So I see on the AutoX Calender the BMW street survival is listed for Saturday, Mar 5, 2011 at TMS.
Can anyone guide me to where I would go to sign my daughter up for the course?
I don't see this event on this link - http://www.streetsurvival.org/school-schedule.php
TIA!

I emailed Will Atkinson for info.
Is it really on a schedule somewhere or is Jimmy just messing with us........Quote:

From Will:
"Since the SS site didn’t get the school up on time I’m working on a new date that will give us a little more lead time. I’ll have two new dates up ASAP."
Cool, this is a great event. All the kids have a blast each time.

Any updates??
I think it is being rescheduled for August and October. But this Saturday there is a school at TMS.
What is Minimum Age? My kid is just 15 with a Texas learners permit.Quote:

:( I was going to refer some friends with teenage kids to this. I'll tell'em about it and keep up to date on the website and try to get them out to the next event that comes here.
For the poster asking about his kid with a permit
Quote:
Note: Student Driver Permit Requirements: Permitted drivers will be allowed in the Street Survival program if:
All conditions of the permit can be met in a safe manner, i.e. if the permit requires a licensed driver in the car at all times. If a parent is required to be in the car in addition to this then this student will not be allowed as it would require 1 passenger in the back seat of the car and that is considered too hazardous for the exercises in the school, and some times physically impossible.
and
The driver must have had their permit for a minimum of ½ the time required by the state holding jurisdiction over that permit, (not the state that the school is located in) i.e. if the permit must be held for 6 months before the driver can take their driving test then the student must have had the permit a minimum of 3 months. We suggest a minimum of 25 hours behind the wheel before taking the school.
The intent in this requirement is to be sure that the student has a lot of seat time in the car and for them to be as comfortable as possible.
We are not teaching them how to drive….. we are teaching them to drive better.
Many of the exercises have them doing things in a car that a new driver can become easily intimidated.
We suggest that new permitted drivers plan on returning in a year to take the course again after they get more experience.
The school was held last Saturday. My student had a learner's permit that required a licensed adult in the car. She was going to take her driver's license test today.
We had about 18 instructors and 24 students. The next Street Survival school is scheduled for Nov. 13th on the bus lot at TMS, the same day as Texas Region AX #9 at Lone Star Park.
Shoot cone-cerned next time I'll have you remind me! ::hal::
On another note, the construction crew has a Jersey Wall parallel to 114 now. They took about 20-25 feet off the bus lot. As cars drove the elements of the school, you could see clouds of dust being raised.
Maybe they will be through by Saturday for the BMW event.::Clown::
