I had wanted to see this attraction for some time, having heard it touted by NASCAR race commentators. After paying $19.00 + tax for the "senior discount" ticket, I expected something worthwhile.
What I found was a rather small display of mild interest, like an old race car which turned out to be a replica, a tiny theater with a race film playing that I had already seen on the Speed Channel, two guys trying to entice customers into playing "pit crew", and a display of a Jeff Gordon car (big whoop). There were some racecar simulators (for an extra fee) --disgraceful!! There was an Imax presentation, but it wasn't going to start for another 25 minutes, and there was nothing there to occupy my time until then, as I don't like video games.
Campbell's Bluebird V WAS there, along with Jimmy Johnson's 500 winning car -- the only worthwhile things in the whole place.
After 15 minutes of this, I managed to find an exit -(I expected a "This way to the Egress" sign a/la Barnum), or course, the only exit was through the gift shop maze. Since they didn't sell an "I got ripped off at Daytona USA" tee shirt, I didn't buy anything!!
