Drivers are transported back in time with cars replicating the earliest roadsters on an extended track, passing by a dozen billboards and signage of California landmarks. Kids take the wheel (with little guidance from underneath), control the gas pedal, and take their parents for a drive.
Height requirement: 48” minimum or accompanied by a supervising companion. Hand-held infants are not permitted.
Berna Eli "Barney" Oldfield was an American pioneer automobile racer whose name was synonymous with speed in the first two decades of the 20th century. He began his famed racing career in 1902 and continued until his retirement in 1918. He was the first man to drive a car at 60 mph. The “speed king” eventually went on to set a new world speed record at 131 mph—but his namesake Great America speedway tops out at a mild 5 mph.
