Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School – Super Class Promo Video HD
Right to the limit of performance…
The Super Class course is the most popular program at Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School for both experienced and beginning drivers. Compared to these super class cars the fastest and most powerful passenger car on the market is like driving a baby stroller. Even if you can handle a Viper or turbo Porsche, your first run in this dragster will be absolutely astonishing.
Unless you have catapulted off an aircraft carrier or blasted off in the space shuttle, nothing in your previous life will have prepared you for the experience. But your training at Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School will let you keep complete control of yourself and the car — right to the limit of performance.
These two day courses include classroom instruction, progressively faster runs down the strip and video review of your runs. Those new to drag racing will learn basic techniques and procedures.
Experienced racers will master the mental challenges that separate winners from losers. Age, size and gender are immaterial: the race car puts everyone on an equal footing. The winning difference is your ability to control yourself in a challenging environment.
If you have experience on the quarter mile, you’ll be blown away by the amount of knowledge you’ll gain through this program. You’ll increase your skills and gain confidence at handling these lightning quick machines. You’ll learn how your mind and body work and how to train yourself to think, act and perform like a champion.
This course keeps a steady pace with plenty of action on and off the track. Earn your NHRA Competition Driver’s License. The privilege to race these dragsters at NHRA race tracks across the country is limited to those holding a valid NHRA competition driver’s license. Our course can provide you with this valued license.
* No previous racing experience required.

Jungle Jim and Jungle Pam – Drag Racing Legends
Years before John Force arrived on the scene, drag racing’s original flamboyant showman was “Jungle Jim” Liberman; a larger-than-life individual whose flaming burnouts, glib personality, and boundless energy helped endear him to fans in a manner that eluded other drivers with better winning records.
Liberman was much more than a touring professional; with his wild wheelstands, 100-mph backups from burnouts, stubborn refusal to lift on even the most out-of-shape runs, and his curvaceous companion, “Jungle Pam” Hardy, Liberman provided all the entertainment of a traveling circus.
Liberman’s life, like the lives of many fast-living icons of youth such as James Dean, Jim Morrison, and Janis Joplin, was as short as it was fast-paced. He died at the age of 32 after suffering fatal injuries in a head-on collision with a bus on Sept. 9, 1977. His premature passing left a void in the sport that wasn’t replaced until Force’s explosive personality emerged in the late 1980s.
Today, the legend of “Jungle Jim” lives on with “Jungle Pam,” his constant companion in his heyday who titillated race fans with her skimpy outfits and provocative on-track actions.
“At every race track that I go to,” said Hardy, “everyone comes up and asks for my autograph. They ask what he was like and if he was as crazy as they’ve heard. The fans really miss him, and they miss the fun part of drag racing. The sport has become so professional now that there’s no room for any of that anymore.”
“I was just 18 when I met him. I was still attending high school in West Chester, Pa., and had never been further away from home than the next town over. I was walking down the street one day, and here comes this yellow Corvette speeding down the street. This guy walks out, comes up to me, and says, “Hi, I’m Jim.”
I had never been to a drag race before, but the next thing I knew, we we’re heading for his match race in Xenia, Ohio. He showed me how to back him up after the burnouts, and from then on, my life was just a whirlwind tour all over the country.”
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song “American Girl” was released in 1977, the same year Jungle Jim passed away.
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn’t help thinkin that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin’ she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin’ in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it’s so painful
Something that’s so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
