18 June 2015 Kent, WA – The more I watch and listen to the students who sign up to go thru the ProFormance School the more reasons I learn why they are taking the courses. Like the books that the racers keep on the ways to race the reasons are many. Most are pretty common like just becoming a better driver or a “bucket list” that you always wanted to do, no matter the reason going thru the school is the best thing you can do to become a better driver no matter the application.

The license that the state issues you after you pass the driving portion allows you to run the roads, the license you can get from ProFormance after passing the driving test will allow you to drive in a road race event. The last post is a great example of this with the two young men that went thru the school.

17 June 2015 Kent, WA – The happenings today at ProFormance Racing School could not be any farther apart in what they are and here for. It started put with a group picture for Cardiac Dimensions Racing for a team building get together.

Taking the entire team thru the day long class and driving experience on the 2.25 mile road course. Though most all have never driven in this or any other type of motor sport and by the end of the day all were driving as though it was no big deal or like they had been here many times before. This is a testament to the instructors and owner Don Kitch and the way they teach.

Speaking about teaching a couple of weeks ago a couple of young men from Oregon came up and went through the school. Today 18 year old Gracin Raz and 16 year old Noah Gragson were testing here with their K&N race cars for an upcoming race in Sonoma CA. A high school grad just days ago Gracin has already proven himself as a driver and Noah is not far behind him. Both looked and sounded smooth in their four hour testing session with all with the approved permission by NASCAR.

It was quite a treat to meet two very polite and gifted young men, and I say men because they have earned it even thou their time on earth is a small number. I wish them good luck and hope to see them again. Seeing and hearing their cars thunder down the straightaway was quite an experience.

10 Jun 2015 Kent, WA – When people sign up for the ProFormance Racing School they have a number of reasons to do so. For many it is a stepping stone to a potential racing job and other’s it is a bucket list item. Add now to that list the just wanting to be a better defensive driver.

Two drivers’ today were doing just that, one going on a road trip using the back roads and another going to Germany and the fast paced roads there. This is not about going fast but more toward being prepared for just about anything that you may encounter. Those back roads have plenty of four legged creatures that could cross your path and knowing how to correctly avoid without impact is a basic skill that is brought to your attention in the school.

Running on the high speed hi-ways in Germany what part of your windshield you need to pay attention to for potential issues up ahead. Two separate reasons for the use of the school but the same bottom line – be a better driver.

See the ProFormance web site for contact info to bring you reason for attending the school.
