What Our Drivers Say

I was really happy with the experience and car Dan and the 86 Pieces team provided for us. We were without a doubt the fastest car on track, nearing the ChampCar Harris Hill track record by just 1 tenth. To add to that, they have onboard professional photography which is a major bonus.

Awesome time racing with them, team culture is great and very approachable atmosphere. Car was very competitive and is among the fastest Miatas I've driven. Amazing operation.

I've had the pleasure to compete with 86 Pieces at 2 ChampCar race weekends so far! I've always dreamed of wheel to wheel racing but felt nervous about the experience gap and how to get into the sport. With Dan and the team's help, my confidence with W2W racing has improved immensely and it made me realize that it's a passion I want to continue pursuing. If you are looking at getting into racing then give Dan and the team a shout! Highly recommend to any driver looking for the first or their next step in motorsports.

I ran the ChampCar endurance race with these guys, and I must say it was the most fun I've EVER had racing. Everyone was super cool and got to meet so many new friends. Everyone on the 86 Pieces team was super helpful, professional, and encouraging the whole weekend. If there was ever a problem with the car, the team would fix the car by any means necessary to make sure it would be ready. We had a problem with the car on Friday and the team stayed up practically all night to make sure it was ready for the race Saturday and it ran without fault and we scored a podium. Great experience and highly recommend!

The Experience

Our Arrive and Drive program puts you in a race-prepared car on a podium-contending team. We handle everything — the car, the coaching, the strategy, and the logistics. You bring the pace.

Each weekend includes seat time in our race-prepared Miata, one-on-one coaching tailored to your skill level, full pit crew support, and professional media coverage. We're selective about who we put in the car — our team holds track records and podiums, and we want drivers who are ready to compete at that level.

Not sure if you're ready? Start with a coaching session — we'll get you there.

  • Race-prepared 1991 Mazda Miata endurance car
  • Professional coaching and driver instruction
  • Data analysis and debrief sessions
  • Lunch and drinks throughout the weekend
  • Drivers provide their own safety gear (helmet, suit, gloves, shoes — we'll help you source what you need)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an arrive and drive racing experience?

An arrive and drive program lets you race a fully prepared car without owning one. We provide the car, coaching, pit crew, food, and professional media — you just show up and drive. It's the easiest way to experience real endurance racing.

Do I need racing experience to participate?

No. We welcome drivers of all skill levels — from complete beginners to experienced racers. Every driver gets one-on-one coaching tailored to their experience level, so you'll be prepared and confident before you hit the track.

Where do you race?

Our ChampCar endurance races take place at tracks across Texas and beyond, including Harris Hill Raceway in San Marcos, TX, G2 Motorsport Park near Dallas, and Virginia International Raceway.

What's included in the $2,500 arrive and drive package?

Everything. Race-prepared Miata, professional coaching, pit crew and mechanical support, race strategy, food and drinks throughout the weekend, and professional onboard video and photography. Drivers provide their own safety gear — we'll help you source what you need.

How do I book an arrive and drive weekend?

Fill out the booking form on this page with your preferred dates and experience level. We'll follow up within 48 hours to confirm your spot. Seats are limited to 4 per event.

How long are the races?

Our ChampCar events are 7-8 hour endurance races. Each driver typically does 2-3 stints of 1-2 hours each, with breaks in between for food, coaching, and rest.

This goes out to the dreamers — the ones who've always wanted to race but never thought they could. We're here to show you that you can, and that it's something you can make a part of your life.
