The Four Components of
Performance Driver Education

1) YOU Behind the Wheel!

Your assigned in-car instructor sits in the passenger seat as YOU drive around the race track, pointing where to look next, when to throttle, brake and steer, describing the balance you've achieved, applauding the proper lines you've driven, and more.
Bring YOUR car! If you have that fun little coupe (front, rear, or all wheel drive - sure, grandma in her Honda Accord), a special sedan (we've shared the track with a driver in his Caprice Classic SS), even the kid hauler (had a lady student in her Pontiac Vibe), and they ALL had a BLAST - no sports car required!  see Raffle Winner option below . . .

2) Attending Classroom

Not only a chance to catch your breath after your exhilarating on-track experiences (4 scheduled each day), but VERY helpful in digesting the in-car information you'll gather and learn over the weekend.
More than simple safety protocols and rules of the road, class includes video examples of driving techniques, discussions of key car control principals (you don't know how much you don't know until you've attended one of these!), tips on car set-up, and more.

3) Instructor
Ride-a-long

See what your in-car instructor REALLY wanted you to do (drive line, throttle, etc.) - "oh, so THAT's what you meant . . ."
FEEL the car's amazing capabilities (rarely experienced on street)

4) Track Walk

Early Sunday morning review of Saturday's education - discuss drive lines and throttle control, let your feet feel the banking and elevation changes that you can't sense from inside the car - "so THAT's why my car feels unsettled here . . . Precisely, and here's what you do to control that . . ."
