Nate Tennis from DirtFish Rally school joins us on this episode to discuss rally driving, racing, and training.\xa0 Nate reviews his background (since essentially his birth) and how his school approaches teaching the principles of rally driving to their students.\xa0 His extensive background in rally and off road racing for over two decades and counting helps tremendously in teaching their students since 2010.\xa0 DirtFish's original vision was to become the premier rally school in the United States.\xa0 Moreover, DirtFish has evolved into one of the most prestigious professional rally school in all of North America, and earning a reputation in all forms of performance driving, specialized training, education and all-out commitment to rally.

Beyond rally, DirtFish is a great frontier to learn about handling, speed, agility, and car control skills, with a profound enthusiasm for the dirt and gravel driving derived car control from its rallying roots.\xa0 If your car control skills could use some sharpening and especially if you are not 100% comfortable with you car getting unstable or sliding in a turn, this may be the best investment in improving your driving skills.
