Ross Bentley - Speed Secrets Seminar Weekend

About this event

Asphalt Ventures, LLC along with The Tarheel Sports Car Club and Triangle Z Club would like to invite you to spend a weekend with us and renowned author and professional driving coach, Ross Bentley

Saturday and Sunday, September 6th & 7th
Sheraton Imperial Hotel & Convention Center, Durham, NC

The event will be split up into two parts:

Saturday, 9:00 - 4:30: Instructor and Advanced Theory Speed Secrets Seminar
Sunday, 9:00 - 4:30: Novice and Advanced Speed Secrets Seminar

Saturday will focus on instructing and coaching drivers. Even if you've been instructing for decades, you owe it to yourself and your students to attend this seminar. You'll be introduced to new techniques and approaches that will enhance your instruction and your students' learning. Advanced drivers will get a lot from this seminar as well as it will help you get thru that developmental plateau on a more mental level.

Here are just a few of the topics that will be covered in Saturday's program:

What instructing is really about (the student)
Instructing vs. coaching
How the driver's mind works
Instructing techniques
Common driving errors (and what to do about them)
Much more, plus a Q&A session

Sunday will be geared towards the driver. The material will be useful for any driver of any experience level, and we urge everyone from the seasoned track/race veteran to the once-a-year autocrosser to attend. We also encourage instructors to sign up for both days... there will be some overlap, but most people welcome the review of what was covered in day one.

Some topics covered in Sunday's program:

Performance - what is it

How the driver's mind works

Improving your mental performance

Vehicle dynamics

The mysteries of trail braking

Using the end-of-braking point

... and much more
