DK Racing School - Willow Springs, California

Robert Kennedy

Had an awesome day with DK Racing School. Wasn't my first time on a track at Willow Springs but the hands on instruction and positive feedback showed me how much better I could be on the track with a 5k+ lb truck, yes, a truck and it was snowing that day to boot lol. I've had some mechanical troubles plague both of my vehicles the past couple of years but hope to get back out there in 2025.

I do mostly photography now and have had the pleasure to attend many of DK's Schools and watched MANY go on to POC SCCA and other Clubs after running in the school, I was even there for a Police Pursuit Class that ran a PD though high-speed maneuvers and chase procedures. I have attended as a driver several schools both two and four wheels. I cannot say enough on the hands-on corner by corner instructions DK provides and the fact you have a top-of-the-line Porsche race shop as your basecamp (Vision Motorsports) Highly Recommend!!!

I have had the good fortune of attending multiple DK Racing School classes over the past two years. Dwain and Martina, along with the other professional coaches, are exceptional teachers who take great pride in sharing their knowledge and helping each student make improvements to their racing knowledge and skill. From detailed track walks to inter-session reviews and coaching, each day is full of fun and learning.

My first class with DK racing was my first time on a track. They really know how to get you comfortable and slowly increase your speed and confidence throughout the day. For advanced racers they help you hone your craft so your lap times improve significantly along with your knowledge of what it means to race.

Dwain and Martina are passionate about sharing their love of the track. They are generous and caring people and make learning a blast. Highly recommended.

DK Racing is an exceptional racing school led by the talented and experienced instructors, Martina and Dwain. I was nervous taking my car on the track for the first time, but they’ve created an environment where everyone, no matter their experience level, feels comfortable and safe. Safety is the most important thing they talk about, and it shows. They’re all about making sure you know the ropes before hitting the track, which really helps build your confidence.

Martina and Dwain have a knack for breaking down tricky techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. They’re patient, give great feedback, and genuinely want to see you succeed. Their passion for racing is contagious, and you can’t help but get excited about learning from them.

I’ve been going to DK Racing since 2020 and have never been disappointed with the experience. If you want to start racing, this is where you should start because of the stress-free, welcoming and knowledgeably environment they’ve created. DK Racing is a critical component of the racing culture at Willow Springs.

I have been a student of DK Racing since 2019. I got involved in the sport of car racing late in life, so learning the sport presented challenges as an older adult. I was lucky enough to be introduced to DK Racing School and with the help of Dwain, Martina and Rick I have since gotten my full competition license. The instructors provided the classroom and actual track experience necessary to not only make racing accessible, but to provide the knowledge to use any track safely and competitively. I have thoroughly enjoyed my racing education process and look forward to many more years working with DK Racing.
DK Racing has been responsible for bringing many people into the sport of amateur road racing and in doing so, growing the sport. The professional approach to educating new drivers is essential to the safety and enjoyment for all who wish to improve and maintain a fun and competitive track environment.
Thank you DK Racing!

I’ve had the opportunity to train with Martina, and I have nothing but positive experiences to share. Martina’s expertise and teaching style have significantly enhanced my understanding of safe and fast racing. She has a unique ability to communicate complex concepts in a clear and cerebral manner, making each lesson both informative and engaging.

One of the key improvements I’ve noticed is my reduced lap times, thanks to her guidance on racing techniques and strategies. Martina’s dedication to her students’ progress is evident in every session, and her passion for the sport is truly inspiring.

Training with Martina offers great value, providing an experience that is both educational and enjoyable. The personalized attention she gives ensures that each student’s individual needs are addressed.

Overall, my experience training with Martina has been exceptional, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their racing skills. Martina’s professionalism, knowledge, and approachable teaching style make her a standout choice for drivers at any level.

Dwain and Martina and staff have evolved their extensive careers of proven track experience into one-on-one classroom and track training. DK Racing School offers four levels of competitive performance driving, from novice to competitive driver. I completed all four levels in less than two years, and currently hold the Willow Springs track record from 2013 for Stock SS08 – with a 2020 992/911 Carrera S. DK training along with the many competent volunteer instructors of Porsche Club of America San Diego Region offered the knowledge and mindset necessary to safely enjoy and excel at competitive performance driving.

I have attended a couple of DK racing school's classes and even though i started club racing a couple years earlier Martina and her team was extremely helpful in pointing out areas for me to improve on and sit with me in the car to ensure ensure that i was implementing the new found information and feedback. The school format is excellent and you get a lot of track time which is the best way to build your skillset and implement all the teachings from the classroom sessions.
