TOOELE VALLEY -- The Ford Racing High Performance Driving School, based at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, is pleased to announce its complete schedule of schools for 2012.
The world's only driving school sponsored and supported by Ford Racing provides a comprehensive list of offerings for anyone seeking a pure adrenaline rush, ranging from the two-hour Ford Racing Mustang Driving Experience to one-, two- and three-day high-performance driving schools as well as a four-day race-licensing program.
Since its inception in 2006, the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School has become one of America's top training programs for drivers who want to have the driving experience of a lifetime while honing their skills and becoming better and safer drivers on both road and track. The school employs a fleet of modified Ford Racing Mustang GTs and Ford Mustang FR500S race cars as well as a team of instructors comprised of championship-winning racing drivers.
"We're very proud of what we've accomplished with the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School," said Dan McKeever, Director of Track Operation and Performance Schools. "Our Mustangs are safe, fast and fun, and our instructors are friendly, helpful and informative. The positive feedback from our students, along with the new students they refer to us, confirms that we are providing the experience and training that people want. Whether you want to become a professional racer or just to have a fun day in a cool car on a fast racetrack, we have a program to suit your needs."
"The Ford Racing High Performance Driving School is a world-class program," said Mickey Matus, Marketing Manager, Ford Racing. "It should be required training for anyone who owns a Mustang or any other high-performance car. When Ford Racing was looking for a home for the new Boss Track Attack training program for owners of the new Ford Boss® 302 Mustang, it was a very short decision- making process. The Ford Racing High Performance Driving School at Miller Motorsports Park was the natural choice for us, as it should be for any serious driver."
"The facilities are world-class. The cars are excellent. But the instructors are the best part," said Peter Brusati, school graduate. "I didn't think I could learn so much in such a short time. I can't wait to get back on my local go-kart track and see how much my lap times improve."
