Advanced Driver Tuning

Summit Point Raceway - Jefferson

About this event

Advanced Driver Tuning

Driver Training from world renowned BSR presented by Haasmobility.

Do Not Miss This Opportunity!  Our class fee of $895.00 could buy a lot of stuff for your track time, but none as valuable as these skills and experience you can use forever.

You can do a lot of track days, driving schools, or events and never have a professional instructor (often teaching 20 days per month, not per year) and a dedicated training vehicle.

Take adavantage of the 10% "Bring a Friend" discount good for up to 2 friends you have sign up!  Yes that adds up to $179.00 off of your registration.  Use code BF508

Individual training and coaching by professional instructors from BSR (Bill Scott Racing).  BSR instructors have the experience and training to maximize your skills and provide driving tools you will be able to use whenever you want to perform your best.  We begin with core techniques for blending braking, managing traction, and crucial occular driving skills.

Nuances of your individual driving skill and methods are analized and refined to develop a series of techniques you can use to assure your maximum performance on demand.

Explore the limits of traction, effective weight transfer, and truly effective use of your vision while piloting a purposely prepared Police Interceptor. The beauty of this opportunity is that you will clearly understand how the weight is manipulated, how the traction works, and what it means to manage your resources effectively. Your coach will encourage you to exceed the limits of the car and effectively guide it back.  Driving teams include instructor and up to three students.  See a variety of techniques and interpretations.

Are you willing to flat spot your tires to really "get" threshold braking and trail braking?  Do you want to slide your car off the pavement as you explore the absolute limits of traction

There is no hiding from physics in these training cars and that's the whole point. BSR has chosen our training vehicles for their unique combination of performance, predictability, and durability.  Make no mistake, the Crown Vic Police Interceptor will perform well enough to test your skills. Take a look at some laps in a BSR trainer.  http://youtu.be/NyP1fST84Zo  

Look at this video of laps around the extended Jefferson Circuit and notice that the car is constantly at or near the limit of traction.  Its easy to forget this is a huge sedan doing these laps because of the travel rate and apparent stability.  If you can manage this much physics and a set of Goodyear all season radials imagine what you can do in a real performance car.  After the Advanced Driver Tuning event you will never forget eye management, fingers and toes, and smooth inputs.  Practice makes perfect.

All performance oriented drivers live in a constant state of development. No matter what the application drivers are always striving to improve their skills, add to their toolbox, and go faster more consistently. This event will allow even the most seasoned performers to step back and calibrate their inputs, improve their eye management, and balance controls to assure optimum performance.

Advanced Driver Tuning is your way to visit the core skills mandatory for outstanding performance. While you may learn these things the hard way as many of us have, there is a shorter path. Even if the dust has not yet settled on your latest racing trophy you can benefit from understanding the elemental origins of your success. Your first day on the track may still be a recent memory and while you are actively unscrambling all of the information now is a great time to learn where many of the pieces fit.

Your day will begin with a short overview presentation of vehicle control followed immediately by on track exercises including skid pad and control training. Afterwords these skills will be applied to lapping sessions where you can explore the components of car control and personal technique. This opportunity is a far superior environment compared to experimenting while attempting to beat 30 of your closest friends into turn one.

Sign up today for Advanced Driver Tuning and enjoy a great day of driving, bench racing, and just plain getting better. We look forward to seeing you soon!
