(Aged 8 - 16 years old)
Price: USD 495

This is a one-day course for both the student and his or her parent that begins in the classroom. We will start by discussing the fundamentals of bracket racing which will include topics such as staging, reaction time and basic safety. From there we will head outside to familiarize the students with the layout by walking the length of the track and discussing what each cone and marker represent.

Each student will be required to bring their own safety gear and they will be assigned to a race car and spend time familiarizing themselves with the cockpit. Safety is foremost and all operational procedures are thoroughly covered. The students will be asked to perform some basic driving maneuvers such as braking, turning the car off and driving in a straight line.

Students will then begin making single runs on the track. An instructor will observe each run and discuss it in detail with the student before he / she makes another run in the car. Students will make incremental runs based on their comfort level and performance.

These procedures include starting the car, shifting into all gears, and getting acquainted with the cockpit. Pit area driving safety will also be discussed.

Students will begin at the starting line by doing a burnout and staging their cars. We'll begin with short full-throttle runs and progress to longer runs based on each driver's ability.

Day 2
Our second day returns us to the classroom where we will review our runs from the previous day and discuss more advanced procedures like shallow and deep staging, reaction time, activating the parachute, and good driver judgment.

Price: USD 7995
*Only for an NHRA or IHRA Competition License holders

If you are considering going into the semi-pro ranks in a dragster, this is the class for you. No other drag racing school in the country offers an A-fuel driving course.

The goal is to take 7 and 8 second sportsman drivers and prepare them for a semi-pro career running in the 5's at 250mph. This is a 2-day course that will be limited to only 2 students per session.

The course will start in the classroom going over basic safety and operational procedures. We will discuss burnouts and starting line procedures, and then walk the track. We will then proceed to the cars where we will do a cockpit orientation and get you fitted in a driving suit.

Each driver will get the opportunity to run the car up on the jack stands and go through the entire warm-up process. The warm-up process is critical; controlling the fuel and seating the clutch properly will relate to the car's consistency on the racetrack. We will then start with burnouts and a short launch getting each driver comfortable with the sub-one second 60 foot times.

You will continue to progress from there based on each driver's ability which will be determined by Doug Foley. Each run will be video-taped for discussion in the classroom.

What better way to learn than from one of the top Drag Racers in the country! Sign up today.
