Don't just take our word for it .... here is what our clients are saying about us at the track!

“I always figured that when I got out of karts, I would stay in open wheel racing and chase the Formula One-Indy Racing League dream. Tom is the one that got me thinking about NASCAR when he brought up the idea at a go-kart race we were at a few years ago. He helped me get the chance to drive a Busch Series car at a driving school in Memphis, and I realized right then and there what I wanted. I just felt so much more comfortable driving the NASCAR then I did in the open-wheel cars. Now I’m going into my fourth season with Team Full Throttle, and am racing ASA North Late Models on my way to the Camping World East Series if I can run well enough this year. Tom has taught me to be more confident in myself and proved to me that if I work hard enough anything can happen for me. He is a strong leader who always looks for talent and always tries to improve us as individuals as well as racers. Mike is easy to work with and learn from as a driver coach and approaches it with both a serious attitude and a sense of humor that calms you down in a pressure situation.”

“Team Full Throttle is definitely the place to go if you’re looking to move up in the sport. It’s a lot like going to a Motorsports college where you major in life as well as Motorsports knowledge. Mike’s coaching expertise was everything to me in my Busch East test. He knows what he’s doing from a coaching standpoint and his NASCAR experience helps him to be able to explain proper driving techniques in a way a rookie can relate to. To this day I practice many of the lessons Tom has taught me off the track for so many years. He’s made me a leader and has improved my attitude and my ability to communicate with fans, sponsors, and everyday people I meet. A big part of who I am today is because of his friendship and training. Tom has helped so many different people in this sport that you’d probably need two books to cover them all. I'm glad to now be working with Team Full Throttle, helping other young racers to achieve their goals and utilizing both my Creative Writing degree and my passion and experience with racing along the way."

“Being with Tom and Team Full Throttle has helped me grow in many ways since I got to know him. Tom was an official at the track where I started racing many years ago, and he’s been both a good teacher in the sport and a good friend to our family as well. He’s always there for his drivers whether they need help with their racing or guidance on something in their lives. He was there for us through some very bad times in the past, and he always knows what to say to make a difficult situation seem easier. Team Full Throttle takes young racers like me who have been champions at their levels and shows us how to grow and become leaders off and on the track. You’re not just a number or a client on this team. You are a person and that’s how they treat you. Now, since Tom has joined forces with Mike, we all have a legitimate shot at being noticed by the right people in NASCAR if we work hard and follow their advice. It’s an exciting program with great rewards for drivers who are willing to pay attention and work hard.”

“Over the years Tom has been a big help and a valuable resource. He has taught me how to approach sponsors, what to do, and what not to do. He’s edited and critiqued sponsor documents for me. He has been an informed voice that will give you his honest and straightforward opinion. The sponsor proposal Tom did for us helped bring a local dealership on board after several years of us trying to do this ourselves with no success. Tom has helped me learn a lot about the business of Motorsports and has always pointed out both my mistakes and accomplishments as well. With Mike’s NASCAR connections and expertise in coaching racers on the track, Team Full Throttle is the perfect match for any young racer who is trying to get noticed and gain training they can use whether they make it as a driver or not. They have helped me and can help you if you’re willing to put in the effort and listen to what they say.”
