WHAT PREVIOUS STUDENTS ARE SAYING?
One on one personalized instruction midweek with the entire track to myself! Larry Mason was excellent as an encouraging, knowledgeable, and patient instructor. Car setup and track were great. Probably one of the more challenging things I have done but having professional instruction was extremely valuable. Thank you to Larry and Fastlane!
My goal is to drive in the Porsche Sprint Challenge West series and I wanted to get my SCCA license first. Matt and I went wheel to wheel and my lap times at Buttonwillow fell dramatically. Worth every penny. Matt is a legend. #don’t-lift
We had a large group with unique requests, but Larry and the gang were wonderfully accommodating. Great experience.
I took my two teenage daughters for this all day training. They worked one on one with professional drivers who gave them personalized instructions. They had a blast while learning how to drive in dangerous conditions, practicing emergency lane changes, braking and so on. Maybe raced a little at the end while learning how to turn safely. I feel better with my kids driving now that they have received this training. My teenagers are much more comfortable and confident and hopefully cautious while driving now. I would definitely recommend!
Awesome experience. Highly recommend. Matt and his crew are great. If you want to learn how to go Fast The Right Way. Than Fast Lane Racing School is for you.
The instructors were excellent and I learned a lot about the technical aspects of racing. Highly recommend.
