on. Helmet tight, heart pounding, dirt flying. Climb into a race-prepped rally machine and let a licensed rally driver show you what controlled chaos really feels like. On the Exedy Rally Course in Dirt World, you won’t just cruise; you’ll slide, rotate, and rocket through gravel with the kind of throttle commitment that makes spectators take a step back. It’s loud, it’s loose, and it’s 15 minutes of pure, dirt-slinging adrenaline.
Drivers 16+ can experience the ride of a lifetime (16–17-year-olds must have a parent or legal guardian onsite and complete a minor waiver). If you’ve ever wanted to feel gravel ping off the undercarriage while the car dances sideways through corners, this is your moment. Dust in the air. Turbo spooled. Let’s go.
BFGOODRICH TIRES PACE & LEAD CAR RIDES
Ever wanted to be at the very front of the field when the tension is building and engines are rumbling behind you? This is your chance.
Climb into the BFGoodrich Tires Lead or Pace Car and take your place at the head of the pack. The Lead Car sweeps the course to make sure everything is race-ready, while the Pace Car rolls directly in front of the field, controlling the speed as the grid tightens up behind you. You’ll have a front-row seat to the moment before the chaos with mirrors filled with race cars, drivers locked in, waiting for the green flag to unleash the field. This isn’t just a ride, it’s the calm before the storm. Front of the pack. Eyes on the track. Heartbeat rising.
BFGOODRICH RACE TRACK RIDES
This is your chance to experience VIR’s legendary 3.27-mile, 17-turn Full Course the way it was meant to be driven, flat out and on the limit. Strap into a race car riding on BFGoodrich g-Force Rival S tires and let a trained high-performance driver show you what real grip feels like. Heavy braking. High-speed corners. G-forces that press you into the seat. This isn’t sightseeing, it’s a proper blast around one of America’s most iconic road courses.
Participants must be 16+ years old with a valid state or government-issued photo ID. Riders ages 16–17 must have a parent or legal guardian onsite with valid photo ID. Grip up. Hold on. Let’s go.
RFH SIDE-BY-SIDE RIDES
Think you know off-road? Now imagine 225 horsepower, long-travel suspension, and a Racing for Heroes instructor who knows exactly how to use it.
Climb into a Polaris Side-by-Side built for trail and desert domination and hang on as it launches across Dirt World. These machines don’t tiptoe, they charge. Expect rapid acceleration, high-speed corners, suspension soaking up terrain like it’s nothing, and that unmistakable rush when dirt starts flying past the cage. It’s raw, loud, and wildly addictive.
Each ride runs approximately 15 minutes, just enough time to question your life choices in the best way possible. Participants must be 16+ years old. Riders ages 16–17 must have a parent or legal guardian onsite with a valid government-issued photo ID. Helmet on. Grip tight. Let it rip.
