About this event
Sunday, September 27, 2015, 8:00AM-5:00PM
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.
It's about more than driving - it's about LIVING!
All Schools $75.
Three parents, including Scott Goodyear, former Indy Car Champion, share their perspectives in this video.
Event requirements
The event starts at 8am and will end latest by 5pm. Please arrive early, parents are encouraged to stay.
Participants are required to have:
- A valid Ontario G2 or G Driver’s Licence, or equivalent, for each participant. A G1 licence is not accepted.
-
A car for each participant (alternatively, one car can be shared between 2 participants) – cars are NOT provided. Participants are encouraged to use the car they normally drive so they learn how their car would perform in an emergency.
- 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.
