Testimonials
I would like to say thank you Patricio. My son joined the K1 Speed junior league last year and got first one time all of last year. Then he did your junior class this year in Sacramento. And wow, what a difference. My son has gone from getting third or so in qualifying and the race to dominating both. Since your class he has got the pole on 2 out of the 3 races and won all three.! I don’t know what kind of magic dust you sprinkle on these kids but its working. Keep up the good work and Dylan will be seeing you in the adult class soon.

A very, very good trading session at Addison today! You were an excellent instructor and have a wealth of experience! The class was well planned and ran perfectly. You and the staff ran a very efficient and perfectly executed program; congratulations. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. It will help me running at buffalo grove as well as auto crossing and road course racing with my classic 67 Camaro!

Thank you again for a fantastic session today. It was a lot of fun and I appreciated how clearly you articulated everything. I found the track walk and concepts about weight transfer and braking especially helpful. I lowered my previous best time by almost a full second and am excited to get back out there to practice what we learned!
– Leo
The program truly exceeded our expectations and our son enjoyed every minute of it!!
– Dave
Rehn had a great time and learned so much. That is definitely a day he will remember and learn from for years to come. It is great to see his quick improvement and attention to technical details that revolve around Karting, and racing in general.

My boys Marcus & Matt talked about their experience the entire ride home, and they’re already asking about taking the next time in Anaheim. The personalized attention and individualized instruction were a more than I expected. I would HIGHLY recommend your class to anyone!
– John
This was a fantastic experience from the very start. Patricio graciously welcomed drivers as we came in. He had a positive and cheerful attitude that added to the classroom environment. The school setup was very efficiently organized, from the welcome to the final race. I was able to drop my laptime by almost a full second! I was able to take away knowledge to further improve my time!

The three of us had a wonderful time at your facility during the Patrico Jordain class. Patrico is as talented as an instructor as he is a racer. Thanks for putting on the class.
