At Dark Side we have focused our lives on harnessing that magical chemical CH3-NO2 "Nitromethane." It comes as no surprise that we focus our courses on the "Top" category of Drag Racing. Drag Racing 101 offers students a basic understanding of racing, safety, mechanics and a history of drag racing. Then we transition to NITRO.
*Custom classes can be developed and can focus on any part of our course outline. This is a phenomenal motivational tool that can be used to reward your sales force or excite your clients, and foster loyalty and goodwill.
