007 Experience

It's gotten the attention of AOL, Motorsports.com and Maxim magazine.

High speed chases - over 100mph, reverse 180 spins, barricade breaching, bad-guy apprehension. This is a driving adventure you will never forget! Experience some of the same training we conduct for our country's highly skilled international security forces as you perform tactical driving sequences, evasive maneuvers, and physical defense techniques that will have your heart pounding. This behind-the-wheel excitement takes place on our North Track raceway, vehicle dynamics area, off-road course, and world-class karting circuit; plus includes mock attack scenarios where newly-learned physical defense tactics are employed!

A few Comments from a  recent participant:

  • At one point the instructor suddenly grabbed the wheel and pitched us off-course into the grass, and my teammate had to get us back under control and back onto the track. Just a taste of things to come.
  • With the engine screaming and the sand flying and with hands a-blur on the wheel, this was big-time fun!
  • When I got hit in Turn 10 and pitched sideways and managed to recover from the spin, the feeling of accomplishment was very satisfying. After we stopped to change drivers, I turned and applauded the instructor who hit me, and he gave me a big thumbs-up. Very cool.
  • Each student gets a few passes, and you’d be surprised how many times you can knock a stationary car completely sideways until your car begins to leak vital fluids. (By my unofficial survey, the answer is six.)
  • We went back out on the racetrack in the Caprices, and had this amazing trick demonstrated to us. Then it was our turn. It turned out to be astonishingly easy to do. This was the one exercise we did during the day that made me laugh out loud every time. I could have spent all day doing Reverse 180s, but it’s a little tough on transmissions and equilibriums after awhile.
  • If you want the ultimate in driving excitement, and to spend a day making cars do things you never thought you’d be able to, The 007 Experience is just the ticket.
  • The facility is first-class, the instructors are friendly, patient and reassuring, and you can combine your day at BeaveRun with an evening out in nearby Pittsburgh, which has transformed itself from its smoky, industrial past into a shining example of urban redevelopment, with outstanding restaurants, nightlife and sports facilities
