From Scott Daloisio
(OCTOBER 31, 2009, PERRIS, CA) On Sunday, November 8th, one day after the conclusion of the 14th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals at Perris Auto Speedway, anyone who has wondered what it is like to drive a full size Sprint Car on a real racetrack can fulfill their dream at the Cory Kruseman Sprint Car Driving School. The school will be held on the famous half-mile clay Oval that will have played host to the top Sprint Car stars in the nation the night before.
If you want to learn how to drive a Sprint Car, why not learn from one of the best? Cory Kruseman’s credentials are second to none and anyone who signs up can be sure they are learning from one of the greatest drivers in the modern era of Sprint Car Racing. In the last ten years, Kruseman has won two Oval Nationals Championships, two Chili Bowl Midget Nationals, two Indiana Sprint Week Championships, the 2006 USAC/CRA Championship, 2000 SCRA Championship, 1999 Non Wing World Championship and countless main events across the land.
Courses start put at just $450.00 and that will get you two on track sessions and approximately 25 laps. It makes a great present for any occasion.
