I have a couple of questions for you.
Are you getting the most out of your car?
Do you think a professional could help you with your lane positioning or starting line routine?
I know that there are a handful of racers out there that have had the chance to attend a professional driving school like Frank Hawley's or Roy Hill’s; did you guys feel it was worth it? (Please let me know.)
The reason I ask is this; there is a driving school coming here for a private corporate event in late June. The owner is asking me if there is any interest in having them stay a day or two (or 3) more and hold a real drag school.
So my question to you is; would any of you be interested?
Right now this is just an idea. I understand that cost is a factor and I don’t have any pricing yet, we were just talking about scheduling and if you racers would be interested.
I've sent him a list of questions I have and wanted to get feedback from you, the end user.
Thanks,
Bill

Depends on the instructor. If it were someone like Hawley, Hill, Foley, Richardson I think a lot would be interested---myself included.
Even a day or two with Bruce Deveau of 'the Racer's Mind'
Long as it doesn't conflict with Route 66 events in June I think the turnout has potential for hardcore racers and beginners.
See ya in Staging!!!

I am going to guess it is Luke Bogacki's new school. He has different guest instructors depending on where it is at; around here it would most likely be one or both of the Folk brothers. Current prices for them is $1000 for a 2-day course including classroom and track time each day.

Tony as far as I know it is not Luke's new school. I don't think I can say who it is but Travis may have it right

Don't always believe what you think |

I want to be very clear that this is just an idea at this point.
The chance of us having a Drag Racing School is just as great if not less as us not having one. I gave the school owner the days we have available on the dragstrip and we are both looking at the possibilities.
Having said that I do want to steer this in the right direction.
Doug Foley will be here for a private corporate event the last weekend of June. We are looking at the three days prior to and the three days after that weekend as possible school days. It needs to fit his and his crew's schedules.
Please don't call our front office for information; they don't know anything about this. Please don't call Foley's office, they have no information about this either, it's just Doug and I kicking around ideas.
If there is enough interest we will move ahead and you will read it here first, if it doesn't happen you will read about it here as well.
Please let me know,
Bill

There is weekend time available if you are interested. The corporate event will be taking up less time and that opens up Saturday & Sunday afternoon for you guys & gals that want to drive a dragster.
