Why Kenny Fukuda Racing School?
While coaching at a recent track day at Sonoma Raceway, Kenny's paddock neighbors, both to his left and right, were involved in separate crashes.
At day's end, there were close to 5+ separate incidents which ultimately ended the day early for all.
Seeing a high frequency of preventable incidents on track days, as well as hearing incorrect driving techniques taught, has become an all too common occurrence.
Kenny’s private client that day admitted he felt guilty being the only one to receive such vital information. This struck a chord with Kenny and as a result, Kenny Fukuda Racing School was born.
There's not many things more fun than driving a car quickly and properly. High-performance driving is also a craft and it can be taught. However, racing schools and pro coaches can cost thousands, often out of reach for many.
Kenny Fukuda Racing School aims to spread the joy of motorsports through accessible driving education backed by proven methodology.
Going fast and driving well is about problem-solving. Additionally, most accidents on track occur due to a lack of correct knowledge. Simply put, folks won't know what they don't know.
Before spending money on another track day or vehicle modification, only to potentially repeat the same mistakes again and reinforce bad habits - instead, come learn proven knowledge and arm yourself with skills that will last a lifetime.
This will make you safer, smarter, and faster behind the wheel.
Now it's your turn. Limited to 40 slots.
Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.
