High Performance Driving Clinic @ Willow Springs: Dec 4th!

Dear Fellow Enthusiast:

The Motorsports Club and Evosport invite you to another exhilarating high performance driving clinic at Willow Springs International Raceway (the BIG track), on Thursday, December 4, 2008. For those who have attended one of our many events in the past, you know the combination of instruction, track time, food, weather and amazing assortment of machinery just can't be beat...anywhere!! For those of you who have not been able to make our regular events, now is your chance to see what you've been missing!

These special events include:
• A very exhilarating yet safe environment (with this being an educational driving instruction event with no timing, your street car
may well be covered by your insurance company while on the track - but, check to be sure as insurance company policies and practices do vary)
• As one regular participant put it "the most fun you can have with your clothes on!"
• A limited number of cars (total participation is typically limited to approx. 20-25 cars) to maximize track time and ensure
availability of instructors for those who want/need them
• More track time in one (1) day than most other events provide in two days - plus you won't have an overnight motel cost either!
• One-on-one professional on- and off-track driving instruction for those who want/need it (conducted by experienced instructors and racers)
• Separate track sessions for experienced and inexperienced drivers to maximize the fun-factor and safety of both groups
• Controlled "fun races" for those who want to participate (typically 4-6 lap "races" to provide real wheel-to-wheel racing for
those experienced drivers craving a taste of the "next level")

And if that weren't enough, your entry fee also includes:• A breakfast upon arrival (typically juices, fruits, breads, pastries, etc.)
• A gourmet catered lunch that you won't believe (typically ribs, steak, chicken, sausages, veggies, pasta, slaws, etc.)
• Water and fluids offered all day
Anyone who HAS been to one of our events will tell you they are awesome - great fun on and off the track. But be warned, this track stuff can become an addiction!

As providers of the professional driving instruction for Motorsports Club events, Evosport has also negotiated very attractive pricing incentives for our "favored customers" (that's you!). With advance reservation and pre-payment, we can provide a substantial discount off the typical rates charged for these events (typically $595-$895). We are offering this event for ONLY $395 for the day when you register AND pre-pay by MONDAY, NOV 10 (registration after that is $495). This includes track time, instruction on/off track, breakfast and lunch! In addition, you may bring one guest with you to spectate and endulge in breakfast and lunch (additional cost of $30 fee per guest for breakfast/lunch). Registration can be completed by sending a check made to “Motorsports Club” to the following address (please include the year, make, model of your vehicle):

Evosport Inc.
ATTN: Driving Events
15608 Graham Street
Huntington Beach, CA 92649


First question usually asked by first-time attendees: "Other than my car, what will I need at the track?" For safety purposes, approved auto racing helmets (SNELL 95 or newer) are required for all drivers and passengers on the track at all times. However, for those of you who may not have helmets, we will have several loaners at the track to borrow (advance reservation of such is strongly recommended as the number available is obviously limited). Although additional racing apparel is certainly advisable, it is not required. At the minimum, pants and closed-toe shoes. If you need more info about personal or vehicle preparation, feel free to contact me or we can further discuss it at the event. More information regarding the track, directions or accommodations can be found at www.willowspringsraceway.com.

Bottom line, we are confident you will be as excited about participating in these track events as we are providing them for you! This event will fill quickly and you need to register and pre-pay to take advantage of the discounted pricing. So if you haven't signed up yet, don't delay!

For more information or to be added to our Driving Events email list, please visit www.evosport.com/motorsport/#driving_events, email us at driving@evosport.com or call us toll-free at 888.520.9971. Feel free to pass this along to other enthusiasts. Hope to hear from each of you soon!

Happy Motoring!

We always recommend getting a pre-track inspection from your local shop. We do it all the time and it's just peace of mind to ensure things like:

- Tire tread
- Brakes
- No leaks
- Fluids topped off
- Tire pressure set

You can do some of this stuff yourself with regards to visually inspecting the above items. Also, remove all loose items from the car so they're not moving around on track.

We find we get better turnouts on weekdays. Also, the track is less expensive to rent on weekdays which means less cost to you as well. I'm sure you have some sick...err I mean personal days off work you can take
