I can vouch for him as a person and excellent story teller. I worked with him for 5 years. He's super passionate about his work and has so much experience to pull from. I've heard great things about his coaching but never had the chance to experience it first hand (though he owes me a session ).

Never had him as a coach, but he can read the radar at Lime Rock better than anyone.

I had him as an instructor in Skip Barber way back in 1980 at Road America for driving Formula Fords. He was a great FF driver. As him about Seymour Chicken!

1980? And I thought I was doing this for a long time....

I'm looking for more recent feedback of his coaching

He's been around forever, was a hot shoe in the day, and remained with Skippy School as a head guy. I don't think you could find a more experienced teacher.

That's a pretty convincing article. I'd trust him as a coach!

Great article, hard to believe that was 25 years ago.

You may want to ask Bruce for his client list. I don't think you'll find a lot of club racers talking about him because prior to a few years ago he was exclusively skippy drivers and pros. He's worked with some PCA racers that could give you the type of info you're looking for.

Bruce will be coaching with Peter Argetsinger. Additionally, if demand permits it, we will also have John Weisberg. John is an another exceptional instructor who just won two IMSA lites Prototype races at Laguna Seca; he routinely coaches at the Glen.
