Give a Holiday Gift Like No Other: the Gift of Racecar Driving with BIR Performance Driving School

As a 'real racer,' your loved one will treasure a day on the track at the historic Brainerd International Raceway

BRAINERD, Minn., Nov. 19 -- Stumped about what to give a loved one this holiday season? How about the ultimate holiday gift -- sitting pedal-to-the-metal, behind the wheel of a real racecar, and personally driving 100+ mph around the world-famous Brainerd International Raceway of Brainerd, Minn. (http://www.birperformance.com/).

A gift like no other, racecar driving at Brainerd isn't just for professionals. That's because BIR Performance Driving School offers safe instruction and track time to newbie and veteran drivers alike. What's more, anyone purchasing a holiday gift card by December 20 receives a 10 percent "racing savings," making racecar driving not only a truly unique gift but also a completely affordable one.

"This holiday season, I'm selling a pure adrenaline rush -- and that's in a racecar at speed," says Gary Curtis, director of BIR Performance Driving School. "We've been in business for 16 years, and every year, we've seen giving the gift of racecar driving become an exponentially bigger hit. The person who gives it is excited, and the person receiving it is extremely excited -- there's just a ton of excitement on both sides. There's no other experience like it. It's the ultimate thrill."

BIR Performance Driving School regularly sells its gift cards to individuals, but with many businesses hosting conferences or retreats in Brainerd, BIR also caters to corporate events. A true vacation mecca, Brainerd boasts fish-filled lakes, fragrant pine forests and endless recreational opportunities, including camping, hiking, golfing and more.

"In lieu of golfing, many people and companies are looking for an alternative activity, so they opt for a day on the track instead," Curtis says. "Driving racecars fosters team-building, confidence and loyalty, in addition to improved regular-driving skills. Our program is very safe, considering that we've taught thousands of people and have never had an injury. That's pretty amazing, given that our students can drive over 100 miles per hour with up to nine other racecars on the track."

Holiday gift cards from BIR Performance Driving School start as low as $265 for anyone bringing his or her own car, and $295 for anyone driving one of BIR's closed-wheel, open-cockpit racecars (Spec Racer Fords). The BIR experience includes 1.5 hours of classroom instruction and anywhere from one 25-minute on-track session to six 25-minute on-track sessions.
