Drag Racing

Awesome experience.

I attended the 4-day GT Road Racing course in July and had an incredible time. I have a life-long love of cars and driving but limited experience on a track aside from a few open lapping days, and I’ve always wanted to learn more about track driving. The entire team at Radford did a great job creating a high-end experience where we could learn new skills, push ourselves to progress behind the wheel, and have a ton of fun doing it. Spencer was our main instructor and he was fantastic – he provided straightforward and clear instruction while keeping things low-pressure yet still extremely exciting. 4 days is intense but if you have the time, interest, and stamina, I strongly recommend going for it; it was profoundly enjoyable to feel my confidence grow and things really start to come together in the latter part of the course. Overall an amazing experience and I can't wait to get back there.

These guys are great! Will, BJ, Rob and their whole team are so fun, knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve been two different times and highly recommend for anyone who wants to be a better driver on their daily commute or to learn how to drive a little faster, safer. Do it!

Unbelievable experience. My son and I attended the 3 day High Performance Driving Course in June 2025 (Hot doesn't even begin to describe it but school...

Just completed the roadrace course via their “on the road” version in Spokane, WA. Fantastic experience all the way around. Well organized, built up skills, great instructor and how do you beat handling a 797 horsepower Dodge Challenger on an awesome track (Qlispe)!

Just completed the Roadracing class in Spokane, WA via the "Radford on the road" program at the Qlispe Raceway. Fantastic experience! Great instructor,...

Just finished the two day drag strip course with Radford what an experience can't say enough about the Crew and all the information that I got in over those two days I ended up with a 9/ second quarter mile and certification the Dodge demon 170 thank you Radford for all your information and experience. I will forever remember this course. Also was able to get my NHRA certification for competition license thanks again

my 16 year old daughter was there april 21,22,23 2025 for the advanced teen course... fist off everyone there is super nice.. never have i had things so easy and fast at check in. i was amazed.at this time my daughter has only been driving 4 months with her learners permit where she can only drive with a licensed driver with her. so very little experience.on day one after a short class room session they go out and pic their cars (all hellcat challengers). up to this point she has really only been driving subaru imprezas so a hellcat is a huge jump up. i figure they were gonna have an instructor with her and all but to my surprise they put her in that hellcat by herself right off the bat.. i'm thinking to myself that they are nuts..lol..they also put her out there with 5 other guys that have much more driving experience. boy i was i wrong.:).. i was worried that it would make her nervous or hold the other guys up. they started with advoidance, hard braking and steering then to a slalom course. by the end of the day you could see how much more under control she was at faster speeds.. i was amazed and this was day 1 of three days..being she was the only one in the teen course those three days she pretty much got 1 on 1 instruction. her instructor Les was great with her and you could really see that she was comfortable with him. he constantly pushed her out of her comfort zone. by day three i couldn't believe she was the one behind the wheel.. she was cruising around the various tracks much smoother and faster then day 1.anyone considering this course, do it.. its not cheap but once you see what they teach and what they do on those tracks with those cars you'll understand the cost much more..when we got back home my daughter got behind the wheel and its like an entirely different driver. so much more cofident and decisive while driving.. you can see how she looks ahead now instead of just to the edge of the hood, turns are smoother ,its just incredible... in three days she got more useful driving experience then we could have given her in years..i just can't say enough good things about this place. i thank Les for being great with my daughter and really pushing her. its much appreciated. i feel much more comfortable with her knowlege behind the wheel now..

This is my second time to the Radford Racing school, and it never ceases to impress. The instructors are hands on the entire time and are incredibly both knowledgeable and skilled. The amount of opportunity/time you have to drive “seat time” is truly second to none. I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about learning to drive or what’s to become a better driver. Don’t think twice, this is an incredible experience.

Thank you Radford Racing Team for hosting an incredible experience! Signing up for the Dodge Charger Daytona EV 1st Call program included a 2 Day...

