Irwindale, CA (PRWEB) October 26, 2005 -- Southern California racing enthusiasts and thrill seekers alike can now experience the awesome adrenalin rush of driving an actual NASCAR stock car at legendary Irwindale Speedway. Jim Cohan, the proud new owner of “Performance Race Training Center,” and Hugh Schenkel, V.P. of Operations, have made the dream of driving an actual full sized race car a reality for anyone with a “need for speed”.

With the popularity of NASCAR sweeping west, Mr. Cohan saw the opportunity to help enrich the local fan's experience.

America's fastest growing and most popular sport has thus far been purely a spectator event. Performance Race Training Center at Irwindale Speedway, considered by most to be "the best short track in America", now brings year-round racing adventures to Southern California’s racing enthusiasts.

The Performance Race Training Center, located where the 210 & 605 freeways meet, gives local residents, regardless of their skill level, a chance to personally participate in the full throttle spectacle of NASCAR stock car racing at the fastest speed possible for their particular comfort and ability. Programs begin with classroom instruction, where drivers learn the numerous “ins & outs” of stock car driving.

Racing packages range from 10 to 40 laps. For those not quite ready to put the “pedal to the metal,” themselves, they offer “Super Rides.” This is a “ride along” racing opportunity as a passenger in a stock car driven by one of the center’s professional drivers. This allows all fans the chance to get right out there into the middle of it, while ensuring safety and security all the way to the finish line.

The biggest news for local race fans is Performance Race Training Center now offers test drives for those who have really caught “The Fever,” and desire extended episodes of exhilarating excitement. For the truly serious hobbyist and racing fanatic, cars are actually available for purchase, and at prices that are comparable to what it costs to own a decent, mid-sized boat. Both, the much sought after “Bandolero” (for junior drivers aged 8 to14) and the world famous “Legend” (for drivers aged 14+), are ready and available for those who would love nothing more than to own their very own race car. This means many “holiday wish-list” fantasies might actually be fulfilled around the southland this year.

The goal is to bring the excitement of NASCAR stock car racing to the local fan, as well as to cooperatively partner with local communities and businesses in the Southern California area. The Performance Race Training Center is already participating in numerous charity events and fundraisers, as well as organizing upcoming events at the track, such as a “Salute to the Military” to honor our Military and their families.

From professional training to all the necessary gear, it’s all here for your personal, family or organization’s (corporate / team events and parties) racing experience. “Race Passes” and official NASCAR merchandise collectibles, such as jackets, hoods and t-shirts, etc., are available and make unforgettable gifts. Open year-round, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, call “Toll Free,” (877) 901-RACE for further information and to book reservations, or see their website at www.RaceTrainingCenter.com
