I attended your SRT Experience on Sept 25, 2026 for a really fun day at your facility. I'm really happy that Dodge provided this experience with the purchase of my 2026 Charger Scat Pack Plus. Radford Racing School provided a wonderful day of challenging events. Radford had wonderful instructors, top notch cars and great organization. I'm glad Radford had a couple of 2026 Charger Scat Packs to race on the Auto Cross. What fun to see what your new car is all about.... at least at low speeds. The Supercharged Challengers were amazing cars and their durability is outstanding after discussing with the instructors. My wife participated in the "Hot Laps" where the instructors drive the race track and you hang on in the passenger seat. My wife asked for a spicy ride and the instructor gladly obliged . She was all giggles from that experience! If you buy a new Dodge and get this experience included you should definitely attend. Wayne S.

I did the 3 day GT Road Racing Course. It was fantastic and I will be doing a class with them in the future. I was surprised by how much in car driving was done and the class had student to instructor ratio of 3 to 1. I would estimate 5hrs of car driving per day. The first day focused on technique and handling of the car so we were on the autocross track for the morning and moved to the oval track in the afternoon. In most of the sessions, you did a group drive with the instructor to show you how it is done then you get in your car and do instructor lead follow then you do the drill on your own. The instructor normally took a turn with everyone to give them some feedback. There is lot of track time and classroom is held to minimal amount to teach you the basics and go over what you learned at the end of the day.
Response from the owner:Mark, Thank you so much for this amazing review! We cannot wait to have you back on track. We truly want to give each student an incredible experience on and off the track.

My kids are relatively new drivers, and they took the 2-day Defensive Driving course. Of course, they had a great deal of fun (how could you not?), but I also feel like they just received 5 years worth of experience in two days. Their confidence level behind the wheel has grown by leaps and bounds. But more importantly, I'm certain that their ability to avoid accidents in the future has been greatly enhanced. I think many accidents happen because people don't know how their car is going to react in a pressure situation, and they end up losing control because they've never pushed a car's limits to see what it can - and can't - do. This school will give you a very good idea of how to feel what your vehicle is doing underneath you. If my kids can steer their way around just one big accident in their lives because of what they've learned at Radford, then it's been worth every penny! Shout out to instructor Dominic, and the rest of the staff as well, for running a top notch program and providing an invaluable service to drivers. It's a shame that everyone can't participate in a school like this...
Response from the owner:Scott, we are so happy you and your sons enjoyed the time on our track! We hope to see you all again.

Radford Racing School is awesome. We got to drive Hellcat Challengers all day. The instructors were very knowledgeable, and cool. The staff was friendly. Non alcoholic drinks were served all day long and lunch was provided. The class got to drive the new SRT Charger, too. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience for me.
Response from the owner:We are so glad you had an amazing experience! We hope to see you on the track again soon.

I have attended several road and drag racing courses over the years. The Radford Dodge Demon 170 course was at the top of my list for excellence. I thought nothing could top the excellent quality instructors, an outstanding course schedule, driving Radford's Demon 170's, and completing the requirements for an NHRA competition license. Last weekend Radford sent one of their top-notch instructors, Rich Lash, to the MSHS "Mopars at the Rock" event at Rockingham Dragway in North Carolina. Rich and I had maintained contact after I took the 170 course, and we agreed to meet at the Rock. Rich agreed to "look" at my car and provide any advice. The resulting interaction was the most valuable I have received from any of the courses taken. Although Rich was meeting with any other drivers at the Rock, he came well prepared to assist past Radford 170 participants and others. He showed up with the latest power grids for the trans break. (The Demon 170 has computer set points from launch to the first 1.6 seconds) We switched from what we called the original 3(B) to a modified B grid that others used successfully attain the 9.5 second runs I was looking for. After watching two runs, Rich determined that the shift power set points needed adjustment. He next noticed that the car lifted about five hundred feet down the track. Again, Rich had the knowledge and experience to know about a transmission fluid issue that requires the addition of 55 ml of transmission fluid to a full transmission to be added thru the transmission air vent. The 170 uses specific type of transmission fluid that was not available at the track so I wrote that fix off as something that I would have to address in the future. I tested the car and the changes that Rich suggested were on point, bringing the car from an also ran to competitive. Rich then went above and beyond. He showed up the next morning with a quart of Dodge transmission fluid and the small funnel that was required to pour it down the transmission vent. He had canvassed his contacts at the race and found a quart of transmission fluid and the funnel. Once the transmission issue was addressed, I went back to the track with an amazing car that no longer dipped or lifted with no hesitation between shifts. I (and several other drivers ) were still having difficulties with the line lock and trans brake initiation process. Rich made very constructive recommendations and set up 15 minutes before racing started to give us time to process in the lane with active lights. We did not launch, just practiced with active lights. Rich watched and determined that one of my problems was related to releasing the brake pedal after the release of one of the two paddles (170 owners probably know what I'm talking about). That leaves you dead at the green light. His advice on how to avoid that problem was spot on. The thing that was amazing what that Rich provided expert counsel and advice not only for Radford participants, but for others that were having Mopar issues or questions. A number of individuals in our racing group received advice on everything from tire pressures to the fool proof method to release the foot brake after the first paddle release in the trans break process. Rich was asked and answered questions on every Dodge model that was racing. I am by no means a novice- over the years I regularly won my class in the NMCA HEMI Shootout, and participating in the Quick 8 quite often. But it was an exceptional experience to get advice on my specific car at the track during an actual competitive event. I'm not sure that anyone can remember everything during course driving a third party vehicle. But I clearly retained what I learned sitting in my own car on a race weekend. The benefit was enormous. Rich also provided advice and counsel to many other drivers at the event. The feedback from those drivers was exceptional. I want to thank Radford and Rich for extending their experience and advice beyond the course in Phoenix. The extra effort that Rich put forth is what makes racing a community.
Response from the owner:Rick, thank you so much for this incredible review!! We are very lucky to have Rich as one of our Drag Racing instructors. We are so happy he was able to help you and make the event even better.

