Roy Hill’s Drag Racing School is in Session April 1-2 at zMax Dragway
SOPHIA, NC – Roy Hill’s Drag Racing School is back in action April 1-2 at zMax Dragway.
At Roy Hill’s the training is intense and serious, but accommodates the speed and skill level of each individual student. At this safety-conscious school, students learn about the equipment prior to hitting the track. They then learn how to overcome intimidation produced by the speed and power of the cars, and their skills are built as confidence increases.
Graduates depart with their self-esteem at an all-time high. The lessons and confidence gained from driving under the watchful eye of Roy Hill are applicable in any of life’s subsequent ventures. Upon completion of the school, students receive ET slips and a license form listing their successfully completed runs, which can then be sent to NHRA to obtain a license if all requirements are met.
