We offer a two day comprehensive performance driving clinic with one on one instructors and lots lots more. It will be a blast again this year.

Definitely interested!

Good to hear....now just make sure you actually come out.

[SVTOA]

You asked if the cost included the hotel. No it does not. There is camping available if you are interested.

How much instruction time do you get? Is it all in car or is there class time?

[SVTOA]

There is a classroom session first thing each morning for everyone. This session is extended a little longer for the novice groups or anyone who wishes to sit in. Then at some point during the day there is usually another classroom session or two for the novice groups. Each time you go out on track you will have an instructor with you as well. So there is a lot of learning happening over the entire weekend. You will learn a lot even if you think you are a good driver already you will be very surprized at what you don't know. I am sure Evan can agree with that. It is a good mix of both on and off track learning over the weekend. It is a fun weekend.

That's what I want! I have a Mustang that is built for the track. I want to be able to drive it like it should be. Who are the instructors and what are their backgrounds?

[SVTOA]

All of our instructors are volunteers who have had a lot of experience on track teaching across North America. We have a lead instructor who makes all the arrangements with our instructors and ensures that they know what they are doing. The group of instructors that we have have been helping us for few years now and the feed back we get from our participants is always great. They are all track dawgs who just love to get out and do this stuff. Our lead instructors is a great guy who really knows his stuff.

Mark,

My advice is, go with the cougar the first few times. You will learn alot more in that rather than the mustang which could be faster. The trick is to learn to be a smooth driver and drive to the limits of the car first, then move up to a faster car. There is a good chance that the Mustang you have, since it would be the first time on track for you, would end up frustrating you beyond belief. The reason I say this is that modified cars usually give you less warning of when you approach the limit or are about to go byond thier limits of adhesion. The cougar wil give you much more waring and I am sure you will still have a good ways to go before you actually hit it's lowest lap times.

[MaverickFlyer]

I understand what you're say but I would be afraid of breaking something on my daily driver. If I break something on the Mustang oh well I can take my time fixing it. Also driving a FWD car is a lot different than RWD. The suspension and braking is set up perfect and I have a set of track tires. Honestly I'd love to go for a ride in it with a professional driver to see what they can do with it. :biggrin:

[SVTOA]

I am sure I can find an instructor that would love to drive your car with you in it to show you what it can do.

[MaverickFlyer]

Well I have sometime to decide which car to bring. Hopefully I'll get out to the track before then.

Yeah....mull it over. As much as I'd like to see the stang out there with you I also don't want to see you looping it or going off into the long grass too much (and possibly setting it on fire/making smoldering grass like I did one year).

I also don't want to see you get frustrated by seeing a FSVT or say a Contour making faster times than you. Either way I'm sure you will have tonnes of fun and will learn alot. I am still up in the air about going this year as I may be going for my CASC certfication and need to save $$ so I can run some 3hr regional races next year. If I do go it will likely be on the Sunday

Definately interested.

Would love to be able to find out the limits of the Coug.

What requirements, if any, would you recommed the car have done to it?

i.e. special brakes, brake lines, tires.

[MaverickFlyer]

Hey, I know I'm not the best driver. I can admit that. That's why I want to learn. I'm not looking for the fastest lap times. I spent most of my time at the drag strip. Now I want to try something new. :biggrin:

Bleed/flush your brake fluid with a quality fluid (Ford HD Dot4 is good and inexpensive) and make sure you have lots of pad life left. Mods are not needed, just a car that is in good running order.

Other items are:
Tires - tread depth and tire pressure
Hemet (if you don't want to borrow)
Sunscreen (you will be in the sun all day)
Long sleeve shirt (required while in car)

There are many more items I could list but those are the important ones.

[MaverickFlyer]

I was thinking of going to the 'Hanson GTR Driving School' in September. Not sure which one I should go to now.

[SVTOA]

I will say that our event is a great venue for novices to get started and get hooked. It is also great for those who are advanced as well. It is a pretty well rounded event.

Plus we have a lot more than just on track too. Meet 'n greet on Friday to meet with other enthusiasts and a banquet dinner on Saturday again to chat with your fellow enthusiasts. We have prizes, and lots of goodies for everyone over the weekend.

Hope to see you.

[SVTOA]