Had a great experience at Radford! If you love fast cars, this is the place for you! The instructors we had were Danny and Kaden and they were both awesome. We spent some time doing a relay race doing a cone drill, then moved on to driving the Hellcats on the track, then we did some autocross time trials and finally got to get out on the track with the instructors driving which was a blast! I can't wait to come back!

Awesome day, can't wait to go back. The instructors are top tier and it was a great experience. Highly recommended.

Just completed the 3 day high performance class. What a fantastic experience! The staff was terrific, Kristy, BJ, Spencer. As the owner of a Hellcat, this course really showed me what it can really do. Also, I need help with the brakes on my own car and they worked with me. Definitely going back to take another class!

Just came off an incredible 1-Day high-performance class. The instructors are super knowledge, nice and willing and able to answer all your questions. I highly recommend you take the opportunity to be a race car driver for a day.

Had an amazing time here. During the summer be prepared for a very hot day. stay very hydrated i would suggest bringing a small towel with you and a large bottle of ice water perhaps even an umbrella to keep the sun off of you at certain stations. enjoy 🙂

Thank you, Rob, Spencer, and the team for a great time, along with the attention to detail, and your patience during the training for the 4 Day GT Road Racing course this week, what an awesome experience!!! Really happy to get my Certificate of SCCA compliance recommending a Full Competition License with the SCCA. The Radford’s Facility, vehicles, along with the entire staff were great, everyone made me feel welcome. Great place to learn the finer details of race car driving. I highly recommend Radford Racing School for a great learning experience. 5 Star Review *****

They teach you so many things that will happen in the real world it was amazing. The instructors were the best and so nice. I would love to come back just to learn and for the experience.

I absolutely love going here. This is my second time doing the Throttle Therepy program. This would be an awesome team-building program for some company with deep pockets. The cost is $499 per person. Group rate for a company? Give em a call.

My Son and I took the SRT Performance Driving Course. It was AMAZING. It was more of a Driving Experience...It Began with a sort of class room Listen, and Learn which took about 45 min- 1hr. Then it was out to the Cars. You spend the rest of the day at these little Satellite stations out doors with the instructors learn different aspects of Driving. So they Teach, and You Do. Over and Over throughout the Day. The Entire Time Absorbing More, and More Knowledge along the Way while Smiling as You are Ripping the cars around on the Different Courses. It is a Full Day of Driving Excitement while you are applying what You've learned.These Instructors are Extremely Skilled, Friendly, and Educated.Go and Take the Driving Experience You will Not be Disappointed.

This educational institution, its staff, and its overall ambiance were nothing short of exceptional. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned professional, they are prepared to provide guidance and instruction tailored to your specific needs. Even if you have no prior experience, they can guide you through every step of the process. I am confident that I will return in the future. One of the best experiences I have ever had.

Was just there for the demon170 racingSchool.Guys wereAwesomeThrill of a life time. ThanksEveryone

Attended the High Performance Driving program that is offered for purchasing a Hellcat/Demon. Added additional days for 3 days of education. Extremely educational and fun! Learned accident avoidance; skid control; braking, cornering and acceleration; and confidence in handling the car. I added my daughter to this experience, and we both had a blast and learned great skills. I would highly recommend Radford; it was worth every penny!!!

5 star experience. The staff, the cars, the experience. You learn how to drive better, faster, smarter, and you leave feeling like you can handle any car at high speeds.

Very fun and good driving school. The instructors were all very nice car guys. Learned alot

This place is amazing! I took the 3 day High Performance Driving class; I'd highly recommend this class for any driver. You'll learn things like accident avoidance, proper braking, what taking a corner should really look like, etc. And you'll get some lead/follow track time. My Instructors were Rob and BJ; they both did an incredible job.

