The autocross school has been developed for any driver who wants to improve his or her driving skills. The school is open to all drivers with a valid driver's license. SCCA members as well as non-member are welcome.
What will I learn?
The school is designed to give drivers an understanding of car control, safety and tips to become a better driver on and off the track. All students will receive classroom time (with handouts), personalized training with an experienced driver, and the option to enter the Autocross event on Sunday.

Car must be empty of ALL loose objects.
Failure to pass inspection will result in your car not being allowed to run in the school or event

Yup car control will probably be a part of it and approaching corners and all other techniques on driving fast will be taught.
You'll learn a lot about how your car handles and how to properly take a corner, slalom, etc etc etc. It's a great experiance and it's well priced.
If you intrested email Scott ASAP as spots are filling up quickly!

The only class time will be the 2 hours on Fri night.
All Sat is driving time. The morning session will be drills with instruction. The afternoon session will be on course run time to apply all that you've learned.
