Radford Racing School, the world’s leading driving and racing school, is delighted to announce its expansion in Chandler, Arizona, through a strategic collaboration with the Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park, located on the Gila River Indian Reservation. This partnership ensures the continuity of the park’s four permanent tracks, which will be made available to Radford students. The tracks include the 14-turn, 1.6-mile Main Track road course; the 10-turn, 1.25-mile East Track road course; the 12-turn, 1.1-mile West Track road course, featuring a 3/8-mile straightaway; and the ¼-mile NHRA-sanctioned drag strip.
Radford Racing School’s current offerings also include its recently upgraded 15-turn, 1.6-mile main track, originally designed by the esteemed champion racer Bob Bondurant in 1990. Additionally, students can enjoy the .50-mile kart track and a 10-acre skills pad. Off-track amenities have been enhanced as well, with a newly renovated guest center, track-side student lounge, gift shop, and event center, providing a comprehensive and enriching Radford Racing School experience. The school’s facilities attract drivers from around the globe, making it a go-to destination for motorsport enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Pat Velasco, the owner of Radford Racing School, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are here to stay – in a big way. Since introducing new courses, including a drag racing class with a 9-second NHRA license option, we’ve received an overwhelming response from enthusiasts, professional racers, and partners.”
With all tracks fully operational, Radford Racing School has significantly increased its capacity to accommodate more students and classes. This expansion opens up possibilities for new and exciting automotive experiences and the opportunity to host major automotive- and motorsports-related events in the region. As a result, Radford Racing School proudly claims the title of the largest driving and racing school in the world, spanning more than 447 acres.
Pat Velasco further emphasized the benefits of training at Radford Racing School, stating, “There’s a significant advantage to training at an established, long-tenured facility like Radford Racing School. Three of our instructors, who have trained some of the best in the racing business, have each just celebrated their 25th anniversary with the school. Our permanent location ensures that students can consistently expect a high-quality experience year-round. We serve as the home for drivers who return time and again to refine and perfect their skills.”
