Blue Ridge PCA/Tarheel BMW CCA '16 #1

Salem Civic Center

About this event

  

This school is Hosted by the Blue Ridge Region of the Porsche Club of America

and the Tarheel Chapter of the BMW Club of America

Sunday, October 16th, 8:30AM-4:30PM

The primary emphasis of the Tire Rack Street Survival® is a "hands-on" driving experience in real-world situations! We use your own car to teach you about its handling limits and how you can control them. The students will become more observant of the traffic situation they find themselves in. They will learn to look far enough ahead to anticipate unwise actions of other drivers. As the students master the application of physics to drive their cars, they will make fewer unwise driving actions themselves. They will understand why they should always wear their own seatbelts, and why they should insist that their passengers wear seatbelts, too.

Three parents, including Scott Goodyear, former Indy Car Champion, share their perspectives in this video.

It's about more than driving - it's about LIVING!

All Schools $75.

Event requirements

Parents are encouraged to stay!  Please arrive early.

High Center of Gravity Vehicles (HCGs) such as SUVs, SAVs, Trucks, Jeep-type vehicles, and Minivans will need to be verified.  The older HCGs without electronic stability control (not just the electronic traction control) will not be accepted.

HCG vehicles may still be limited with respect to the exercises in which they are allowed to participate based on local venue conditions. 

Please look up the HCG vehicle safety score. You can research the safety ratings that a vehicle has received at  www.safercar.gov. and their rating test at www.safercar.gov/Safety+Ratings.

This review is for HCG vehicles only. Passenger cars do not need to be reviewed.

Any vehicle with a listing of 3 stars or more out of 5 in the Roll Over test will be allowed to participate in our class. We are concerned about the Roll Over test on the HCG only. We are not concerned about the crash test ratings.

Any HCG vehicle listed as “not tested” in the Roll Over test will not be allowed to participate.
