*** CANCELLED *** LSCBMWCCA Autocross Event #2 - April 19, 2009 - La Grave Field

[jrj512]

Miatamoto and myself are desigining this course. La Grave Field (where the Fort Worth Cats play baseball) is in town (just south of Downtown Fort Worth) and it's easy on tires.

You get eight runs.

More info here.

You must pre-reg at www.dlbracing.com.

The Hudson's will be out in force that day. Brad, Kyle and Lee will be attending. The red car is up and running well. I am waiting on the suspension, but plan to drive it with or without to break in the car.

Are you trying to sell that as a possitive aspect of the event???

It is a driver's ed that I think is targeted at teens. It goes into car control skills that our normal driver's ed completely lacks.

I think Miatamoto (one of the instructors) summed it up pretty well when he explained that all of the kids show up with a Dad-made-me-do-this attitude, but they are quickly smiling when they discover that they will be learning how to slide and oversteer.

Yep, I instructed a girl that was shy and would hardly talk much at the beginning that ended up having a good time throwing the car around the slalom and skidpad. They drove down from Houston in a 1986 BMW 325E with 340,000+ miles on it. The power steering hose failed so it was manual steering in the afternoon which was interesting.

If anyone knows some teens that could use some car control skill work and is 21 or under make sure they register ASAP.

Street Survival

This is drivers ed that puts the young drivers in accident avoidance situations that they normally would never experience. This allows them to be able to react properly when they get into a bad situation.

It's great training and a lot of fun for the students. Lunch and a couple of classroom sessions are included.

Thats not what i was saying smarty pants, I was just saying that I've never been made to pre-pay. Also I don't have a paypal account so that makes it a little difficult as well. But I guess theres a first for everything and whens a better time then now to sign up for paypal.
