Every part of my experience was stellar - from my conversations with the administrative staff before even signing up to the last moments on the track with the smell of burning rubber which had become oh-so-sweet to me. The background of the students can vary from no experience in stunts (me) to professionally working stuntpeople (some of my classmates), but the instructors explain and show what you'll be doing so that everyone understands. Their feedback is tailored for where you are while coaxing the best out of you, and if it's taking longer to click, they will patiently work with you until it does, never expressing frustration (even if you do) and reminding you to have fun. It's apparent, the passion for what they do as well as the expertise that comes only from thousands of hours of studying and practicing a skill, and they are generous with their hard-earned knowledge. The value of the cost of the course is a no-brainer. It makes sense because of the cost of materials alone (e.g., blown tires, serious wear and tire on the cars, fuel, track time, insurance), but the real value (nay, steal) is in what they share and how they share it, because it empowers you to create these unforgettable experiences that will far outlast however long it would've taken you to spend those few thousand dollars. Aside from their skill, it's just refreshing to be around a group of good people. I am really, really looking forward to returning for Level 2.

I had to slam on the brakes all the way down from the speed limit which is 45mph down to 15!!!! Do your instructors not instruct your student drivers to NOT pull into traffic before right of way oncoming traffic has cleared and to just blast through stop signs? I had everything recorded from my dash cam with time stamp and precise location and has already been uploaded immediately. What are y'all exactly instructing your student drivers on because from I just experienced ya'll have no regard for anyone else's safety and pose a significant danger for others on the road! Instructor should've used his set of pedals to stop vehicle before going into the path of another oncoming vehicle that had the right of way. Very disappointed. I wouldn't bring ANYONE to be a student driver here.

I had a great experience doing the "Advanced Lapping" Day on the Streets of Willow track. I say "Advanced Lapping" day, because I have been through the other courses offered at Fast Lane and obviously keep returning. I have been to other Racing Schools this year and I have to say 3 things that really make your school stand out as being a superior school. 1) Track Time: What a great amount of time spent on the track. I can't tell you how pleased I was with your track time management. We as customers want to drive and learn from hands on experience, so we need to be on the track and not tied up in a classroom for hours. 2) Instructors: Your instructors were pleasant and offered up detailed instruction in order to improve as a driver and decrease lap times with accurate feedback. 3) Follow up: Most schools never follow up after finishing the program. I love the fact you take pictures and post them. I love the fact that you send a follow up email thanking us for our participation. These are so important. Thanks again :)

But for the bucks this is a darn good choice. Definitely do the two day school - if you don't you'll miss out on Big Willow, which is a lot of fun.

Drifting is one of those things that I've always loved to watch, but never thought I'd have the…read moreopportunity to try myself. Here we are, almost 40 years old, and I decided to live out some childhood dreams (now that I have the time, money, and means to)! I chose Drift 101 because I know Naoki is one of the frontrunners for the west-coast drifting scene. I bought a full-day lesson for myself for my birthday and had my husband come along. There were 2 instructors to 2 students, we were both in 240SXs and basically took turns back to back doing drills throughout the day, with breaks in between to cool off (it was HOT, pro-tip, don't go in the summer, pick a cooler month), ask questions, and talk about the next drill/exercise. Having had ZERO drift or manual car experience, the instructors (Naoki and Ruben) were incredible - they catered the instruction to best help out my overthinking brain, and I was starting to see some things click. I think I did have to curb my expectations some, because I think I expected myself to be drifting at full speed around a track, but my skill level was definitely not there yet, and they're not going to move you to an advanced skill without a good grasp of the foundations. For me, it was a focus on left/ride slides, transitioning/linking them together, and donuts. I struggled with linking a slide into a donut, but Ruben and Naoki were constantly there giving me pointers and things to focus on for each 'lap.' I definitely recommend and have plans to go again and build upon my skills. It was a great, safe, no-pressure environment perfect for any skill level or level of enthusiasm.
