NASCAR sends wrong message with flimsy Edwards discipline
Date/Time: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:54:00 EST
There was a time when a driver would have been punished for less than what Carl Edwards did to Brad Keselowski. But this is the new NASCAR, Pete Pistone says, and it has a misguided message: Vigilante justice is the way to go.

Poll Position: Shouldn't Edwards' actions call for more than probation?
Date/Time: Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:53:00 EST

December 28, 2009 -

To All Our Friends and Customers,

Thank you for making 2009 a season to remember! We can't thank everyone enough for their attendance and support which made 2009 the busiest Performance Driving School to date.

As we look forward to 2010, we are excited to announce some changes to our food service that we hope will enhance your experience at the track.

During the 2008 and 2009 seasons, we polled our customers, both online and during event days, regarding the meals that were being supplied by the school. We were surprised to learn that the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of you would prefer foregoing these meals for a much more expanded snack and luncheon menu. As a direct result of your feedback, we have completely renovated The Wheelie Bar's kitchen facilities, the track's most popular restaurant, to offer you a greater selection and variety of affordable and delicious menu items. Once the new menu is in place, we will make it available to everyone who is interested.

The result of us discontinuing this unpopular school meal program has resulted in another positive benefit. For 2010, the rates for all school events will remain unchanged! This includes all Performance Driving School Events for 2010, including without limitation, our StreetSmarts Advanced Driving Course for Teens.

We look forward to seeing everyone in the new year! Thank you again for your continuing patronage, and from all of us at the Performance Driving School, have a safe and wonderful holiday season.

Here are Some of Your Comments!

Had a great time! I would not change a thing!

Thanks, it was a blast!

Overall a very good experience. I'll be back! Ralph Margolis, don't mind giving my name.

Great experience, enjoyed it very much. Being my first driving school type event ever, I'm not sure how it could improve... All I know is that I had a blast, drove the piss out of my car and met many great people and saw many great cars.

I had a blast. Can't wait to come back!!

Being my first time at an event like this, I did not know what to expect. However, I was very satisfied with the instructions, both classroom and on track. I had a great time and look forward to attending another event in the near future. Possibly going to rent a racecar next time.
