Featured Speaker

We have been fortunate this year to book Dennis Macchio, President of Bertil Roos Racing School, to talk to us about the various elements of instructing. He will stress the mental aspects of high performance driving, for both student and instructor. He will also present a segment on interpreting data from on-board data acquisition systems, such as Traqmate. I think you’ll find that Dennis has a different perspective than anyone you’ve heard before.

Presentation Outline:

Setting the Stage
Teaching Performance Driving Theory
Technique
The Second Level (Problems & Challenges)
Use of Teaching Tools
Survival Techniques
Data Acquisition
Questions and Answers
Updates on ARPCA and NOR procedures, policies, and classroom material.

Cost: $20.00 per instructor
