DRAG RACING INSTRUCTOR
Chuck Sundstrom has served as a Drag Racing instructor and track consultant for the Bondurant High Performance Driving School since 2012. In his role, he works one-on-one with drag racing students to help them improve their ¼ miles times and earn their coveted 9 Second license from the NHRA.
A native of Michigan, Chuck started working at a car dealership as a young teen. He was raised in a family of drag racers and started competing when he was only 16-years-old. Over the last two decades Chuck has pursued his drag racing passion as a full-time driver, mechanic, track manager and as the Race Director at Firebird International Raceway and Spokane County Raceway.
His time on the track as a racer along with his experience working behind-the-scenes with the NHRA, Lucas Oil and other sanctioning bodies outside of the NHRA, has given him a balanced understanding of the motorsports industry.
Chuck currently owns and operates GoFast Entertainment, a motorsports company that hosts drifting and drag racing events across the country. Over the years, Chuck has built numerous race and show cars that have been featured in national magazines.
