Chuck West
Chuck West is EFM Racing's primary driver coach. More than simply a driver coach, Chuck's "whole life" approach to racing encompasses much more than on track performance. His balance of a concentrated fitness regimen, a proper diet including proprietary supplements he has developed himself, and a mental conditioning program all contribute to a driver's success.
Chuck was a vastly successful driver, finishing 2nd in the 1991 Star Mazda series and backing that success up by winning the 1992 Star Mazda Overall Championship. Chuck moved up to the extremely competitive Formula Atlantic Championship the next few years and finished on the podium regularly against much higher funded teams.
Chuck also knows the business side of racing extremely well, having founded World Speed Motorsports in 1991, owning the team until 2003. His perspective as a large team owner allows him to give young drivers unparalleled advice as they move their careers forward.
