Steve Staveley

Steve Staveley has been an instructor at FastLane since 1999. He shares his deep knowledge of racing through our high-performance courses, and he is also a cornerstone of our defensive-driving instruction, often leading the classroom sessions and programs that genuinely help save lives.

Steve’s background is exceptional. An accomplished racer and instructor, he also spent nearly forty years in law enforcement, including ten as a Police Chief. He channels that experience into one of FastLane’s standout programs, High Speed EVOC, which prepares incoming California Highway Patrol cadets for the high-speed driving portion of their academy, a test they must pass to earn their badge. Under Steve’s leadership, hundreds of cadets have come through the program with a 98% pass rate.

Humble, proactive, and genuinely passionate, Steve is also just a great person to sit down and talk with. In private one-on-one coaching at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, that rare mix of elite driving skill, real-world authority, and patient teaching is exactly what makes him such a valued part of the FastLane team.
