Cory Kruseman Sprint Car & Midget Driving School

Instructor‑led programs run at Ventura Raceway offering seat time in 360 non‑wing sprint cars and Ford Focus midgets across skill levels from Basic to 2‑Day Advanced. Classes include brief classroom instruction, multiple on‑track runs with an instructor, and an “Arrive & Drive” option where cars are provided.

Classes require pre‑registration and follow a published schedule (dates vary by season); vehicles are spec‑listed on the site (ASCS 360 non‑wing and Focus midget) and there are published height/weight limits and top speed estimates for each car type.

You’ll spend classroom time learning basics, then get guided seat time in purpose‑built race cars with a professional instructor beside you.
