img_8060When this news goes out, we’ll be running classes at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, CA before heading back to our home track at Gainesville Raceway for the winter and spring.  We’d like to feature some of our grads in an upcoming newsletter, so please send us your pictures and news!  In the meantime, if you’ve already been to the school, tell people about the programs, and please “like” and review us on our Facebook page.  We are grateful to continue to help people get started in racing, or help them fulfill a lifelong dream!  Our grads are our best endorsement and we are thankful for you all!

For those out there considering attending the school, listed below are winter dates in Gainesville, along with some of the travel img_6984dates that have been confirmed at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk and Maple Grove Raceway in Reading. We hope to confirm additional dates shortly at Gainesville Raceway, along with remote class dates at Tucson Dragway, Royal Purple Raceway, Heartland Park Topeka and Woodburn Dragstrip.

The December classes between Christmas and New Years are extremely popular and this year the calendar worked out where we are able to offer TWO classes during this time.  These are very popular for the up and coming racers out there as they are on school break, and also many people have this time off work.  Don’t delay if you may be thinking about attending during one of these classes, as both class dates are half full already!

img_8288Our very knowledgeable guys, Paul Shields and Jeff Arend, are responsive to your calls, texts and emails so feel free to contact them with any and all questions you have about the school, what you’re trying to accomplish, whether you want to bring your own car, arrange a group event, just have some fun, buy a gift for someone, or even treat a potential sponsor or significant other to a taste of drag racing, etc. Their direct contacts are listed at the end of this email.

photo 11-cropThe months of January and February have kept us busy helping people obtain their goal of earning their NHRA Super Comp, Super Gas and Nostalgia Funny Car licenses!

It is always interesting to note the wide range of experience of the people attending the School…some were grads upgrading their licenses, some had been racing 10 and 11 second cars, some were moving up from Jr. Dragster, and some hadphoto 2-crop never been in a race car before!

We are pleased that Sunoco Race Fuels will power all the School’s race cars in 2015!  The Chevy engines in the school’s Super Comp and Super Gas cars will be burning Sunoco 110, while the Alcohol cars will be powered by Sunoco Methanol and Southern Racing Fuels will be making sure plenty of product is on hand for every driving course.  Thank you to Sunoco Race Fuels and Southern Racing Fuels for your support!

In addition to our regular license classes in SC/SG, Top Dragster, Nostalgia FC, and the Alky category, we have a number of Dragster Adventures on the calendar.  The Dragster Adventures are great fun for you, your friends, your employees or your customers.  It will provide a most memorableIMG00152-20110713-1140-crop day on the race track!

Challenge - 06.1This has been a great year! We’ve covered the country from California to Washington to Pennsylvania with lots of places in between.

Our first full season with our Dragster Adventure thrilled drivers and produced some fabulous side-by-side racing and our school is still the only place student drivers can race dragsters in “side-by-side” competition.

Take a look at the video of the John Force Corporate Adventure day. You’ll see John with his daughters Courtney and Brittney and his team driver Robert Hight enjoying a day with their sponsors at our school.

Our school is the perfect place for you, your friends, customers or employees to join in the activities during the Adventure programphoto 3s.  We can plan a private session just for your group!

The fall weather is spectacular here in Florida. We’re enjoying 70 degrees and sunshine while many people are stuck in the “polar vortex”. So treat yourself to a trip to Florida. We have a full schedule of classes in everything from Super Comp and Super Gas to our 200 mph Alcohol machines.

Many dates and locations have been finalized for 2015, so if you can’t make it to Florida this winter (although you should really try!), take a look at our other locations and decide what other race track will work for you or your group. https://frankhawley.com/class-dates-locations/

photo 5.12015 will mark our third decade of providing excitement, thrills, education and fulfillment of many drivers’ dreams. We would love to help make it a memorable year for you behind the wheel!

We look forward to hearing from you!

In between regular classes we’ve been having some fun working with Discovery Canada (full release soon) and Top Gear !

Attached is a short video produced by one of our grads from our June Super Comp licensing class at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, CA. It’s a very nice piece with some aerial shots from a ‘drone’ camera. Click on the following link to watch. Hope you like it!
