Full Day Program
Our full day road racing program begins with a morning classroom session where you will learn the fundamentals of high performance driving, the racing line and car control. After class you will be fitted with an SFI approved fire suit and helmet, and then it’s time to get on the track! You will be piloting a race prepared Ford Mustang GT with an instructor riding shotgun to help you apply the lessons from the classroom session. Your instructor will be there to guide and coach you through the application of this new found knowledge, and you will have the opportunity to push the car and yourself to their limits. There will be two on track sessions before lunch, and after each you will de-brief with your instructor and review everything you have learned. During the mid-day break you will enjoy a gourmet lunch with your instructor cadre, and have an opportunity to learn from their experience as they answer any questions you may have. After lunch the afternoon classroom will cover a much deeper explanation of the mornings topics as well as an overview of vehicle dynamics and a Q and A session before we hit the track for two more sessions of fine tuning what you have learned.
