Stock Car Racing School

Description:
Learn the fundamentals of handling a 3,400 lb. 600 horsepower Sprint Cup style stock car!

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 to the NASCAR 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.

Experience the excitement of true NASCAR racing!
