A plus! Wonderful staff/instructors. I had a FANTASTIC time with the 3 day course. Just listen to the instructions, do what they say even though it may not sound right at 1st trust them and me when i say... they are spot on (its completely different from road racing lines and set up). You will be amazed at how much you learn and how well you do. Great show room with lots of apparel etc. The item in the showroom actually look nice and well designed. I have been to other schools and different race tracks and you struggle to find a shirt the looks good enough to buy, but at Dirtfish you want to buy one of everything. I cant say enough good things about the place. One guy in my class even mentioned how clean the bathrooms are.( LOL odd yes i know but he was right) It's a MUST DO if you have the means. DIRTFISH crew, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A GREAT TIME!!! Johnny G

Krissy was so pleasant, and helped me surprise my buddy "Cone Killer" with a unique surprise on the dry erase board! Thank you so much!!

Just finished an awesome 3 day Rally class at DirtFish! Amazing class, everything is top notch - instructors are super knowledgeable and friendly, cars are great and well maintained, facility is perfect, location is amazing, top notch all around. Highly recommended to anyone interested in learning car control, high speed driving (on road or off), or of course rally driving. If you're even thinking about it, do it!! Way exceeded my high expectation :)

Jon Bolt

Learned a lot, but sometimes my arms bend back.

Ibram Arindra

Amazing! I hope i can learn about rally here. The best place!

Alex Franco

Came in for the first time, everyone was very friendly, told them that that I was in the area and I wanted to see what dirtfish was all about and offered me a thrill ride at a good price, I would definitely recommend this place for any visitors, there are also a nice gift shop, old rally cars to see, bathrooms with showers, break room with beverages and Sim gaming room with 8 other consoles to play with your friends... All in all, this place is awesome!

Chris Sherman

This place is pure Awesomeness! No better place to learn that right here at DirtFish, love it there!

Brian Melton-Grace

Fantastic instruction. Great fun.

So I’ve been in the market for a driving school for a looooong time and have done various asphalt schools for the different jobs. I really wanted to try something that got me out of my comfort zone and would challenge me...the 1 day RWD course was it!! I had a blast driving today but honestly it was mostly due to the awesome coaching I received from Mirko Freguia. Let me tell you at any driving school you decide to go the content is almost the same on the short days (1-2 days or less), this was no different. The instruction is very similar to other programs but the delivery and feedback from Mirko made all the difference in the world. He’s a class act and really helps you push your limits to find the right way to drive off pavement. He made the day challenging and fun. I’d definitely recommend taking a 1 day course here if you’ve never been to a driving school. The facilities were also top notch. This place is everything you’d expect to find at a rally school. They have old rally cars inside, trophies from past wins, even old racing suits from drivers. They also have current technology with over 10 Forza racing simulators to practice on. All in all if you’re on the fence just do it. It will make you a better and more confident driver even if you never race or rally again. I’d do a longer course if it wasn’t so pricey but the 1 day is actually reasonable to get your feet wet.

I took the two-day rally codriving class with Craig Drew. It was everything I hoped for and more! I learned a ton about the sport from someone who's a real authority on it. Then I got to test out my codriving skills in a car at speed with a skilled driver. I want to come back and take more classes!

Elliott Omlin

The most fun you can have on four wheels... Legally.

Eric Greer

This changed my life.

Matt Vogel

I had the chance to go there for the Red Bull GRC race over the weekend of last September and I always love going back to DirtFish, the staff was amazing, friendly, funny and super skilled! DirtFish is the place to go to learn any kind of off-road Rally, I wish I could go everyday! I hope to be there again soon!

Fantastic guys, brilliant school!

György Antal

Drive like a shariff

Hilary Osborn

We love it here. Well worth the money. If your dream is to rally this place is a must. The staff is friendly and so much to see.

Evan Dunn

THE best rally cross school in the US. Hands down.

Richard Arons

Just finished 1 day program at Dirt Fish with my 18 year old son. I went so my son could learn how to control a car on slippery roads for safety. And yes it was very helpful for safety reasons. However, I had no idea how fun rally driving is. Dirt Fish training is amazing. The cars are really cool. It’s extremy safe—you spin out but they don’t let you hit anything. They even teach you how to drive a stick if you don’t know. The driving instructors are all experienced racers and are great teachers. I would rate Dirt Fish as a top 5 life experiences! You got to try this if you have any interest in cars or if you want your teenage driver to be be able to save a car in a skid on a wet road!

Bernie Macias

It was great. Had so much fun. Definitely coming back.

Greg Hartman

What a professional organization, top notch everything, and no detail missed. I came for the RWD 3 day classes. I thought the instructors were excellent and I'll be coming back for the AWD classes as soon as I can.

