Testimonials!

"Robbie, Thanks for all the help.  The Driving School was Great.  What a hoot!  I have noticed that I drive differently (better) after having learned things I knew or thought I knew, under the extreme conditions of the Talladega Track.  I learned how to drive on ice growing up in Nebraska, but I haven't applied those principals in every day driving until now.  I'm a better and safer driver now, and the best part is that it was great fun too!
~Michael R. Einspahr, Atlanta Georgia

"it was well organized, and each group (A,B,C) had an instructor in the car until the driver was "released" to drive alone.  Hot lunch was provided, as was some classroom instruction.  I would say that the drivers, especially new to road racing, learned more with this method than track days done at RA by Panoz - no comparison.."

Words alone cannot express our gratitude to Barvarian Imports, Robbie Padgett and his outstanding team of driving instructors.  I, along with my wife, recently had the opportunity to experience a day’s activities at RPM Driving School with Robbie and his team.

Robbie is a master at organizing and directing an event of this caliber. Classroom academics were very fundamental in understanding all aspects of the day’s driving experience.  Course layout, preferred track lines, apex negotiation, driver rules and courtesies were thoroughly covered. Over and under-steer, skid and spin control were all part of the curriculum prior to moving onto the track for the remainder of the day.  One-on-one SCCA certified instruction was provided during the first phase of track time. This is where I learned the true limits of my vehicle, as well as those of myself (or lack thereof)! Driver instruction was awesome, in as much as I was shown new techniques and limitations, that street driving alone could have never safely presented.  After drivers were released by their instructors within their given classes, Robbie opened the track for the remainder of the day for lap time.

Special thanks go to Master Chef Carl Stephens who served a great lunch to all who participated.

In retrospect, this track event granted more knowledge gleaned, skills acquired and lessons learned than any of my previous experiences; to include events at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Road Atlanta. It was also an exceptional bargain for the value of the day-long experience.

I would urge everyone who owns a sports car to take the challenge, which Robbie and his team can provide, at the Talladega Grand Prix raceway in Anderson, Alabama.  We feel that after having done this, both my wife and I are safer, more confident drivers and now have a true respect for our own limitations as well as the capabilities of our Corvette.

Thanks to all for a wonderful experience,