The place is awesome and fun... If you like cars or racing you should go here... The peoe are nice the tracks are awesome.. And the experience is unforgettable... Put this on your bucket list as you will not be disappointed.. Life is short... Just do it... You won't be let down with this company... Do it... Experience it....live it

I just finished the 3 day HPD course and it was a spectacular experience on so many levels. First, start with the staff. All the instructors are highly experienced; passionate in what they do; patient; and overall just good guys. I worked with Zach and BJ and they are just so knowledgeable and you can feel they love what they do. I have a special shout out to Christine who keeps things running there. She helped me with a helmet issue, got creative, and I was off learning and having fun at the same time. The course is tough physically and mentally but I guarantee you will have an experience of a lifetime, have fun and walk away a better driver no matter what wheels you pilot. The fact that all the cars are SRT Challengers was a bonus for me as I have 3 SRT vehicles and what I learned will clearly keep me sharp and allow me to use the driving skills I learned taking the course. If you are a car person or not even a car nut like me and want the thrill of a lifetime while learning important driving skills, give them a chance to prove what all the great reviews say about them and the experience.

Love love love this experience! The staff was so nice, friendly, and very one on one. I got to come here for my 18th birthday present and it was the best present I could have gotten! If I could come here every weekend, I would. If you’re debating on going…go!

I was at Radford the 2-Day HPD course and it was absolutely worth it! My background prior to this was mostly in karting but the HPD course really turned out to be the right choice as a "next step" for my progression.The instructional staff's experience really showed in each of the exercises' demo runs before we did our own driving. Getting the chance to learn and train in a Hellcat made the jump from karting to cars an intense but valuable learning experience.From the skid car to the lead-follow sessions, I got everything I could've hoped for out my first time attending a racing school (even if I did knock out a cone or two in the process + I was the slower driver among my classmates in the autocross sessions).I even had the chance to talk with the sales and admin staff at the front desk after the program ended to get more guidance on how to keep going forward in my racing endeavours (it's clear that everyone who works for Radford has a love for cars and racing so there's never a "wrong" person to talk to for advice).If anyone reading this is looking for a racing school to attend for refining driving skills or expand your racing abilities, I can definitely say that Radford is the right one to go with.

Best school in the country! Highly recommended

Definitely, recommend this driving school. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. I loved how Todd explained everything to both of my kids and made it work for them. My girls had such a good time and learned so much!

I just finished the 4-day GT Road Racing Course, and it was incredible! If you're considering a class at Radford, I'm telling you—just do it. It's a life experience you won't regret.Initially, I was apprehensive because I had ZERO racing experience. I almost talked myself out of it, thinking it might not be fun, too challenging, or too hot in July. I'm so glad I didn't let those thoughts stop me from this rewarding experience.From the moment I arrived, my instructors, put me at ease. The progression from traction and speed control to proper braking pressure and accident avoidance was perfect for making me feel comfortable. Practice on the skid car and autocross course prepared me well for the race course. And it was fun!Rob’s expert instruction was a game changer. The pride all the employees of Radford have is very special. I can't recommend this experience enough.Oh- and the cars are well air conditioned too!

This was AMAZING. Rob, Christian, Spencer, you guys are amazing. Thanks for one of the most fun and memorable experiences of my life. The instruction was top notch, great facility, teaching style and overall program. Fantastic! Thank you. I can’t express enough how much it means to be able to do something like this with my son, and you made it that much better. Thank you!

Such an incredible experience! I learned so much and am more confident handling a car at high speeds. I learned more about using the brakes and a gas pedal. Fantastic and wise instructors and top notch cars and facility. It was a blast and I can’t wait to come back, I highly recommend!!

I attended the Dodge SRT experience a few weeks ago and it was a top notch experience. More fun than an amusement park. The staff were awesome. I’m looking forward to booking another class.

My son and I both attended the 4 Day GT Road Racing course and it was absolutely awesome! The entire experience was first class and the Instructors (BJ & Rob primary for us) and staff were terrific.

Cameron was extremely helpful to get my son comfortable with the vehicles!

