Roy Hill teaches you more than techniques for driving a race car through the quarter mile. Winning takes more than basic skills, and Roy builds on the fundamentals. On and off the racetrack, from the early morning breakfast to the late evening dinners, you will be thinking, talking, eating, and breathing drag racing. Roy and his skilled staff of instructors immerses you in a drag racing atmosphere, where seconds count and experience is priceless.

Roy Hill's Drag Racing School has the largest, most technologically advanced fleet of drag racing cars in the country: a Pro Stock Mustang, 3 Thunderbirds, 2 Probes, 1 Pro Stock T-Bird, 4 Super Comp Dragsters and 3 Automatic Body Cars. Our newest dragster is a two seater which is a great instructional piece of equipment. It allows people to ride who may not want to drive but still would like to experience the thrill of being a drag racer.

Consistent ETs and quick reaction times are keys to tripping the win lights. You learn from the experts in state-of-the-art electronics, track operations and timing systems. Whether you are a novice or a national champion, you will learn tricks and techniques for a better run down the track. You also acquire a thorough understanding of throttle stops, cross-over boxes, timed shifting, weather stations and an assortment of other tools that bridge the gap between being a runner and being a winner.

KURT BUSCH GOES STRAIGHT-LINE RACING

NASCAR veteran Kurt Busch expects Greg Anderson to be equally generous with his ride.

Anderson, the three-time NHRA Pro Stock champion, approached Busch on opening night at zMax Dragway in 2007 about making a few runs down the quarter-mile in Busch's Dodge Viper.

Busch obliged.

Some may call it professional racer courtesy but Busch, driver of the No. 2 Dodge Charger on the NASCAR Sprint Cup series, calls it enticement.

That night the driver who makes a living racing in circles became highly interested in straight line racing.

With the help of drag racing school instructor Roy Hill, Busch has spent more than a few days at Piedmont Dragway located outside of Greensboro, NC, becoming acclimated with high-horsepower drag racing. In all, Busch has worked with Hill on three different occasions progressing towards his goal of being able to drive a professional race car on the drag strip.

Now A Licensed Super Gas Racer, NASCAR Racer Wants To Race Gainesville

The NASCAR icon, who has flirted with the idea of licensing in a Pro Stocker through drag racing school instructor Roy Hill, paused for a moment on Wednesday afternoon to sign his newly-acquired NHRA Super Gas license.

Busch was at zMax Dragway in Concord, N.C., completing his licensing runs under the guidance of Hill.

“Roy Hill and his school put me through the rigors today,” said Busch, who drove a 180-mph Top Sportsman-style Mustang. “He’s pounded on me to the point when I stand up; I am a few inches shorter. This has been an awesome experience and Roy’s way of teaching reminds me a lot of my dad when I was first getting started in oval track racing.”

The next goal for Busch is the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla., and if everything goes as planned, he’ll compete in the Super Gas (9.90) with a 1970 Dodge Challenge prepared in his shop. The key will be finding the spare time in his demanding NASCAR schedule to finish the car.

“It’s a multiple personality car,” Busch confirmed. “This car is a combination of daily driver and built to NHRA specs to run Super Gas. We have visions of also running in the NMCA, IHRA and whatever places we can find when it comes time to play.”

Busch’s car, when it’s finished, will be a work, of musclecar art. There will be no decals except for the required Lucas Oil Sportsman Series decal, and the obligatory Roy Hill’s Drag Racing School.
