LevelUp Racing School heads South to Atlanta Motorsports Park and partners with Atlanta Speedwerks for Two-Day Racing School in December

ELKHART LAKE, WISCONSIN (November 9, 2017) — LevelUp Racing School is excited to announce that their next 2Day Racing School will be held at Atlanta Motorsports Park in Dawsonville, GA, on December 18 and 19. Atlanta Speedwerks will provide Mazda MX-5 racecars and at-track support for the event.

The school is meant for anyone who wants to improve their racing skills. For those who are interested in going racing with the Sports Car Club of America, this SCCA Accredited Two Day Racing School will have additional staff on site who have been racing with SCCA for many years in Mazda Spec Miata, Mazda MX-5 Cup cars and other classes. They have years of experience navigating the sometimes confusing and intimidating process and flow of an SCCA weekend from registration to spraying the champagne. They can help students choose a class of car to drive, whether to buy or lease a racecar, the best way to move a racing career forward, and answer any other questions regarding racing with SCCA or other sanctioning bodies.

Upon successful completion of the intense the two-day program, graduates may apply for their SCCA Novice Permit with the Drivers School requirement waived, and are on their way to an SCCA Full Competition License, which is honored worldwide. The cost of the school is $3450.

“A week before Christmas is a busy time for a lot of people, but it’s a great time to get ready for the 2018 racing season by getting your SCCA school out of the way before schools fill up,” said Peter Stolz, owner of LevelUp. “We’re also excited to start a new relationship with Atlanta Speedwerks who will provide the Mazda MX-5 Cup cars for the school. The cars look great and are mechanically top notch.”

“Helping racers improve their techniques to become faster has been a passion of mine since I started coaching,” said Todd Lamb, owner of Atlanta Speedwerks. “Our company was born from that passion and we’re very excited to enter into this venture along with our partner, Winding Road, who will also be providing at-track support at future LevelUp events at locations to be announced soon. I learned my racing skills from the very same instructors that are part of the LevelUp Racing School, so being part of this new school is a bit of a homecoming for me.”

For those who have always dreamed of being a racecar driver, want to become a better racecar driver, want to be a better track-day driver, or learn how to heel-and-toe, double-clutch downshift, it all starts with some of the industry’s best instructors at LevelUp Racing School.

Inaugural Racing School Completed at Black Hawk Farms Raceway

August 9, 2017

LevelUp Racing School completed their inaugural race school event, at Blackhawk Farms Raceway, in South Beloit, IL on August 8th & 9th, 2017. Here are some thoughts from the Owner and Instructors:

Pete Stolz:
“It was so much fun to see this program come together and be such a success. All of us have worked for Skip Barber for decades and it was really sad for us to see it go away. Using the best instructors Skip Barber had to offer, top-quality race cars from Advanced Autosports, and first-rate facilities like Blackhawk Farms all make it an easy decision to come LevelUp Racing School.”

Steve DeBrecht:
“Tapping into the expertise of his instructor pool to craft a concise timeline and effective curriculum while relying on the vast experience of Advanced Autosports to provide the solid  equipment just makes too much sense!  I am enthused to see what the future brings and look forward to being a part of the success that awaits.”

Jim Pace:
“The amount of instructor experience represented in the Level Up Racing School combined with hours of on  track training created the perfect environment for the student of racing.”

Keith Watts:
“Level Up racing has the ability to teach a driver how to be safe, predictable and how to win.”

LevelUp Racing School adds data lapping day to schedule August 10

Renown driving instructor Terry Earwood joins staff

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 19, 2017

ELKHART LAKE, WISCONSIN (July 19, 2017) — LevelUp Racing School is adding a Data Lapping Day to its curriculum, offering students a unique opportunity to test like the pros. The first Data Lapping Day will be held August 10 at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit, Illinois, immediately following the Two-Day Racing School.

The August 10 Data Lapping day will offer students more than two hours of track time and access to sophisticated AIM vehicle data and coaching by school staff. Drivers will enjoy four, 30-minute on-track sessions in a professionally prepared Spec Miata race car, followed by feedback sessions to analyze performance and interpret data from on-board systems.

The Data Lapping day is designed to provide students with invaluable skills that will help them get the most out of their track time, and mimics the experience of a professional driver at a pre-race test. A two-to-one student-teacher ratio ensures ample individual attention and personal feedback.

Drivers wishing to accelerate their development may also choose to purchase a one-on-one Lead/Follow session with a veteran instructor. These private sessions allow instructors to evaluate many aspects of performance in real time and deliver quick results: many people shave seconds off of their best time with the help of just one of these sessions.

Pricing is just $1,850 for the August 10 Data Lapping Day, and participants from the Two-Day school get a $100 discount. Lead/follow sessions are $1,250 each. Space is limited.

Among the newest instructors to join LevelUp Racing School is Terry Earwood.  Earwood is a veteran motorsport professional who started instructing in the 1970s and has taught more than 30,000 students over the course of his career. He was the Chief Instructor for Skip Barber Racing School from 1984 until 2017.
