• Borderline notability creates problems for the hook I guess. The driving school article is not a great hook ... could I suggest .... ... that NASCAR's Chris Cook now works for former racing driver Bob Bondurant? Although I agree its not much better Victuallers (talk) 11:11, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

• Well, that wouldn't really work, because he worked for Bondurant before making his NASCAR debut, and still does. Bondurant's school is pretty famous when it comes to training racing drivers and police officers in driving/pursuit tactics [1], and needs a much better article than it currently has. If this can "hold" for a couple of days I can see about whipping up the driving school article into better shape. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 03:32, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

• I've rewritten the driving school into a workable, well-referenced stub. How's this for a hook? - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:41, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
