Are you just a spectator, or...
DO YOU WANT TO GO FAST?!
Then the
Northwest Drag
Racing School
IS FOR YOU!!!
Do You Feel The Need For Speed?
It has finally arrived!!
For a long time, Canadian motorsports enthusiasts have had to travel
to the Southern or Eastern United States to experience the drag racing speed
experience if they don't want to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a race
car of their own, or those who would like to step up and run faster than the
car they currently compete in. The 40-50% exchange rate on the US dollar makes
the school experience out of reach for lots of us. A $1500 school now becomes
$2500 plus the travel costs and other expenses.
Our school uses two state of the art Rear Engined Dragsters, based on
your "need for speed". The first car is a 160mph Super Comp Dragster.
The second car is really two cars in one. This Dragster is designed for teaching
two different classes. The first class is for one of the most exciting new classes
to hit drag racing in the NorthWest: The Advanced ET or Top Comp Class. These
cars run 160mph to 200mph + in only seven seconds.
The other class is for the "hold on to your helmet, hair straight
back, need for speed, adrenaline rushing, thrown back in your seat, ultimate
drag racing experience!" Top Alcohol (Federal-Mogul) Dragster!! Yes, ladies
and gentlemen, six second, 210mph+ runs down the 1/4 mile are within your reach
and budget.
If you were to go out on your own, and run one of these behemoths, you
would be looking at close to $100,000 for all that is needed. We take care of
everything for you. For as little as $2,995 you can make runs down the 1/4 mile
in under seven seconds at speeds approaching 200mph.
All our Drag Racing programs provide excitement for whatever your thrill
level is. Safety is our utmost priority, so we have multiple levels for each
race car, depending on your experience and your goals. Of course with each class
you have the ability to apply for and receive your NHRA Competition Licence
if you meet the requirements.
School classes are as follows:
2 day Super Comp School: $1495.00 (includes 6 runs)
This school is designed for the person with some drag racing experience.
Whether he or she has competed in the past, or is currently running a race car
but would like to upgrade to an 8-second 150+ mph rear engined dragster. The
first day is in the classroom. We teach all of the safety aspects of drag racing,
and we familiarize you with the race car. The second day you are in the seat,
for the thrill of a lifetime. Your entire day is spent on the track. Between
runs we go over everything you did, to help you advance confidently and safely.
(To receive your NHRA Competition Licence, you must have your NHRA Medical
completed and then pass the driver requirements set forth by NHRA). This school
price does not guarantee your licence, but you can purchase extra runs if necessary
at $150.00 per pass. This class is limited to three students per session.
3 day Super Comp School: $1995.00 (includes 8 runs)
This will probably be our most popular school. It is for the first time racer,
or for those who have been out of racing for a while. Safety is the first priority
in this class, and students will progress at their own level. Because of this,
space is limited. Extra time is spent one on one to ensure that you are confident
and able to safely drive a 150mph race car. Again, if you are attempting to
receive your licence, all requirements must be met. There is no guarantee that
you will receive your licence. Additional passes may be required.
2 day Advanced ET School: $2995.00
Now you are getting into the cockpit of a 2000+hp Federal-Mogul Dragster.
This car is set up and tuned for the driver who has some racing experience:
He or she wants to step up to a car that is capable of speeds approaching 200mph
and times hovering in the high six-second, low seven-second range. The above
price is based on speeds of mid 170-180's mph and ET's of 7.3-7.4 seconds. If
you wish to run right at the top of the class, ie: 6.60-6.90 at speeds in the
200mph range, then the price of the class increases to $3295.00. This can be
decided at the school on your date.
You currently have a competition licence and wish to upgrade. The first day
is theory based. You will go through all the aspects of driving a car equipped
with a clutch activated three speed Lenco transmission. You will leave at a
higher rpm from the starting line, so it is quite a sensation of 1-2 g's of
acceleration. At the end of the 1/4 mile you will deploy one or two parachutes
so you will also experience negative "g" forces. Again, safety is the most
important aspect of drag racing, and we will teach all the safety requirements
necessary to confidently reach your goal.
3 day Advanced ET School: $3995.00
This class includes the Super Comp class and the two day Advanced ET class
all rolled into one. All of the 2 day course is included with extra emphasis
on teaching. The 3 day school is designed for the person who wants the full
experience. Day one is strictly classroom teaching and static car orientation.
Day 2 and 3 are spent on the race track in the car. You will gradually progress
at your own speed, down the track until you are making full, hard charging runs
down the 1/4 at speeds approaching 200mph. Again, the price of the course is
based on 7.3-7.4 ET's at 170-180mph. An additional $300.00 would be charged
if you would like to run in the 6-second range at 200mph.
2 day Federal-Mogul Dragster School: $4995.00
High horsepower, big thrills. This is for the motorsports enthusiast who
craves the need for speed. This applicant currently has their Super Comp or
Advanced ET Licence and wants to run in the top category of NHRA Sportsman
racing. These cars are the highlight of every Division's Federal-Mogul Drag
Racing Series events. You will be strapped into a 2000 horsepower methanol
(alcohol) fueled race car. This car is capable of 5-second 230mph runs down
the 1/4 mile. You will be making passes quicker than 6.3 seconds at speeds
close to 220mph. What a rush!! Again, safety is the major concern for all the
schools and you will be thoroughly trained in all aspects of safely competing
at the race track.

Note:
All of the school programs listed do not guarantee your NHRA Licence. Every
effort will be made to see that you accomplish your goals. If you wish to get
your NHRA Competition Licence you will have to have your NHRA Medical completed
prior to the start of the school and complete the requirements set forth by
the NHRA's Licencing Department. All applicants will also be required to sign
a release waiver.
