Track Guys events are open to all makes and models of cars (sorry, no 4x4 trucks or SUVs). "Any car can be driven well," says Jeff Lacina, Track Guys owner and lead instructor. "It really isn't about what you drive as much as it is how you drive what you've got. Especially when you're starting out, technique is much more important than technology."
Students are encouraged to drive at their own pace, developing their skills over the course of two days of learning and driving fun. Bottom line: Track Guys Performance Driving Events can help you become a better, safer and smoother driver, both on the track and on the street. "Men or women, young or old, it really doesn't matter. When it comes to getting the most out of you and you're car, you're never too old to learn new skills or brush up on proper driving techniques," explains Lacina. "We have fathers and sons and mothers and daughters come out for fun and to learn some very valuable driving skills...not to mention have a great time learning together."
Cost for Track Guys events vary by location, but are generally in the $275 to $350 range for two very full days of classroom and in-car instruction, as well as the opportunity to go for "hot lap" rides with their talented and enthusiastic instructors.
