Q: What "teaching"
equipment does FinishLine Racing School use in your racing curriculum?
A: We use the following tools for teaching:
-
Racing Radios:
Students receive quality instruction via radio, allowing them to
correct mistakes as they happen - so their driving time is not wasted
time - every lap will count as a teaching tool. The radios are used
for strategy, the preferred "line", and other technical
tips.
-
Stopwatches:
We use Longacre stopwatches and record every lap with written comments
of each student's individual times - another teaching tool! We encourage
students to learn from their times - what we are striving for is
consistency - not speed - speed will come naturally
Q: Are FinishLine
Racing School cars "restricted"?
A: FinishLine Racing School does use MSD Computer chips only
as a teaching tool. (Once the student has obtained the proper training,
no limiting device is used.) These are Real Race Cars by the end of
three days, and students generally will be running competitive "Saturday
Night" racing times.

A: Estimated lap count for the 1st day: 34 laps, 2nd day:
52 laps, and 3rd day: 52 lap. Note: lap count includes warm-up and cool
down laps.
