Evolution School in Salina KS.

I did this last year. It was the closest EVO I,II & III school I found.


ANNOUNCING:
The Salina Region Evolution Schools for 2013



Salina Region will put on its annual Evolution Performance Driving Schools on April 19-21 (Friday-Sunday). Whttps://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&i...=emb&zw&atsh=1e could possibly have three different schools. Many of the Evolution instructors are SCCA national champions.
We are again scheduling a Phase 1, a Phase 2 and a Challenge School.
● Phase 1 (Friday, April 19) – This is the basics, Autocross 101. Lines, apexes and how to find them, common autocross maneuvers. Lots of seat time. Evolution does require a Phase 1 before moving on to more advanced schools.
● Phase 2 (Saturday, April 20) – This is the next step, Autocross 102. You begin to learn techniques that translate to quicker times on course. You really should do this next before taking other courses.
● Challenge (Sunday, April 21) – This one polishes the lessons learned in P1 and P2 with different exercises on a new course. The challenge is, at the end of the day, your instructor takes a couple of runs in your car ... can you beat him?
Class costs
Each one-day school will be $260. If you take two schools you get a $35 discount ($485), for all three schools there’s an $80 discount ($700).,
The school is sanctioned by SCCA which means all attendant costs apply. SCCA has now mandated that all autocross participants be SCCA members. To that end SCCA now offers a low-cost “Weekend Membership.” For the Evolution students this membership will be covered by Salina Region SCCA -- anyone not already an SCCA member will be given a free Weekend Membership which will cover all aspects of the weekend (including the separate Salina Region solo events also taking place on Saturday and Sunday). Also, a Weekend Membership is a $15 coupon towards a full SCCA membership.
A typical day
The Evolution schools strive for a 6:1 student/instructor ratio. This usually means maximum class sizes of 12 students if we use two instructors, or 18 if we bring in three. Or, we have even done two schools side by side with four instructors.
You do the schools in your own car. The day starts with registration and tech, just like a basic autocross, except it begins sharp at 8:30 a.m. and runs to about 3 or 4 in the afternoon with a lunch break. Students go out 2 or 3 at a time, 1:1 with their instructors. When your session is not on course you will either be working the course or getting ready for your next time out.
During the lunch break and at the end of the day debrief sessions go over what everyone has learned. Lunch is provided by the Evans Stadium concession stand. All students get a coupon. Order whatever you like.
How to enter
All registrations are now handled through the Evolution website -- www.evoschool.com.
Signup is available right now by going to the Evolution website and clicking on SHOP EVOLUTION and then “Schools.” Then add the schools you want to your shopping cart. For multiple-school discounts, you must use the “Multi-School” links. (When you go to “Checkout” the website will ask you for account information: Name, address, payment, etc.).
Companion events
There will also be a Salina Region autocross Saturday and another on Sunday. These are separate events. Entry (member price is $25, or $40 both days) is not included in the school entry fee.
We do not recommend attempting to do the autocross and a school on the same day, but it gives you something to do on your off day if any. Or to put into immediate practice what you learned in Phase 1.
To enter the autocross, go to the pre-registration on the Salina Region website -- www.salinascca.com -- a few days prior to the event. Entry fee is paid on-site the day of the event. You will pay the member price, even if you are not a full SCCA member, because your SCCA weekend membership is included in your Evo School entry fee.
