Me with Frank Hawley Multi-Time NHRA Drag Racing Funny Car Champion and World Class Instructor, September 25, 2008 Las Vegas Motor Speedway
When I decided to go to Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School, I had no idea what to expect. As a matter of fact I signed up at the very last minute so from the time I was accepted until the moment I got there I didn’t have much time to develop expectations. It was suggested that each student immerse him or herself in the procedures for driving the car, understanding where all the controls are and what they do, and to have it all memorized. That meant I had homework to do. Just the thought of school brought me back to the dreadful days of high school, where I would usually escape by imagining myself traveling around the world skateboarding new and undiscovered terrain. For a split second a similar thought of dread echoed in my brain as I contemplated what this experience was going to be like. Class started at 7:30am sharp on Wednesday and Thursday, September 24-25th at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
