How it works: 
 
Our stockcar racing simulator is built from a modified, scale race car capable of 200+ miles per hour.  The driver is surrounded by a full steel roll cage and sheet metal interior.  The body is proportionate to a full size NASCAR® stock car and 2/3 scale for ease of transport and space conservation.  The force-feedback steering gives the driver a real sense of g-force, and tire slip.  This is not the watered down stuff found in other racing centers, arcades, or at home – your arms may experience fatigue.  Another key sensation in racing is vibration, and we've got it.  We have a real, dynamic mechanical vibration, not a little sub-woofer under the seat. 

 

The stockcar-racing simulator has authentic construction and styling.  It features a steel frame and full roll cage.  A fiberglass body that is removable in a matter of minutes.  The stockcar is also equipped with Goodyear racing slick tires and Basset wheels.  The interior is equipped with sheet metal panels.  You sit on Butlerbuilt racing seat, then in front of the seat is a high force feedback steering wheel and the shifter is a B&M Pro Ratchet.  On the panels are working gauges: oil pressure, speedo, tach and a shift light.  Then on the dash panel is where you find your engines start button, aux 1-3, temperature light and gearbox select.  The racing simulator has a THX 400 watt, 4-Channel surround sound system.

 

For the ultimate in seat of the pants sensation, nothing beats a six DOF(degree of freedom) motion platform.  Six DOF motion platforms are an aerospace standard used in multi-million dollar fighter aircraft simulators.  Not only can you achieve six distinct types of motion, but when they are combined simultaneously, just about any desired effect can be had.  One of the most satisfying aspects of a 6-DOF motion platform is the absence of any perceivable pivot point.

The motion platform lets you feel what the car is doing.  For example: when you lose traction at the rear wheels and the back end begins to comes around, you'll feel it.  Without motion, by the time your eyes tell you the back end's coming out, it's usually too late.  Motion also gives you a good indication of how smoothly you're driving, you can feel the even the most subtle weight transfers from left to right, or front to back--something that's almost impossible to see.  Motion also gives drivers a nice incentive to stay out of the wall!  Our software motion control focuses on realistic driving cues instead of the ruckus, over emphasized ques found in other simulators and arcade games.

 

Hydraulically actuated, these units have ample power to excite their half-ton payload.  Each motion platform is constructed of powder coated, welded steel.  A wide variety of hydraulic power units(not pictured) are available to meet a wide range of requirements.  All electronics are fully enclosed and cooled.  A full compliment of safety systems, both hardware and software, are in place to ensure passenger well being.  Static units(pictured) require three concrete anchors for mounting.  Portable units are also available.
