Radford Racing School
Our school is the largest purpose-built driver training facility of its kind in North America. At the heart of the 450-acre racing facility is our 1.6-mile, 15-turn track, along with 3 additional road courses and a NHRA drag strip. As the Official High Performance Driving School of Dodge//SRT, we maintain over 100 performance vehicles, sedans and SUVs.
In addition to our fleet of performance-engineered Dodge//SRT vehicles, we also offer the thrill of open wheel racing in our state-of-the art Ligier JS F4 single-seater.
For those seeking open-air racing excitement on a smaller – but just as thrilling scale – indulge in our gas-powered karting program during your next private party or corporate event!

Our comment from DrivingSchools.Directory about Radford Racing School:
A World-Class Racing Heritage in Arizona
Radford Racing School stands as a premier destination for motorsport enthusiasts, serving as the official driving school for Dodge SRT. Located in Chandler, Arizona, the school boasts a massive 450+ acre campus that combines a dedicated event center with karting, autocross, and professional track driving. The facility features a 1.6-mile track with 15 challenging corners, providing an exhilarating environment for students to test their skills in high-performance vehicles, including a full range of Dodge SRT models.
Expert Instruction with Decades of Experience
The school’s greatest asset is its team of professional instructors, many of whom have been with the organization for decades. Their expertise is not limited to civilian training; the staff possesses specialized experience in training high-risk security, law enforcement organizations, the U.S. Special Operations, the U.S. Marshal Service, and the FBI. This depth of knowledge ensures that students receive top-tier coaching that is both safe and highly effective.
Comprehensive Programs for Every Driver
Radford offers a diverse array of courses tailored to different skill levels and interests. The curriculum is designed to transform students into faster, more accomplished drivers, with options that include:
- High-Performance Driving School (HPD): Available in 1, 2, and 3-day formats, focusing on car control, braking, and cornering techniques.
- GT Road Racing & Grand Prix Courses: Intensive 3 or 4-day programs that teach essential track-driving skills and help students earn an SCCA racing license.
- Teen Driving Programs: Specialized courses for young drivers to build confidence and defensive driving skills.
- SRT Experiences: Exclusive events for Dodge owners to learn the limits of their vehicles, including drag racing and track days.
- Throttle Therapy: Fun group events and corporate team-building activities.
Hands-On Learning and Real-World Application
Alumni consistently praise the school’s methodology, which emphasizes practical application over theory. Students report significant amounts of "seat time," with instructors providing real-time feedback to correct techniques in braking, acceleration, and skid control. The low student-to-instructor ratio ensures personalized attention, allowing participants to improve rapidly. Many reviews highlight that the skills learned are not just for the track but are directly applicable to everyday driving, enhancing safety and situational awareness.
An Unforgettable Experience
Beyond the technical instruction, Radford Racing School is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and exceptional facilities. Students frequently mention the friendly staff, well-maintained vehicles, and the sheer joy of driving powerful cars in a controlled environment. Whether for a birthday gift, a family bonding activity, or serious racing preparation, the school delivers an experience that participants describe as life-changing and highly rewarding.

Fantastic experience: They teach you so many things that will happen in the real world it was amazing. The instructors were the best and so nice. I would love to come back just to learn and for the experience.
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love going here. This is my second time doing the Throttle Therepy program. This would be an awesome team-building program for some company with deep pockets. The cost is $499 per person. Group rate for a company? Give em a call.
Fantastic experience: I just took the 3 day high performance school. I have to say I had an amazing time. Thx Spencer and BJ for all your help. I was such an improved driver by the 3rd day and was able to attack the track with the new skill set. Thank you Radford and staff for a great life changing experience!

Fantastic experience: This educational institution, its staff, and its overall ambiance were nothing short of exceptional. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned professional, they are prepared to provide guidance and instruction tailored to your specific needs. Even if you have no prior experience, they can guide you through every step of the process. I am confident that I will return in the future. One of the best experiences I have ever had.
