    I have done track days with all of the major outfits and have found Hooked on Driving to be the…read morebest. David Ray and his staff and coaches seem to have an almost fanatical focus on their customers (me and the other drivers who come to the track days) and making sure we have a great experience. They have in-car coaches any time I want one (unlike the other outfits). They have fewer cars on the track in each of the run groups (unlike the other outfits). I LOVE the emphasis they put on having fun and being safe - they repeat it all the time and they seem to really mean it. Every time I come home from a HOD track day I'm happy and exhilarated. A couple of other things - it's fun and very interesting and informative to socialize with the staff and the other customers about cars and driving. You learn A LOT every time you go out with HOD. Helpful resources always seem to be available if you need them - whenever I want to talk to a coach or David about my car or the track or driving or whatever, they spend the time it takes to get you what you want to know. I think therefore, that HOD provides the most fun and the best learning opportunity available. If you are focused on improving your high-performance driving skills and abilities - in my opinion, this is the best outfit to help you do it. And if you just want to drive and not take advantage of any of these other things, you can do that too. I love being able to go out with these guys and gals in a safe environment and drive as fast as I want to and not get a speeding ticket!

    I have been to 8 track days with H.O.D. I have had a lot of fun every time I go out on track, the…read morestaff is super friendly and helpful. However, 3 out of the last 5 events that I have signed up for have been postponed or canceled, sometimes less than a week before the event. It is getting to the point where I have very little confidence that I will actually get seat time when I sign up with H.O.D. I'm not sure if it is just the Texas region or if this happens everywhere but it has caused me some frustration, especially when I organize the trip with a few other people and I have to cancel on them a few times in a row.

Went above and beyond to help us every step of the way. She even had a candle and lighter when we forgot ours, I can't say enough about her, she was amazing! All employees there were quick to help us and made sure everyone was safe! The kids didn't want to leave and we will definitely be coming back again.

    Review #860 Posted on 2.22.25…read more We came here with the kids on Saturday the 22nd to unwind a bit. We chose Funworks because they let you ride solo even if you're under 58 inches tall, just at a slower speed. That one feature in of itself separates this spot from the others, they trust the kids to drive the karts, and the kids have a blast doing so, they just limit how fast they can go in them, it's brilliant business model to be honest. This spot is a few miles from the freeway, super easy to get to. Beyond the go kart racing, they have tons of other options. There's miniature golf, bumper cars, batting cages, arcade games, and a small snack bar/food court. There's also plenty of separate spaces in that area for kids birthday parties too. The golf course was kept up pretty well we noticed. We'll for sure come back, and do the activities they offer again. They have different packages you can buy. I recommend the 12 ticket pack for $80, best bang for your buck.

    I booked a series of at-home sessions with SSi to prepare for Ferrari's Corso Pilota Sport driving…read moreschool at Sonoma Raceway. Jason was my instructor and he was outstanding. His teaching progression was methodical and perfectly paced: we started with racing lines at slower speeds, then layered in braking technique, corner entry discipline, slide awareness and recovery, trail braking, and manual shifting. Each session built on the last, and he never introduced complexity before the foundation was solid. Over the course of my sessions, my best lap time at Sonoma went from over 3 minutes to 1:47.5 in a simulated 488 GTB with manual shifting. More importantly, I went from not understanding how to read a track to consistently flowing curb to curb, managing traction through elevation changes, and feeling confident at the car's limits. Jason also brought in tools like ghost cars and telemetry overlays to help me find time I didn't know I was leaving on the table. The at-home setup was convenient and the sim hardware is excellent. Deanna was responsive and easy to work with on scheduling. If you're preparing for a track day, driving school, or just want to build real driving skill in a low-risk environment, I'd highly recommend SSi and Jason specifically. Worth every dollar.

    I was researching for go karting teams around the Bay Area and SSi was mentioned several times so I…read moredecided to give them a try. The team is a family run operation with Jason being the head coach (also a semi-pro racer) and Maria handling all the logistics. I booked an arrive & drive session for their 100cc kart at Sonoma Raceway and the entire experience far exceeded my expectations. The kart was in immaculate condition and fine tuned specifically to my build; I met with them a week in advance to do measurements to ensure proper fitment, which was a first for me. Jason and his crew were giving me solid advice throughout the day, answered all my questions, and even gave in-depth guidance on taking the next steps with purchasing my own kart. You can absolutely see the care and passion they have for this sport and how they want to help you progress into a better driver. Although their main focus is driver development through SIM training, they are truly devoted to helping you grow as a driver and ensure you have a fun time.
