Formula 1 Grand Prix Race in Austin
Picture this: high-octane, world-class racing, nestled on a famous race track tucked away just outside of an iconic Texan city.
The Formula 1 Grand Prix Race in Austin serves as one of the most incredible father-son outings. Witness celebrated drivers Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, and more take their cars at a thrilling, break-neck speed across the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). Plus, with the right pass, fathers and sons can bond over meeting drivers and getting autographs and/or enjoying memorable exhibits that tell the story, both past and present, of Formula 1. And you can even go go-karting, which is the sport where all F-1 drivers got their bearings as children and began to dominate the driving world.
NASCAR Cup Series Race
If F-1 isn’t quite your thing, a NASCAR Cup Series race might serve as an equally exciting father-son event. After all, this driving division packs energy into a side-by-side race, when cars reach upward of 180 mph. Plus, the roar of the fans echo the roar of the engines, and you’ll get to see legends like Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, or other stars like William Byron.
Off the track, NASCAR fun doesn’t stop. In fact, you and your son can go meet your favorite drivers, take garage tours, and interact with informative and memorable displays. Let your son gather autographs, see the cars up close, and create memories he’ll keep for as long as he’ll live!
A PRCA Rodeo
The world of courageous cowboys, famous for their daring roundups of longhorns, cows, and more, is alive and well. So, don your boots, strap on your spurs, and get ready for a PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) event!
Each rodeo presents an exciting string of events that have delighted and enthralled ever since Americans settled in the southwest. You’ll see saddle bronc competitions, bull riding, barrel racing, and steer wrestling as the cowboys use their skills to wrangle animals and compete for honors.
Plus, you’ll get to enjoy authentic southwestern cuisine: barbecue!
