don't worry about over crowding at one of these events, only about 25 drivers show up. It's pretty much open track but instructors are available. I felt a bit intimidated when a group of Ferrari's would pull onto the track, but got over it within 2 turns

I posted a few pics after attending the Nov. 2002 Event .

Just do it, you will have a blast

There will be 20-25 people there max, on a big road course, so the track will be far from crowded. Unlike other schools that offer a few 20 minute driving sessions, we offer a full day of as much 1 on 1 instruction desired. You will literally be able to drive from 9:30 to 5pm, only stopping for 2 classroom sessions and lunch. Students who feel confident to drive on their own after instruction may be signed off to drive on their own in the afternoon.

If you come with a good attitude and willingness to learn, you will have one of the best times in your life! As one of our regulars said, it is "the most fun you can have with your clothes on!"

If you'd like me to explain the day further over the phone, feel free to call.

Thanks,
Ben

No, remember, I'm all ready signed up for another event the week before. I would love to do both, but my wallet isn't as big as Mr. Ferrari's Now, if you wanna give me a free invite, I will be there and I will even bring my MB this time. Gotta see how well those Carlsson COs really do.

Kwik,

I would love to give you a free invite, but I don't have the money to do so The school is not ours, we only help run the events. Good luck at the other lesson!

xyzpl,

SA90 Helmets are available to borrow, but if you have your own, bring it! Suits are not required, for the most part, only our instructors wear driving suits at the events.
