ABOUT US

PROGRAMS

One, two and three-day basic courses are designed to teach you the fundamentals of handling a 3,400 lb. 600 horsepower NASCAR Nextel Cup Stock Car.

1-Day Course

In a classroom session, you'll start by learning the importance of driving the proper "line" on the racetrack, and the effects a driver can have on the car. Then, you'll walk or drive (in a passenger van) the track to more closely learn the racing "line", the track reference points for throttle control, and the location of the apex in the turns. Next, you'll become familiar with the racecar, how to strap in, and the operation of the safety equipment, gauges and powertrain.

After discussing safety, communications, passing techniques and pit road conduct, you will suit-up and strap-in with an instructor. As they're driving, they'll demonstrate how it's possible to safely go fast when driving the "line" properly. You'll then drive with an instructor coaching you through your first round of laps.

Then it's time to put the training to work, as you begin practice sessions with 4-6 other students on the track at the same time. Students drive at their own pace, and between sessions will be coached on how to improve their driving techniques. You can expect two practice sessions the first afternoon. (Approx 36-60 total laps depending on track length)

2-Day Course

After an intimidating day one, your confidence grows. You learn to manage traffic. And you become focused on driving the perfect "line" during four practice sessions on the track throughout the day. Instructor evaluations and coaching occur periodically between sessions. (Approx 35-50 total laps depending on track length)

3-Day Course

Having gained a lot of experience by this time, you start to come into your own during four additional practice sessions. Time permitting, you'll learn "Sling-Shot" passing maneuvers and other controlled exercises that will develop good racing habits and build your self-confidence. (Approx 35-50 total laps depending on track length) (3-Day Course is actually completed in a 2-Day time period.)
