5/5
"We signed up for the first racing school and met a lot of great people and learned a lot. The staff and instructors are awesome and honest. If you have just always dreamed of the experience of an open wheel car or are wanted to start honing your craft this is a great place to start. All of the staff really make you comfortable. Highly recommended if you have any interest in open wheel racing!"
