26 Mar 2017 Kent, WA – For the dozen plus folks who took part in the ProFormance Racing School this day the weather played a big part. Choosing the date to go to school you hope for a great weather day, but this is the northwest in spring time and the weather is a crapshoot, with the record rain thru late winter into early spring today it just continued.

Bringing out the bumper-shoots that under normal use here shades the drivers from the sun reared back to their original use, to keep the rain off. To ProFormance Racing School and its instructors the weather makes no difference on the program and how they instruct the students.

Looking at the exercises, there are four of them, going thru them I believe it would be worth taking the class twice if possible, in the rain and in the sunshine. What you feel in the seat of your pants will be two very distinct sensations. Once you feel the difference in wet to dry you will come away a better driver in the northwest.

Important enough to parents to put their children thru the class to teach what is not in drivers training and to a husband and wife today with their personal plates sharing the experience together.

11 Feb 2017 Kent, WA – Back for the first time this year the AM Skills class brought in sixteen students for classroom and on track learning. No matter your age or gender you start in the classroom eyes intent on what Don Kitch is telling you. It is the start of what ProFormance Racing School is all about.

What you gain from the in classroom and the four coned stages will show you and let your body feels and what input you need to do to your car in case you need to do so. Being prepared for anything when you are driving is the awareness you will also gain. Just about everything that is taught in the class is not given in drivers training.

This fact brought out a young lady just about ready to get her driving life underway. With no prompting from her parents the choice to take the class was her own, pretty smart on her part. As per requirements all teen drivers are instructed to bring their “daily driver” to class. This young lady rolled up in a full size Chevy truck, something I have not seen run thru the program, all makes and models of cars but no trucks. The shiny smile, I say that because she does wear braces would be hard pressed to remove at the end of the day and also saying “I will be back” to the track to learn even more.

Follow this teen driver’s lead and contact ProFormance Racing School for info on upcoming dates to do the same for yourself as this wise beyond her years young lady did for herself.

04 Feb 2017 Kent, WA – For those parents and teens that attended the school today it mattered only slightly that it was raining. Yes, it was less than ideal conditions, but you could see the focus in their faces as Don Kitch and his instructors coached the teens thru classroom instruction and behind the wheel.

There were four different stages, two at a steady 25 miles per hour and two at 50 miles per hour. What you learn from these four stages is applicable to anyone not just for the teens as this is the way all should learn what to do when faced with it. It’s well worth the investment to go thru the ProFormance Racing School, check out their website for upcoming dates.

On another part of the property The Motorsports Lab and two of their many “super cars” were giving drivers the thrill of piloting one around a coned off pattern of twists and turns. Add to the course the “rain” puddles created by Mother Nature and her winter weather in the northwest.

Watching a Lamborghini plow thru four inches of water is not something you see every day unless you are at their factory testing grounds. Not exactly what they had in mind when they signed up for the experience but the smiles afterword tells all. To learn more go to motorsports.com for more info.

19 Nov 2016 Kent, WA – The High Performance Sport Driving Days have begun on the legendary 2.25 mile Pacific Raceway road course. Open to all who would like to run their ride around the track like those today.

Only one car that could be called somewhat a race car was on hand; all others were daily drivers.  On that note today’s production cars have some pretty good get up and go under the hood.

A light sprinkle was just enough to irritate your wipers but lasted only a short time then gave way to some great driving weather for the afternoon. The great thing about the program is the weather, the driving conditions will change and the experience you gain driving can be your own depending on what you are looking for.

The safety factor is pressed hard at the driver’s meeting with corner worker’s keeping an eye on what you are doing. Drop your wheels off the track and you will be black flagged to come in and talk about what happened and why. Driving beyond your abilities shows up on the actions of your car and they will stop you and correct it, remember “safety first”.

These are the dates for the HPSDD this winter:

December 3rd and 17th
January 7th and 21st
February 4th and 18th
March 4th

06 Nov 2016 Kent, WA – The aspirations people have when they get behind the wheel of an automobile are very wide. No matter your age or gender you dream you could someday race or just drive your new expensive the way it was designed to be driven.

What all have in common is how much better you will be after going thru the ProFormance Racing School and its program. What you take away after the school is your own, but all will perform in a more aware and safety in the back of their mind. The instructors will guide you and coach you on what to do when a situation should arise. Evasive action, dropping a tire both can happen either on the road or race course.

Knowing what to do and when to do it will become clearer as you head for the orange cones laid out for each of the exercises you will go thru. When bang for your buck is on your plate going thru the school is a great investment.
