You might want to contact Southern Illinois Univ. Automotive Technology program. They have a program like you are trying to do only on the college level. They let the kids drive but I think they are all of legal age to sign the waver for themselves so no objections from parents.

I wish you good luck with this. Myself and some other parents tried to put together a deal to allow our kids to race at Gateway in the high school class a few years ago. The school district got a lawyer involved and made sure it did not happen. I hope you can make this happen it might just make a HUGE difference in a kids life. If it was not for my HS auto shop teacher I dont know where I would be today.
