This is probably one of the safest track in our area to learn at, and probably one of the best 2 day driving schools to be had for this price.
Every student will have an instructor riding in their car during every run group for one on one coaching. You will also be allowed to/encouraged to ride in instructor vehicles.
There will also be classroom time for all students, and car control exercises for Novice and Intermediate groups. If you have questions about what group you belong in, please feel free to ask me.
Lodging is also very reasonable, and food is provided Friday and Saturday night as well as lunch at the track both days.
If you plan to go, I suggest signing up this week. You do need to be a Audi Club Member which I beleive is $44. If you have a significant other, you can add them for free if you own an Audi. :wink: You do not need to own an audi, or drive one at at this event if you do to participate.
