Ken Hawthorn, Founder & President
Ken Hawthorn started the Model Car Program as a way of engaging his employer, Consulting Psychologists Press, in a community service project. After three years serving as the company’s Signature Accounts Manager and developing the Model Car Program program in his spare time, he successfully converted Student Racing Partners into a self sustaining organization. Ken sees this project as an opportunity to make a real difference in the community. He wants to actively engage all of our community’s young people in an experience that will challenge their minds and help grow them into positive, healthy adults.

Our Instructors:
We work with very diverse group of instructors. While it is true that SRP instructors have passed a lot of training in order to lead our classes, we are looking for the unique combination of academic and life experiences that allow an instructor to walk into a new classroom and quickly gain the students respect through genuine interactions in both the lecture and hands on segments of the course.
