More FAQ's

Can I bring my street car?
- We strongly recommend a caged racecar for this school. There will be door-to-door racing and passing exercises, and while contact is not encouraged, it does happen. You will be responsible for the damage caused to your own vehicle.

If I rent a Spec Miata or Spec Racer Ford, what am I responsible for?
– You will be responsible for fuel and damages. You will also be required to sign a lease waiver with a credit card authorization form for the outside companies who rent the vehicles.

How much track time will I get during this school?
– We spend much of the first day in the classroom and on our autocross course. You will do one or two sessions on the track at the end of the day. Days two and three are spent mostly on the track. There will be short classroom sessions and breaks throughout each day.

What is the youngest age someone can participate?
– We can license students as young as 16. Special arrangements can be made for 14 & 15 year olds, but this process must be started before the school, so please contact Kurt prior to signing up.

I don’t know how to drive a manual transmission car. Is that a problem?
– YES, YES and YES! All of our rentals are manual transmissions. You must already know how to drive a manual before attending the class. The clutch pedal will be required to start and stop the car, and in most cases the participant will be required to clutch the car when shifting while on track. By selecting to rent a race car for the school, you assume the responsibility to show up with proficiency in driving a manual transmission with clutch pedal. It will be at the discretion of the instructors to disqualify you from the school if you cannot drive a standard transmission. Disqualification will result in forfeiture of your $300 security deposit.

Are there real racing exercises during this school?
– Yes, you will be doing live passing and lapping drills. We will also have several practice starts and mock races. These modules will include veteran racers in addition to your fellow students.

How often do you offer this school?
– We have Competition License Schools once a quarter. If the current date doesn’t work for your schedule, please contact Kurt and he will update you when the next school dates are set.

Is there a minimum and maximum number of students for this school?
– We require at least 4 students to hold this Competition License School. We typically have no more than 15 students in our classes.

Does the weather affect this school?
– Just like SCCA Club Racing, we will drive rain or shine. Obviously, we will take a break during extreme weather (lightning and torrential rain), but please plan accordingly based on the forecast. When looking at the weather forecast, be sure to look up Angleton, TX 77515. Our proximity to the coast makes our weather slightly different than Houston-proper.
