Going to Frank Hawley's drag racing school

I've had enough of this NJ winter so I've decided to spend few days in Florida. While I'm down there, I thought it'd be a good idea to make a couple of passes. So I signed up at Frank Hawley's drag racing school for their Super Gas class. I'll be driving a 700 hp Firebird (my Z puts down over 300 more hp ). I hope to make enough 9 second passes to get my NHRA comp license. This is gonna be a blast!

Sounds like you are going to have a Blast

I bet you find that your Z is still easier to drive

I can't believe how much easier it is to drive the Z down the 1/4 then it was are F-body

That sounds like a blast. What's something like that cost if you don't mind me asking?

I took the course last year. It is well worth the money.

I've been speaking to Paul and he's a super nice guy. He even lowered my tuition a bit to fill the February class.

Damn, Paul...if I didn't have all this business travel committed already for February I'd probably be down there with you. That is going to one hell of a time.

Any info you can pass on in regards to the class would be greatly appreciated. Have a good time while you're down there and show that car who's the boss
