Stunt driving schools/high performance driving schools in Massachusetts?

Submitted by The-LittleBastard t3_z0burs in massachusetts

Curious if anyone has any experience or recommendations for any around the state or around New England? I’ve been looking into a career as a stunt driver for film and I’m sure my skills as an everyday Joe Schmo (as good as I think they might be) wouldn’t fly; so I figured I’d need to take some classes at the very least.

If anyone has done anything similar (or is currently doing this as a career) I’m all ears and willing to learn!

Thanks in advance!

Team O’Neil Rally School for rally/gravel driving. They also do drifting school at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Probably the best place to start if you’re looking to do performance driving. I believe their 5-day school is like $7500.

There are also lots of car clubs (COM Sports Car Club, etc.) that have track day events and instructors to teach on track driving.

128-495-rt2 at rush hour twice a day for one year you’ll be fully qualified and ready to start as a stunt driver!

This. The Team O’Neil rally school is about as legit as it gets for rally instruction.

Another avenue is to check out the various cart tracks around K1 and others have e cart leagues you can sign up for.

I’ve always been partial to the self-teaching method. Grab yourself a rental car, check all the boxes for CDW and other optional insurance, then let ‘er rip!

You have a better chance at making a living actually racing cars than you do being a stunt driver, but good luck.
