"Riding in a Porsche at Sonoma Raceway was an unforgettable day for me, but watching my son suit up and do laps was truly a dream come true. The racecar was incredible, the hospitality from Michael and his family was amazing, and sharing that moment with my son made it an experience we’ll cherish forever." - Rick G., PARENT

“My son and I had the privilege of spending a day at Sonoma with my Michael and his team. My son Max is a real car enthusiast and has had some track experience in go karts. But this was a whole different level. As a father, the thing I really liked about the day was that it felt safe. Michael has decades of experience that brings a sense of safety and security to the table. There’s plenty of G-Force’s to the exhilarating experience -- but also Michael displays an obvious sense of control and skill. ” Karl W., PARENT

From the moment my son Marcelo arrived, he felt embraced by everyone there. Watching him feel so at home like he was surrounded by family was truly heartwarming as a parent. A special thank-you to Michael and Steve and Parker for making the day unforgettable.

RVF’s generosity in giving kids the chance to dive into the world of motorsports is truly inspiring. Whether they dream of building a career in racing or are simply curious to learn, the hands-on experiences you provide — meeting drivers, mechanics, race engineers, and team owners — ignites a spark that can shape their future. On top of that, spending the day around amazing cars, getting on track, and even driving when possible teaches them the importance of safety and why racing belongs on the track, not on city streets.

We can’t wait to see what adventures await next! - Raul P. Parent

“That was, like, the most exciting part, is that you know that you can go and test the limits of your car, without doing it on the freeway or doing it on the street, where you could hurt somebody. Nice thing about tracks is they're set up to be safer. Going to the track was awesome. I had a ton of fun.” - Parker, STUDENT

“Every time we got into the car, we had to climb over the like, the roll cage, there was the fire protection equipment at my feet, um, I mean, we had a fireproof suit on, massive helmet on, HANS, it was another level of safe.

To experience what it's like to go around corners and go down straights at super high speeds, but in such a safe environment compared to people wanting to experience that in their own cars on the streets, I think it's important that people get that feeling without doing it themselves in a more dangerous environment. Yeah, it was, it was a really fun experience.” - Alex, STUDENT

“First thing, uh, it was a really great experience to be able to meet people my age and to make friends. In high school, it's kinda like everyone knows everybody already. So just to be able to meet new people, um, it's like a, a fresh experience, and making new friends is always nice.

I know it's a big issue where I am, that people tend to just drive like crazy on the street, you know, not really care for anyone around them and maybe even themselves.

There's other people. You could hurt somebody. You could hurt yourself. Just if people know where to go if they wanna drive quick, I think it'll keep a lot of people safe. And having the opportunity to go out to the track, it let me know if I wanted to drive my car quick, I could take it to the track.” - Danny, STUDENT

"I've been extremely blessed to have the pleasure to, you know, join Mr. Summers during his extremely insightful trips to the raceway. The adrenaline and the thrill that I experience while on track is something that I'm just unable to (laughs) convey through my words. But it has been extremely eye-opening with regards to the safety measures that are put in place to carry out such, you know, performance driving.

And it really does highlight the drastic difference in safety, you know, comparing day-to-day driving with track-focused driving, where it just allows for the grace and second chances that regular day-to-day driving on the street doesn't provide. The track is the place to, you know, experience such thrills in a safe manner." - Hemanth, STUDENT
