Brandon Justice has worked hard the last 2 days and his speed is proof!

Today was an awesome day at the track with Oliver!
This was his very first time ever in a race car, and from the moment he hit the track, he kept improving every single session. What impressed us the most was how smart and smooth he was behind the wheel. He listened, learned, and applied everything Hunter told him lap after lap.
Hunter joked that he wishes all his drivers listened as well as Oliver did today! 😂

Our new driver Oliver climbed into a race car for the very first time ever — no prior experience, no laps, just heart and determination. By the end of the day, he was rolling through the corners with confidence and hitting full throttle like a natural.
Watching the progress throughout the day was incredible, and we couldn’t be more proud of the effort he put in. This is exactly what the academy is all about — learning, building confidence, and helping grow the next generation of racers.
The future is bright for this young driver, and we’re excited to continue working with Oliver as his racing journey gets started. 🏁🔥

Thanks to Dad for filming the action; Brantley proved to be a surprisingly awesome young driver, Hunter wasn't sure how he'd handle the car and he showed he's got talent! Can't wait to see what he does in his bando!

Brantley totally rocked Lonesome Pine Raceway with us, this was his 1st time in a Bando. Hunter said he was a dream to coach, super smooth on the wheel, and honestly, watching him grow in confidence was faster than his speed, which is saying something! We can't wait for his 1st race to see what this speed demon does next!
