FCA US LLC : Dodge Demon Owners Go to Drag Racing School

Where can you drive a Dodge Challenger SRT®Demon without having to buy one?

Dodge//SRT and the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving are offering a new performance-packed one-day drag racing class, featuring the 840-horsepower 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon - the most powerful muscle car ever.

The new 'Dodge//SRT Bondurant Drag Racing School' complements Bondurant's already successful 'Official High Performance Driving School of Dodge//SRT' class provided to all customers who buy an SRT model vehicle and includes both classroom instruction and on-track performance driving. 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon owners have the opportunity to participate in either one of these full-day classes at no additional charge.

​'With great power comes responsibility, so we want our enthusiasts to respect the full capability of their machines,' said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Cars, Dodge//SRT, Chrysler and FIAT®, FCA - North America.

In addition to the Challenger SRT Demon, the new drag racing course will also feature other Dodge high-performance vehicles, including the 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and Hellcat Widebody, and the 485-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT 392.

Pre-registration for the 'Dodge//SRT Bondurant Drag Racing School' began January 12, with the first class starting March 9. Demon and SRT owners register for the class through the Dodge//SRT concierge line, 800-998-1110, as their vehicle identification numbers will be verified. All others register at Bondurant.com/dragracing.

Owners of other Dodge//SRT vehicles, who already receive a full-day high performance driving class, can upgrade their training to two full days (one-day road course, one-day drag strip) for $999. Non-Dodge vehicle owners can also take the drag racing class for $1,999 to learn the art of drag racing and experience the Challenger SRT Demon, SRT Hellcat, Hellcat Widebody and SRT 392.

The 'Dodge//SRT Bondurant Drag Racing School' will be held at Bondurant's world-class facility and the Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park, an official NHRA drag strip, which sit on approximately 200 acres in Chandler, Arizona. The new program is a part of Bondurant's Golden 50th Anniversary in 2018 and is a collaboration with Dodge, Goodyear, Shell and Pennzoil.

The new Dodge//SRT Bondurant Drag Racing School introduces fundamental drag racing skills and knowledge from burnouts and staging to reaction time and elapsed time.
