Pushing a Dodge Challenger SRT\u00ae<\/sup> Hellcat around a curve at 120 as your body fights to stay upright in the driver\u2019s seat is intense. Drifting a Charger SRT Widebody on a skid pad is like a 700-horsepower four-wheel amusement ride. Yanking the front wheels on a Challenger SRT Demon as it launches on a nine-second quarter-mile pass is like being shot out of a cannon. These high-octane thrills await the attendees of the Radford Racing School<\/a>, the Official High Performance Driving School of Dodge\/\/SRT<\/a>. Located on the grounds of Wild Horse Pass near Chandler, Arizona, the Radford Racing School provides a variety of driving courses offering its attendees a once-in-a-lifetime experience behind the steering wheel of a high-horsepower machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
