WHY RACE CAMP ACADEMY

Race Camp Academy is built to be a fun and learning experience for all levels of race fans including

  • Hard Core race fans
  • Teens working towards a career in motorsports
  • Teens looking for a fun summertime experience
  • Anyone who has watched motorsports on TV and wondered what it would be like to be part of the action

We have seen a decline in the number of youths and experienced help in the world of Dirt Late Model in the recent years. This comes from a variety of factors that include modern cars that are mostly computer operated and built to be worked on at the dealership instead of their owners. This has created a gap where kids today have never experienced working on cars. It can also come from factors such as more completion for entertainment. We have noticed that when some kids do want to help work on race cars that they are often turned down by local racers, the reason being that they need a team that already knows how to work on the cars and cant afford to teach and race at the same time. In 10-15 years we will see it start to impact every business in our sport. We needed an outlet to let kids learn racing and give them a chance to fall in love with it.