Chuck Nagel

I've attended numerous driving schools and DirtFish is tops. Very professional. The instructors were great at their jobs. The cars were well prepared. The course was well maintained. I recommend this school for any driver at any experience level. I was totally impressed and will attend again in the future. At the end of the three days all students were blissfully exhausted. Come physically prepared.

Angie Kaeser

Very attentive and experienced staff. Would recommend.

Samuel Chavez

Dirtfish Rally School has exceeded my expectations. It was beyond awesome. Anyone who owns a car/license must take this course. I will be back for more!!!

Jeanie Walker

DirtFish was a BLAST! Friendly, skilled teachers. Beautiful setting. I learned more about physics of velocity, weight and direction on the road than I would've guessed - and giggled like a freaking schoolgirl sliding through turns. Free your inner roadbeast and experience the joy of rally driving. I'm addicted!

Laura Hawkins

Dirtfish has been on my bucket-list for a long time and I’m so glad I was finally able to do their 3 day program. I had a BLAST! Phenomenal program, great instructors and staff. You will not be disappointed!

Stacy Roger

what a great time .. At Titans electric work picnic. Rally car Ride was amazing.

Andrew Wait

Best driving school ever... you learn a lot, great fun, lots and lots of seat time.

Matt Pisut

Cars ran great, track was in excellent shape and the instructors knew a ton! Definitely left a better driver and look forward to coming back. Highly recommended!

Carlos Campos

What an amazing experience! This was the most fun driving experience I have ever had. I was flirting with the idea of their multi day course for a while, but the price was a bit high. So their one day course was the perfect option to get me started, now I’m looking forward to get back their for more

Dillon Robinson

We came here years ago simply to take photos of the exterior of the Twin Peaks shooting location. For some reason, the staff here didn't shoo us away. Actually, even though we weren't customers in any regard, they let us come in, tour the whole building, take photos behind reception, and then gave us a bunch of bumper stickers! Incredibly nice staff!

Vicki H

More fun than I could have imagined. It's no joke, though...prepare to challenge yourself. After we finished the class for the day, our instructors took us out for a spin with THEM at the wheel. Adrenaline city! Just pull the trigger and do it. You won't regret it.

Annette Chiniquy

Super cool! The bronco from the t.v. show Twin Peaks just happens to be hanging out, living the dream.

Dj Riley

I took the RWD drive class on accident meant to do awd but this was 10 times better. One of the best times I’ve ever had in a car. Nate was a great instructor and driver as I’m sure they all are. This is definitely worth the money.

Cody Hansen

Dirtfish allowed the Northwest Rally Association to hold a event for new drivers to use their own vehicles on Dirtfishs course. It was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed every minute of it and had my first race the day after. Team is incredibly professional and informative. Just do it!

Erika Hodges

2nd time visiting. Had an absolute blast! It’s wonderful to see the new structure and layout between the first visit and second. Everyone was a pleasure to work with and really went above and beyond. Instructors were pleasant and encouraging. Lead instructor was funny and welcoming. From the time you arrive to the time you leave, you feel like you’re part of the DirtFish family. I recommend Eric as an instructor. He is a total badass behind the wheel but makes everything look easy and smooth. Instructions are to the point and easy to enact when you’re behind the wheel. Very helpful and positive. Fan out on Star Wars with him when you visit :) Thank you DirtFish!!!

Worth every penny

Mann Chy

Place best to learn off-road driving in a rally car in America! You will have plenty of time to drive!

Todd Finch

The Dirtfish Rally School was by far one of the best things I have ever done in my life. The lead instructor Mitch was top notch in the classroom and my in-car instructor Ted was awesome! Both were full of racing knowledge and know-how and eager to share and coach. The facility was kick-ass and the cars were gritty and fun STi's, Subaru FTW! A one day session was awesome but I gotta say all it did was make me want to go back for a longer session!

Michael Baron

The most fun you'll ever have while going sideways in a car.

Diego Lejwa

Just finished a two day class. Amazing facilities, amazing instructors. Coming back next year for advanced training!

Adam Protter

Absolutely incredible, I can't recommend this place enough. I came here after I bought my STi to learn how to properly drive my car and the lessons I learned here have certainly save my skin a few times.

Michael Dolloff

Did a half day corporate driving event and it was a blast. Perfect blend of learning, driving and hanging out/chatting while waiting to get back in the seat for your turn. Made for a great location and medium for having fun and building relationships with other folks in your group. Super friendly staff, great facility and just such a nice overall experience experience. Will definitely return!
