BAM TOUR’S TESTIMONIALS: "What a fantastic experience. The attention to detail and BAM's willingness to take care of everyone on an individual basis was exceptional. Crusher and his team are on a winner and I could not recommend the organisation more highly," Steve Teear, Victoria "We will be back. We have been on other tours over the years, but nothing organized this well or providing so many great experiences," Denzil and Mary Mead Tasmania "I was one of a few guys who returned after last year's tour and it again lived up to my expectations and then some. Crusher and his team introduced some cool new experiences and provided enough fresh activities to make the return visit worthwhile. It is refreshing to deal with a company so focused on customer service. You know they genuinely want you to have an experience you won't forget," Rodney Woods, Victoria "From the time we stepped off the plane until we were presented with our own framed autograph photo of ourselves with Marcos, minutes before leaving everything was taken care of. A lot of businesses could learn a few things from BAM Tours. I am looking forward to my next trip," Tim Hodges, Victoria "I have been fortunate to be able to do some cool things, but this trip was one of the best experiences of my life. The attention to detail was terrific and the list of experiences went on and on. The enormity of NASCAR is beyond comprehension, but the guys at BAM Tours have taken that in their stride and developed some amazing relationships which they pass on to their guests. I will be back and so will some of my friends," Adrian Di Lallo, Perth

While this is primarily a motorsport tour, we are always trying to add value and experiences to each BAM Tours adventure. Part of our November Texas tour will be a visit to the Dallas Downtown area where JFK, the 35th President of the United States, was tragically shot in 1963. Our connections have also given us the opportunity to do a behind-the-scenes tour of the magnificent Cowboys Stadium – the venue for this year’s Super Bowl. The stadium features two monumental arches, soaring 292 feet (89m) above the playing field, which support a retractable roof. As the longest single-span roof structure in the world, each arch box truss is 17 feet (5.2m) wide by 35 feet (10.6m) deep. Weighing 3,255 tons each, these impressive structures span 1,225 feet (373m) in length. The expansive retractable roof is the largest of its kind in the world and measures approximately 661,000 square feet (61,408sqm). When closed, the roof encompasses 104 million cubic feet (2944952 cubic metres) of volume, making it the largest enclosed NFL stadium – It is controlled by 128 separate motors.

COWBOY’S STADIUM VIP TOUR
As they say "everything is bigger in Texas" - and that's going to be the case with this tour. Not only will we get a good look around the Texas Motor Speedway over our three days there, we will also be staying at the magnificent Gaylord Texan Resort and doing a tour of the incredible Cowboys Stadium. The Gaylord Texan is the best facility we have stayed at on any BAM Tours adventure and it promises something for all our guests. This 1500-room resort comes complete with six restaurants and seven lounges, a nightclub, spa and fitness centre and a 10-acre pool complex including a family lagoon and lazy river. The Grapevine Mills Mall, the biggest in Dallas, is just a mile away and the hotel runs shuttles to it on a regular basis. This complex has more than 180 stores, 29 restaurants and a movie theatre. We are trying to design our final schedule so you have the opportunity to enjoy all these great facilities. While we will have our own luxury coach for all transfers, the Gaylord also runs a shuttle to the Texas Motor Speedway, if you decide that you would like some extra time at the Hotel and a little less track time during our stay. As part of your package you will receive breakfast each day and a resort pass which allows you access to the majority of facilities.
It is going to be BIG!
