My daughter and I have been and my son is going in a few months. I wouldn't go unless you are racing a dragster or a car very similar to Hawley's and our Firebird. He also has a reaction time class.

Really, last we talked with Gary he mentioned they did not have one (in-house), but the Florida location did. Time to give Gary a call. When is your son going to take the class?

My son will do the Ca. school driving their Firebird, which is operationally very similar to our Firebird. Ir's too damn far to take our Firebird to their Fla. school.
