If you’ve ever found yourself stuck on I-95 in bumper-to-bumper traffic, dripping sweat, and choking back road rage, don’t despair. There’s finally a solution for the workaday commuter just raring to let the throttle loose on those Formula 1 reveries.

Hooked on Driving is a high-performance driving experience that will allow you to channel that inner Jimmie Johnson or Danica Patrick. The classes will take place this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where you can chase the green flag under careful coaching from seasoned instructors. “It’s an exhilarating opportunity for people to open up their cars on the race track to speeds they could never drive on the streets,” event organizer Henry Gilbert says. Bring your jalopy or rent a souped-up Corvette at the track.
