Alex Penrith

Alex Penrith is a law enforcement driving instructor and lifelong racer who contracts with FastLane as an EVOC (Emergency Vehicle Operations) coach. An LAPD officer, he serves as a driving instructor at the department’s Davis Training Facility, where he teaches pursuit driving, high-speed vehicle operation, and collision avoidance, and he is POST certified.

His instructor credentials are matched by real racing. Based in Ojai, California, Alex is a vintage and historic sports car racer who has campaigned cars including a Lola sports racer and a Lotus, and he competes in hill climb events alongside his road racing. That mix gives him both a competitor’s instinct and a professional instructor’s discipline.

The blend is what Alex adds to the FastLane team: the precision of police EVOC training paired with the racecraft of an active competitor. In coaching at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, he helps drivers master car control at speed, the same fundamentals that keep both racers and officers safe when it matters most.
