Lotus Club at Waterford Hills: August 4th, 2009

Waterford Hills

About this event

Come join Great Lakes Lotus Club for our high performance driving school at Waterford Hills Tuesday, August 4th, 2009! All are welcome, beginner or expert, fast and not-so-fast, Lotus or not.  Not a race or a competition event, we offer a controlled environment with expert instruction.  This is a fantastic opportunity to practice performance driving techniques, learn how your car handles at high speed and under extreme cornering and experience what you and your car are really capable of!

Cost is $135 for Current Members.  If you are not yet a Member, then the cost for the day becomes $160 which includes membership (normally $25) through Calendar Year 2009.

If you have any questions or would like additional information regarding this school there is an Event Packet available for download at http://www.greatlakeslotus.com or you can contact Chris Price at (248) 705-4895 or by email at: track@greatlakeslotus.com.

  • Drivers will be grouped into several categories, paired with an in-car instructor or driving "solo" depending upon level of experience and ability.  Please contact us if you have any questions about this.
  • Passing will be allowed in designated areas and with a "point-by" from the lead car.
  • Great Lakes Lotus Club has arranged additional liability insurance for this event, but that insurance does not cover any damages that may happen to your car.  Any damage to your vehicle is your responsibility.  You need to read and understand the coverage and exclusions of your specific auto insurance policy and be prepared to assume the risk of participating in this school.
