Mike Carter, Tampa Bay
"After one day of coaching with Chris Hall, I am so much faster than I was before. It is absolutely unbelievable. I'm talking 10-15 mph faster at the end of straights due to coming out of entrance turns faster as compared to my prior un-coached mediocre performance."
Mark Dreyer, Orlando
"I got my day in with Chris Hall this Saturday at Sebring. The man is a true gentleman and has a very nice coaching style. I'd recommend him to anyone considering a coach."
Gavin Riches, Fort Myers

"FAST DRIVING IS NOT ONLY A PLEASURE, BUT AN ART, AND ONLY A FEW CAN MASTER IT."
Quote from 60's German race car driver Count Wolfgang Von Trips
I can guide you on how to achieve and master the art of fast driving!
35 years of racing and 30 years of teaching in motorsport have given me the tools to get the best out of a driver and their car, track day or race day. Having coached drivers from Formula One and down I have seen it all ! Let me show you that spending money and using me as your coach is a far more effective way than spending money on the latest "go faster" part.
I also have a "rookie to racer" program especially designed for the absolute beginner.
Chris can be hired for track days, amateur and professional race events and will ride and drive with you at events and in vehicles that allow this.
For more details and rates please contact Chris direct 678-571-3632 or by e mail hallmotor@aol.com
