Frank Hawley Driving School At Pacific Raceways – August 7th, 2013

Posted on by

Frank Hawley Driving School at Pacific Raceways 8-7-2013 05307 Aug 2013 Kent, WA –  ” WOW” is all I can really say! To have such a legend in the sport of drag racing bring his school to the Northwest is rare indeed. This the 8th stop on Frank Hawley’s  yearly plan to teach those that are interested in racing. To bring his school here has to show great interest in sportsman racing in the Pacific Northwest and the chance to be taught by the “best” in the business is a chance of a lifetime.

Just 13 students were given both classroom and enough track time to gain the license they were seeking. This small class size is kept that way so one-on-one teaching is the main focus. It started with a couple of hours of classroom on the safety and operation based the license the students were seeking. Then it was out for your first “run”.

Under Frank’s expert eyes and hearing he noted the good and bad of the student, then addressed it in the next classroom session. As you proceed thru the four basic run distances with complete control of the runs along with the classroom time you can earn your license signed and approved by Frank himself. I can’t think of a better person’s name on a document that lets you do something you love to do. The two men who work with Frank for the school track time portion at Pacific Raceways are quite noteworthy in their own right. Jimmy Montgomery and Sean Rutan take care of the students entering and exiting their rides.

The thorough preparation of each student to drive the race car is a very integral part of the school, though their duties are many this is the most important. As the interest grows and enough potential students inquire, could we see the school here next year? Hope so.

If you are interested in attending type “Frank Hawley” into your search engine and check them out. Next year it could be you experiencing the sport of drag racing, taught by the BEST IN THE BUSINESS.
