David Siegel, Class of 2003

"I am living proof that the Driving School is the perfect introduction into the world of driving, and lays a foundation for success. I am 'Class of 2003', and was named Amateur Driver of the Year in 2007. The school is what converted a general interest into an avocation which I am passionate about. In two words: It works!"

John Regina, Class of 2002

“I’m having a lot of fun, but I couldn’t have gotten to enjoy the sport to the same degree if not for the Driving School. I could have done it without the school, but I wouldn’t recommend it. I wanted to do it the right way and the school was an enriching experience. Plus, you get to spend three days with people that have the same interest and talk about racing. I’ve stayed in contact with a lot of people from the school; it’s a great network.”

Danielle Berger, Class of 2005

“These are people you know are successful and look up to, and you learn that at one point they were where we’re starting at. After going to the school, it gave me more confidence to try things. They make it fun; it’s not intimidating at all. You feel free to speak up and ask questions. Everything is put in laymen’s terms that you can understand. The school became the cornerstone of what I do, along with the ‘Care & Training of the Trotter & Pacer,’ which is my bible. You take what you know and apply it; if it doesn’t work, you make adjustments and try again.”

Bill Varney, Class of 2001

“I thought the school was great; I really got a lot out of it. I was really green. I thought they were real good and talked so anyone could understand them. There are times still today when I drive that I think about what one of them might have said.”

Sonya Barber, Class of 2006

“I went to the Driving School and really liked it and decided I wanted to try racing. It was super. I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to try it before I went to the school, but afterward I felt I had a better education and knew what I wanted to do and had some instruction. The amateur drivers’ part was particularly helpful; when someone explains what happens, it’s much better.”
