I just got a certificate from Radford for the 2 day course. It was a perk from doing that Chief Donut Maker thing. I was weighing the cost of flights/hotel/car to see if it was worth doing but sounds like I need to seriously consider it based on some who've attended?

Wish I could find the time to attend one of those...back in the day attended a couple of advanced track seminars by Keith Code for motorcycles..the knowledge and experience has lasted a life time...do it man..;);)

Are you going by old feed back, or since it’s under newer ownership, what’s the latest feedback. I haven’t stayed up on it lately. Might not be a bad gig and worth getting fresh input. Just a thought ask the forum for newer thoughts

Shit, imagine if we could motivate a big group of members to go out there track it up and get together 🤔
kicking myself for not checking it out after buying two cars with the SRT school. If they would throw me a bone I might check it out. Think that ship long since sailed though. As the saying goes, snooze ya loose !

The feedback I've been reading is under the Radford name. The certificate they sent me is $3299 so an expensive class if that's the actual price.

In "normal" times it'd be a no brainer but with flights and everything else being nutty expensive I started weighing how many car parts I could buy instead :ROFLMAO:

1/4mile drag racing = "Oh shit, I might crash my car once..."

10 turn road course = "Oh shit, I might crash my car in this turn, oh shit, I might crash my car in this turn, oh shit, I might crash my car in this turn..."

For 20 minutes straight... :oops:


;)

Of course, it's their car, so think of the value of the experience but no risk (or wear and tear) to yours.

Wonder if enough folks that didn’t take advantage of the opportunity showed interest they would do something for the group. Heck it could be good PR for them. Speedy could be the ambassador, of course most know that anyway, bring @DGatzby along as top gun track man. Tear the place up & go for some night life, have some of this high quality shine we hear about flown in, get locked up and get jailbreaked out of there. Sounds like a New York Times best seller in the making.

Well just came back down from “are you out of your mind“ experience and decided not that much night life.

I did the 3-day Hellcat course a few years ago while still under Bondurant just a couple months before the shit hit the fan. A lot has changed since then obviously. Was quite pricey, even with the $1,000 discount I was able to use, but was worth every penny and then some - I learned a lot and honed my skills and have a whole new appreciation for road racing and high performance street driving after going in 1/4 mi straight lines for 30+ years. BUT, I will say my opinion largely reflects on the instructor quality, in which I was lucky to have a great one, and I believe he is long gone. Also, the maintenance on the cars was top notch.

According to their website the instructors have been there several years so presumably the same team.

@Speedy!


Do it, I think this is one of those times where dollars spent and value gained aren't (and would never be) inline with each other...


(That's the mentality I had to take for Challengerfest...)

Book airline and hotel accommodation way in advance to keep price in check, shop all package deals, it certainly would cross something off the wish list, and to have that time and actual experience to carry forever with you especially for a purist would be worth it. When I get my Colorado home built it’s almost a given being so close provided the school still puts out quality experience.

Wow just thought what if they came out with a holo car, Hellaphant with SRT driving school Included, Prices of shit came down to pre Biden/pre Pandemic. Everything was easy to source and acquire. Then I woke up and realized it was just a wet dream. 😡

@Speedy!, I did the 2 day performanc driving class. I found it challenging and a blast. I would do it. The instructors were great and even took my kids around the track and drifted with them.

Sounds like a plan...my soon to be brother in law is a sitting Federal judge...(yeah he's a liberal)..but owes me a ton of favors...I know as long as we don't kill anybody..I can get more than a few of us off the hook...:p:p:p
