  • Frank Hawley’S Drag Racing School Continues the Evolution – Plans for Stop at “The Strip” in Las Vegas
    11223 N. CR 225 Gainesville, FL 32609 Phone - 866-480-7223 Fax - 352-336-8041 www.frankhawley.com Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School Continues the Evolution – Plans for Stop at “The Strip” in Las Vegas July 29, 2008 - Gainesville, FL - With twenty-three years and over fifteen thousand graduates, it's no wonder when drivers and team owners are looking for top notch training, they look to Frank Hawley's Drag Racing School. Many things have changed and evolved in the drag racing world over the last two decades and the curriculum available at the school is no different. School owner and instructor Frank Hawley briefly explains the journey the school has taken since its inception. "When we first started, I knew how to drive cars, didn't know why anyone else didn't. Basically said 'here's what you do, go.' I didn't know why people couldn't drive. I didn't understand anything about people." Over the course of the next several years, Hawley became intrigued by not only all of the different facets that make a person an individual, but also those that everyone shares as a human being. No matter what age, race or sex. "I started to take more of an interest in people and found them to be quite fascinating creatures. I started to study a little about physiology, psychology and some other medical stuff. As I learned more, I would bring these things back into the classroom to see if I could not just educate these folks but help them do a little bit better job when they left the school." Frank adds, "So, yes, I think the classes have changed a lot since we first started and we're not stopping yet." Some of the many changes that Hawley is referring to for the school are not related to what takes place during the classes, but where they take place.
