95 Sprint Car Driving School




Description

95 Sprint Car Driving School

There is a driving school for 600 bhp sprint cars run by Mike Clayton.
It appears to be a small, well hidden school, but I (John Liskey) was
impressed with their professionalism over the phone which was better
than some of the larger racing schools I've called in the past. There
was also a one page editorial about the workshop in an issue of Car
Driver about 6-10 months ago. It got a very positive review. Some
details:
