About this event
Join the best driving instructors in the Northwest at Spokane County Raceway and improve your driving skills. Our driving schools match each student to an instructor to provide one-on-one on-track guidance to help you improve your driving ability. No matter how much, or how little experience you have behind the wheel, on the street or on the track, our driving schools will make you a better driver.
Our schools have been compared to the best professional high performance driving schools in the country, schools that charge thousands for the same curriculum.
Beginners: If you’ve never been on a racetrack before we have a specific group just for you. You will be on track ONLY with other beginners. We match you to an instructor and teach you driving position; “the school line”; accelerating, braking, and steering on “the line”; overall car control; and traffic management. What you learn will make you a better driver on the street and prepare you for future driving schools
Intermediate and Advanced: Instructors assess student’s abilities and work on specific skills to enhance car control. We teach you to modify your line based on changing factors. We teach you how your vision controls where the car goes. We teach you how to “feel” what the car is doing, and to understand how your inputs and outside factors affect its behavior. You may be “signed off” by your instructor to continue your learning on your own, without an instructor in the car.
Whether you are a beginner or advanced driver, whether you goal is to learn to drive more safely and confidently on the street, or develop racing skills, our program is custom tailored to each participant. Your instructor will assess your skills, set priorities, and work with you in the car.
Registration opens at 7am and we are on track by 9am. We provide lunch each day and a catered banquet Saturday evening.
