Formula Car Education[edit]

A combination of classroom instruction and on-track driving teach the fundamentals of operating and driving a race car. Successful completion of a Basic 2-Day program qualifies a driver for a SCCA Regional Competition License.

The Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series is an entry-level, arrive-and-drive formula racing series for young drivers transitioning from karting into race cars, as well as drivers interested in racing as an avocation.

Private Events are custom events executed for corporate group, driving clubs, and other organizations looking for exclusive branding and training for their members and clients.