2 phenomenal f4 days at Radford. If you are a motorsports fan or enthusiast, I could not more highly recommend this school and their instructors. Thank you to Spencer and Rob for all the feedback and encouragement to push closer towards the limit!

ust got back from my 4 day Radford Racing School. I wish that there was such a thing as a 6 star review because if there was I would give it.From the first minute I contacted Radford every aspect of the process was easy to navigate, well organized and thoughtfully designed.The Course : I have seen other racing training programs and to be honest most really are more of a "let's give someone an experience of being in a fast car on a track" . There's typically some classroom discussion, some materials handed out and then the students are strapped into fast cars and sent out on the track. After a couple of hours they are given a t-shirt and a graduation certificate/photo of them in the car and sent on their way.This is NOT the Radford approach ... they start the students with basic exercises that demonstrate how a vehicle handles, why tires grip and how to use the Physics and Tires to make a car do what you want it do. From this ground up approach the students then are able to put the theories into practice through a series of drills. These drills , when strung together, give the student once they go out onto the track the basic skills to begin to understand how a car can be made to handle so it does do what a race car is supposed to do. As I have learned this is so much more than just trying to "DRIVE FAST" on a windy road.The Facility : It's first rate. It's a campus not merely a couple of buildings set on the edge of a race track. The cars...perfect..not a ding, scratch and expertly maintained. The offices and classrooms comfortable, modern and first class.The People : Again...unparalleled. I was fortunate enough to have the majority of my training with the Chief Instructor ..Danny. What a superstar.Knowledgable, thoughtful, funny and able to communicate abstract concepts in a comprehensible fashion. Led by Danny the emphasis with every student always is on safety, building on your skills , giving the student confidence to progress and making sure that the experience is the best possible. Note: You can often judge a business by their employees and their length of service within the organization. Every Instructor I met had been with the school for many years. However every Instructor was enthusiastic, excited about sharing their knowledge and loved teaching.When I left the school after 4 days I really felt not only that I had learned more than I ever thought I could but as if I was leaving a group of friends who had made time to give me one of the coolest experiences of my life.I am already planning to coming back for more schooling in one of the advanced classes and have contacted two friends recommending the school.In conclusion all I can end with is "Thank you to everyone at Radford."

3 of 4 kids have attended the teen driving course. Both parents attended the high performance driving course. Will change the way you drive. Gives the kids confidence. Teaches you to understand the way the car moves and react correctly. Plus it is lots of fun.

very good service. bj was a great instructor

Great racing school and instructors. Process was very easy to go through and a very fun and exciting experience at the track.

Wow! Wow! Wow! 5 stars across the board. Facility, staff, instructors, cars and memories that will last a lifetime. We did the intro to F4 3 day and our instructor Will was so awesome. Knowledgeable, communicative, friendly, patient and encouraging! I’d give 10 stars if I could.

My son and I attended the 4-Day Grand Prix Road Racing Course last year (2023) and had such a great experience that we were back again earlier this year (2024) for the 3-Day Advanced Road Racing Class. I appreciate Radford's focus on car control that enables speed on the track and safety on the street. All of the instructors are fantastic. Thank you William Hawkins for your attentive instruction and sharing insights that improve driving skills.Smiles all around!

All I can say is....Wow!!!!! Top notch experience from minute one. Everyone is so friendly and professional. Our instructors Will totally connected with...

Had the best date and most special place.I got my Christmas gift, and my wish came true.

Awesome day racing and learning with my pals! 🏎️

Excellent customer service

Attended the 4 day GT Road Racing course - what an experience! The class was composed of mixed ages (15-60+) and experience (I was the novice - lots of autocross and racing enthusiasts). The instructors (Will, William and BJ) are top notch and met everyone where they were, provided great skill training and in-car instruction, and made sure everyone advanced their skills. They know their stuff and are willing to share. I can't recommend highly enough - if you are interested, stop right now, pull up the website and register for a class. You will not be disappointed. I'm already looking to schedule my next class for Advanced Road racing.
