TESTIMONIALS

[RaceCraft1 Chief Instructor] Kelly Jones. To the Novice group, you are larger than life.  It’s truly astonishing that someone of your credentials, accomplishments, and reputation in the Motorsport world is willing to use his weekends providing encouragement and instruction to a group of novice drivers, some of whom literally have no idea what an apex is.  But here’s the thing about Kelly that any novice that has asked him a question will tell you.  No matter how small, misdirected and inarticulate the question was in retrospect, the question and driver were treated with the utmost respect and the feeling the novice walked away with is that the answer to that question was formulated with the same care as if the question was coming from an F16 pilot asking about the approach to a bombing run.  The ultimate professional, meeting us at whatever level we are currently at.  The richness added to our experience when we take our cars home, turn on the television and watch the top echelon drivers in Indy Car and NASCAR, knowing that the same coach that was willing to treat us with so much respect and kindness also had a big part in the development of many of those drivers.  That’s worth the price of admission in itself and the Novice group can’t thank Kelly enough for giving of his time.

"As a driving enthusiast, I was looking for a cost-effective way to become a better driver. I track my car and I have learned that without proper instruction you really won’t get any faster or better by just doing more laps. If you want to be a better driver, you need quality training. RaceCraft1 really helped me. It is a cost-effective way to learn proper car handling on a very realistic simulator. The same way pilots have been doing it for decades. Various driving exercises that can be paused, broken down as they happen is very helpful. There’s also hard data with graphs and charts which can be looked at so you can see how you are driving and what the car is actually doing. In a few short lessons, I have improved my driving skills dramatically. And it’s a blast. Kelly is an excellent instructor with a ton of driving experience so if you’re looking for a sure-fire cost-effective way to improve your driving skills in ways you didn’t think possible, check these guys out. You won’t be sorry."

"The primary driving skills I wanted to work on with RaceCraft1 were car control, acceleration through turns with better entry and exit, brake onset, duration and release, and better track management. All were addressed in an organized and detailed outline while learning through the sim experience my weaknesses and corrections. I chose RaceCraft1 because the instructors (Kelly for one) are typically at the 10/10ths Motorsports events we join for track days. I started in the Novice group and knew he was a great instructor. I have been ready to learn more and advance my skills, and I decided RaceCraft1 was a great fit. With RaceCraft1 instructor lessons and using the sim experience, I was able to apply the learnings, make mistakes, and learn more about car control and handling, becoming faster with more car control on the track. The outcome was knocking 10 seconds off my lap time and a greater confidence and skill level for upcoming track events. This will impact not only my track driving but also my daily driving. Knowing how to handle the car in a variety of situations and at speeds I typically drive, [I am] becoming not only a faster driver for track events, but also a safer driver on the streets."

"[RaceCraft1 Chief Instructor] Kelly Jones exemplifies the consummate professional, student of his craft, and trusted advisor. We met Kelly ~5 years ago, when my son, then age 9, was seeking additional coaching for his Sprint Kart Racing. 5 years later, Kelly has been a trusted partner and mentor to my son, Christian ever since. Kelly was instrumental in helping Christian build racecraft and driving skills in his state-of-the-art simulator facility, RaceCraft1. Not only has Kelly helped with driving skill, but knew the right approach to work with a 9-, 10-, 11-, 12-year-old who dreams of pursuing professional racing. Additionally, Kelly has supported our races by being trackside at all of our yearly races in Indiana and shares information & collaborates with Christian's local racing coach. In closing, he has helped us navigate the motorsports space, as Christian has now ventured into open wheel car instruction. We are delighted to recommend Kelly as a trusted advisor and mentor to any up-and-coming racer."

"[Chief Instructor] Kelly Jones and his team are fantastic. Last summer I started HPDE events as a novice. I met Kelly when he was instructing at Putnam Park with 10/10ths Motorsports. I quickly learned how respected he was with all the drivers and learned that he is one of the best in the industry. I engaged RaceCraft1 to accelerate my knowledge and skills. The facility is amazing with state-of-the-art simulators that translate to real skills. I learned more than expected, including several car control techniques, proper accelerating, braking techniques, reading the track, proper cornering techniques, and so much more. Capping off the training with actual in-car instruction this spring resulted in rapid progress and significantly reduced lap times. What a great experience! Getting the most out of yourself and your car on track is exhilarating and brings you a tremendous amount of fun. Thank you, Kelly and team, for all your instruction, professionalism and fun!"
