Speedtech
September 18, 2010
Randy Baker wants you to “Know the Difference” between SpeedTech Auto Racing Schools top-shelf motorsports events and any other NASCAR - style driving experience that you may find elsewhere. The Difference… SpeedTech Auto Racing Schools is a high performance race car driving school. Students are not required to follow an instructor-driven pace car at SpeedTech, and passing other students on the track is allowed. It's easier than you think. SpeedTech's entire fleet consists of authentic all-metal-bodied stock cars equipped with 650 horsepower V8 engines that come from only the top contenders and championship-bred race teams in all of NASCAR. Without pace cars to follow, SpeedTech Auto Racing Schools provide a freedom not found at any other type of NASCAR Nextel Cup racing school or driving experience.

BMW Street Survival
September 25 - 26, 2010
The Tire Rack Street Survival® school is a safe teen program designed to go beyond today's required driver's education and give teens across the U.S. the driving tools and hands-on experience to become safer, smarter drivers. Trained and qualified in-car driving instructors as well as classroom experience for each student. The primary emphasis of the Tire Rack Street Survival® is a "hands-on" driving experience in real-world situations! We use your own car to teach you about its handling limits and how you can control them. The students will become more observant of the traffic situation they find themselves in. They will learn to look far enough ahead to anticipate unwise actions of other drivers. As the students master the application of physics to drive their cars, they will make fewer unwise driving actions themselves. They will understand why they should always wear their own seatbelts, and why they should insist that their passengers wear seatbelts, too.
