Hello, question for those who have attended, if your wife accompanied you was there enough for her to do outside of attending a class and watching the track time? Thanks Tom

My wife went with me and enjoyed reading in the clubhouse, using the gym and relaxing in the well-furnished condo.

My wife got to experience two rides with instructors.
She enjoyed learning in the classroom sessions and interacting with the other spouses during breaks.
While I was on the track she went with other spouses in the van and took lots of great pictures of me at the various exercises and laps around the track.

My wife won't let me go unless she can attend and drive also. Truth is, she is a much better driver than I am.

Probably depends on the wife. If they are active an wanted to go out and hike there is red rock park. There are a few places to spend time in Pahrump but not a lot. If they wanted to spend time around the track they could easily fill the days

you can have her drive, but another driver is full price. There is no splitting seat time and they cannot ride along with you. They want no in car distractions. She can ride with the instructor some laps though. They do allow spouses to attend the classroom sessions if they like.

My wife also. It was well worth the price. She’s on the title and she needs to be able to drive the car if something happens to me on a road trip. Even helps out at the wheel a couple hours a day while we’re traveling.

There are other things to do besides being there in the classroom with you but time goes fast during the two days, my wife was never bored.
