Driving School FAQ

The driving school consists fo a two day course, which is held on Friday and Saturday, we keep Sunday for a rainout. The normal routine is, eight hours of class on Friday, which includes a half a day in class, and the remainder of the day out in the shop, with "HANDS ON" training. Knowing how to set-up a race car is the most important part of winning a race.

Every student that attends my class will receive a copy of the twenty-four page book that I have put together from my thirty-nine years of racing experience. Attending my class is the only way to receive a copy of this book. We will complete the driving school on Saturday by spending eight hours at the track.