(fka Bonderant Racing School) Whether you're planning to race professionally, are already a racecar driver, an enthusiast who wants to drive fast safely, or want better control and understanding of your car, Radford Racing is for you! Incredible instructors with decades of experience racing and teaching, who build your skills from the ground up. Not only do you walk away with a much greater understanding of driving dynamics and car control, but an incredible experience, and many hours of drive time. I would rather go to Radford than take a cruise or go to Disney. I've been twice, to take the GT Road Racing course in January and this time the Advanced Road Racing course in December. So enjoyable! So beneficial! I'm exhausted from the course, but want to go back!
Response from the owner:Thank you for this amazing review! We are so happy you spent time on our track and we hope to see you back again soon.

Response from the owner:Amazing pictures!!! We are so honored to have had your group out with us on track and being the Cone Killer can't be a bad thing 😉

Private Instruction – FAQs

Everything can be included! If you dream it, we deliver it. There is literally no box, boundary or limitation when it comes to your Private Instruction.

We have everything you need – including equipment and vehicles – to customize a program that offers exactly what you want, for the number of people you want, for the amount of time you want.

Yes. Any personal car including convertibles, trucks, and SUVs, is allowed on the track.

However, prior to driving your personal vehicle on the track it must pass our safety inspection. Our instructors and on-site mechanics will inspect the overall mechanical integrity of your vehicle, which includes tire pressure and tread, brake pads, wheel torque and fluids. Please note that if your car is leaking fluids, it will not be allowed on the track.

Your vehicle is not required to have racecar components (seat or harness, roll cage, fire extinguisher, tow hooks, kill switch, window nets, etc.) to drive on the track.

No. We are on a closed-track facility, which means drivers (including youth without a driver’s license) can participate in supervised driver training exercises. In fact, private Instruction is the perfect way to give new drivers the chance to become familiar with their vehicle, and gain confidence in various driving situations.
Some classroom time is always beneficial. However, the amount of classroom time you need depends on your objectives and skill level.

Young drivers, for example, can benefit from classroom time when they can become more familiar with driving fundamentals, as well as learn more about the track layout and etiquette.

Classroom time is also a great way for more experienced drivers to review their progress and talk candidly with the instructors about their strengths and weaknesses.

Yes. If you’re interested in specific driving techniques like car control, weight transfer, braking/acceleration, we can focus specifically on what you need. Or, if you’re interested in a specific type of driving, like drag racing, stunt driving, performance driving or off-road handling, we can accommodate them all.
The Ligier F4 race cars are available for Private Instruction. However, if you have no experience behind the wheel of an open wheel race car, your Private Instruction program will require additional training.
Yes. Our gas-powered go-karts are the perfect way to fine tune your driving and racing skills. In fact, many of the best professional Formula 1 and NASCAR drivers got their start in karting. Our fleet of go karts can be your only focus, or combined with training in our Dodge//SRT performance vehicles, or your personal vehicle.
Yes. If you would like to schedule a confidential training session with our instructors or visit to our track, we will be more than happy to accommodate your schedule and discretion.

We have trained countless high profile individuals from across the business, entertainment, and sports industries – as well as government secret operations, who just want to be trained – or have access to our track – in private.
