Planning your trip
Where is the training located?
All courses are run from the Wild West Motorsports Park. This motorsports facility is located 5 miles east of Sparks, NV, just north of Interstate 80 at the Mustang exit. (Exit #23) It is a first class complex that is part of the Lucas Oil Racing short course circut and provides us with our home base of training. Additionally, we have access to hundreds of miles of training routes right from the motorports park. No other driving school competitor can offer what this complex and surrounding desert areas can provide. Check out their website link below for more information.
When does training start?
Training starts each day at 9:00 a.m.. Please arrive early enough so you are not "that guy" arriving late. The coffee is on at the trailer at 8:30 just for the class!
When will we be done driving?
Some say "too damn soon." Time does fly when you are having fun and before you know it, it will be 4:30. It is our goal to set you free to enjoy the Reno night life before all of us working suckas hit the roads.
What type of vehicle(s) do you provide during training?
We provide you with 1 well maintained, performance Arctic Cat Wildcat X 1000 machine. It's a SXS yes, but it's more than that. The weight distribution front to rear of 40/60, wide stable stance, 95+ H.P. and 17" front/18" of rear wheel travel make this machine feel like a much larger machine. You're gonna dig it!
What does the course fee include?
The use of the machine for the day(s) you are paid for and comprehensive and collision insurance on your SXS machine above and beyond the $2,500.00 deductible - which is your responsibility.
Do I need a helmet?
Yes, you do need a helmet. And eye pro too. If you have your own full face helmet, we encourage you to bring it. If you don't have your own with you, we have helmets available for rent for $15.00 per day. We also encourage driving gloves, if you have them.
What happens if I have a flat?
You change it while the rest of your class throws rocks at you! As trainers, our job is to teach drivers how to NOT have flats. If you don't have a flat during the course, you will be refunded the full $250.00 deposit on your credit card.
Who is responsible for vehicle damage beyond normal wear and tear?
You are. Your course tuition fee includes a $2,499.00 deductible for damage you incur while in your possession, of which you are responsible for. You can purchase a deductible reducer - down to $1,000 deductible - for only $250.00 per course prior to the start of your scheduled course. Without our machines, we can't teach our drivers. At our option - if necessary - we will repair the machine and submit a repair invoice and all supporting documentation to you or your organization just like any rental car agency would do. Except we are way more reasonable with our pricing.
Where should we stay?
Reno/Sparks has close to 20,000 hotel rooms within 5 miles of Reno/Tahoe International Airport. But if you are looking for a property that gives you more than just a bed, we can recommend the Atlantis Resort Spa and Casino for an indulgent AAA 4 diamond experience. Use discount code "PDL" when you make your reservation online and save some coin. It really is a great place to spend a night or 4! Click on one of the links below to check availability.
What should I wear?
We are open year 'round. When its warm outside, it's warm inside the SXS's. When it's cool outside, it's cool inside the SXS. Dress appropriate for a hot or cold day. Oh, now....it is way worth it! You will not be miserable. In fact you will be just the opposite. But do wear long pants, long sleeves and comfortable shoes you can feel your feet in. Also, bring your own gloves, just in case you need them to protect your hands.
