What happens if I crash the race car?

Students are financially responsible for all damage to the race car, if crashed while the driver is driving. Crash damage insurance can be purchased for $50 with a $1500.00 deductible. 

The insurance is not included in the price of the class. You may purchase it at the time of sign in on the day of the class or through the store website ahead of time.

What should I wear?

We recommend that you wear something comfortable and not bluky so that your driving suit can go over the clothes you are wearing. Jeans, shorts and t-shirts are ideal for comfort.

If I need to cancel can I get a refund?

There are NO REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON once you have booked your spot in a class. If you need to reschedule that can be done 14 days or more in advance of your class date at no charge. If you need to reschedule under the 14 days there is a 10% rescheduling fee of the price you paid for your class.

If a class is cancelled by Cory Kruseman's Sprint Car & Midget Driving School due to weather or changes out of our control you will be rescheduled for a future date. 

For students traveling long distances we strongly suggest booking refundable or flexible travel arrangements with the airlines or hotels. Cory Kruseman's Sprint Car Driving & Midget School is not responsible for costs lost for travel accommodations in the event of a cancellation.
