About this event
Welcome to Philly Region's 3rd (and final!) Novice School of 2008!
The school will consist of a classroom session and a driving session, plus the chance to show what you learned. The classroom session will be held at JSC Speed in Montgomeryville Saturday August 23, from 1 PM until 4 PM. The driving portion of the school will be held at Boeing in Ridley Park on August 24th from 8 AM to 4 PM. Both the classroom session and the driving session will be taught by some of our finest national competitors. In the classroom session we will be discussing the finer points of car control. The Saturday session is mandatory for those wishing to enter the school. The cost of the school is $125. Lunch will be provided. We will have hoagies for lunch, so please select your preference on the registration form.
Each student will also receive one free entry to a Philly Region Solo event (not including weekend membership fees).
