“Saturday was another great day at Thompson with the mod's. It was good seeing you. All of the guy's were great as usual. Mike showed us a different line "diamonding" turns three and four.
Wow, what a difference! I look forward to next year with you and your crew. Thanks again!” -PJ Ottilige
“Hi i just recently did a 3 stage class it was 2 late model cars a the modified: I have to say it was the most unbelievable experience you can have!
Al lane himself was very helpful and his crew was top notch and and ran a very professional and fun day. I highly recommend it for those who want to complete that bucket list!” -Henry Calabro

Looking forward to Race Day in October!” -Steve Gaucho
“I attended your school on Sunday and had an awesome time! I've been behind the wheel of some high horsepower cars on a road course and drag strip, but had never experienced oval track driving. After leaving your school, I'm a fan! The only thing better would have been driving that Mustang...to better fit our social media channel. Thanks for such a great experience. I would love to come back!! John Legan @MustangGarage”
"Awesome experience! I got it for my birthday was excited as well as a little apprehensive. However, they do a great job of making sure you have a safe and fun experience. I would do it again for sure!"
“Great time,, Great people,, Great cars.. I got treated to a five lap gift card for a xmas present. Probably the best gift I could ever get at my adult age. I also bought video, picture and professional ride around. Pro driver ride was totally worth the money, he was definitely driving it which I enjoyed. I got to see his breaking points, and where he was getting back to throttle. Definitely a great experience, but the self driving was out of this world. Your in the car by yourself going as fast as you want, I enjoyed it so much I'm going back. A must do for race fans of all types!” -Anthony Miconi

“I can’t let the 2019 season end without commending the amazing team at The Racing School. I have participated in other programs with some of those “big names” and those experiences fall far short of The Racing School’s. I have been a diehard participant and made multiple visits this year. Every person involved in this operation is incredible. They go out of their way to make sure everyone has an unbelievable experience. A straightforward orientation that will put first timers at ease and give you the confidence and knowledge to safely drive a real race car. And once you get your first taste of driving these fantastic, well maintained machines the only question you will have is when can I come back!! Thank you for the memories that will last a lifetime. See you in 2020”. - Emmett Lee
