Brainerd International Raceway

I participated in the Performance Driving School on Sept 27th. I was very nervous after reading another review by 'John' and hearing of his experience. I was very surprised to find my day to be entirely different from his. There were 87 drivers on the 27th, and I had ZERO issues getting as many laps in as I wanted, ZERO issues with instructors not being available, and ZERO issues with equipment. I put in well over 100 miles on the 2.5 mile track and burned through my half used up brake pads. The next day my arms/shoulders were sore and my thumbs has blisters on them from the steering wheel. I don't think my car or myself could have lasted any longer. I had all the input I could ask for from the instructors and even from Gary Curtis, the director of the program. (All very very nice and friendly)

I don't know what happened to spark the bad review, but let me assure you that his experience is not common. I talked with some serious road racers that go to almost every PDS session throughout the summer and they never had an experience like in the 1 star review either.

I would highly recommended this and I will be going again for sure this next season, even if I have to pay full price (had 1/2 off coupon). It is more than worth what they charge for this!
