If you’re considering attending one of our competition courses, I’d like to let you know that the course involves much more than simply ‘how to drive’ a car. Of course we’ll teach you that and we’ll do it better than anyone else. However, I see the time spent with students as an opportunity to share valuable lessons I have learned that have helped me change my outlook on competition and winning. L

essons that have helped improve my performance in all areas of my life. Over the past 3 decades our goal has been to develop the finest racing instructional program in the country. We’ve spent countless hours building a curriculum that many of our students say is the best motivational and inspirational training they have ever experienced. Through our instruction, students develop a stronger understanding of themselves, their minds and their bodies. Anxiety, nervousness and fear of poor performance are replaced with calm, control and confidence. Age, gender and background are irrelevant. The desire to improve one’s personal performance is all that is needed. We have studied human behavior, physiology, psychology and neuropsychology and combined this research with what we have learned from years on the race track. We have arrived at a winning formula that will not only improve your driving performance, it may just change your outlook on life. License programs available in SC, SG, TD, NFC, TAD, TAFC

And if you, your friends, your employees, or your customers just want to blast down the track, our Dragster Adventure Challenge is for you! This is a half or one-day course for fun in full-sized race cars that travel 0-60 mph is 3 seconds at about 125 mph! Side-by-side racing in the full day program!

Here's one of my all time favorite night qualifying shots from Indy. This is from the in 2008 when I was driving for Roger Burgess/R2B2 Racing. Aaron Brooks was my crew chief and put us solidly in the middle of the field.

“I just got to attend this past July after years of wanting to. The time and money just never aligned to make it happen until this year. It was entirely worth the wait and the effort. It turned out to be one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. I was also proud to have received my license from Mr. Hawley as opposed to just getting signed off at a local track by some folks that couldn't teach me anything and were not necessarily serious about evaluating my readiness for an NHRA license. This program not only teaches you racing, it teaches you life lessons and they don't just hand you a license because you signed up for the program. They make you earn it and you can feel confident once you receive your license that you actually deserve it. That was important to me.

I received my license and have continued to use everything that I learned at the school as I learned to drive my 65 Nova. I highly recommend this course to anyone who has the time and money to attend. It will be one of the best investments that you make in yourself and your safety. In addition, the crew members are knowledgeable and very professional. Overall this was an excellent experience. Thank you!” ~~ Jeff C.

Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School Is Back — And Ready for the Next 40 Years!

A legendary name in drag racing education is entering a new chapter.

Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School is once again under the ownership of its founder, Frank Hawley, bringing the school back to its roots while keeping the people, instructors, race cars, equipment and commitment to excellence that have defined the program for more than four decades.

For over 40 years, the school has helped thousands of aspiring racers experience the thrill of driving a drag race car, completed thousands of NHRA licensing runs, and helped develop racers who went on to successful careers — including NHRA champions.

Now, Hawley is back on the road and ready to continue that tradition at tracks across the country.

“Watching students earn their NHRA licenses, build confidence, and become better racers has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.”

The school will offer programs for drivers of all experience levels, conduct NHRA licensing programs, and continue working to introduce the next generation to the sport.

And perhaps the best way to describe the announcement is the school’s own message:

The name is the same.
The team is the same.
The mission is the same.

For anyone who has ever dreamed of making a pass down the quarter-mile, earning an NHRA competition license, or simply experiencing the unbelievable acceleration of a drag race car, this could be the perfect time to make that dream happen.

Going way back here! That’s me in the white t-shirt helping Doug Brinjak (red striped shirt) at the US Nationals.
Believe Doug bought this car from ‘Jim Parsons’ who ran it as an A/SR called
“High & Mighty”. Each year Doug made modifications to it changing the suspension, front axle & body. I think this was the latest and final version. It was the first time the car was not red & got the rainbow colors & lowered nose.
Doug’s cars were fast! He nearly always won ‘class’ and would go several rounds against the best comp racers in the country. He held the national record in B/A and for quite some time was the quickest and fastest 5 pound car (5 lb/ c.i.) in the world! Not too bad for a
‘Hippy’ from London, Ontario, Canada.
Great memories - thanks for sharing
