Full Throttle
Licensed to drive dragsters at the age of 16, Frank Hawley has spent his life driving some of the fastest machines on the planet. During the 26 years that Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School has been in operation, he has taught thousands of drivers, in a variety of classes, the fast way down the quarter mile. Frank is able to take some rather advanced psychological principles, and by using race track analogies and everyday language, teach almost anyone how to reprogram their minds to eliminate fear, anxiety, and doubt and replace it with calm, control, and confidence. This training poduces winners on the race track, in business, and in life.
