  • A series of hands-on-wheel exercises that test and improve your skills in a variety of driving situations.
  • Continental breakfast and lunch in the ProFormance building
  • Track time in run groups sorted by experience level

  • Goody bags and drawing

Located in Kent, WA, Pacific Raceways features a 2.5-mile track with 9 challenging turns, 125 feet of elevation change, and a beautiful naturally wooded back section. The venerable road course has featured a who’s who of international racing legends including Dan Gurney, Parnelli Jones, and Phil Hill; and regularly hosts a variety of car clubs. The team of instructors will be led by Don Kitch, Chief Instructor of ProFormance Racing School and one of the most sought-after instructors in the state.

The ProFormance Racing School building and classroom will be our home base for the day. Pacific Raceways offers fuel services ($12/gallon of racing fuel) and other track support as needed during the day. Gas stations are 5 minutes away.
