My Experience At Frank Hawley's Drag Racing School
Просмотров 19 тыс.8 лет назад
I attended the Super Gas license class at Route 66 Raceway 6/30-7/1, 2016 and it was an incredible experience! This video shows the driving portions of the class, but the lectures were great as well. So many topics were covered: technique and mechanical information about the cars, correct track etiquette (and the deadly reasons why), the physiology of how your eyes work and how to correctly use...

I just finished Frank Hawley's Awesome Drag Racing School. I was curious about the rpm during the runs so I cropped this video down around the Tach.

    I took the course in Florida. What a joke..... my f150 is faster than the junk they put us in. I didn't take much away from there. You either have it or you don't. It's really not something that can be taught. Just my opinion.

    @johnwilburn 4 года назад

    I just took the course and the same driver right before me had two engines blow up on him in two consecutive runs in the same car. (One last run of Tuesday. One the first run of Wednesday). They said it’s been five years since they’ve had an engine failure. This video was what they were referring to. One engine was 13 years years old and broke a wrist pin. The other was fresh off the dyno and broke a rocker stud on its first pass. Some people have all the luck....

    Did they require you to take a physical since the Level 4 license doesn't require one?

    • @wideopenthrottle1165
      @wideopenthrottle1165 4 года назад

      Nope. I probably had to sign that I was in good shape for it, but no physical was required.
