The fine folks at Equipe Rapide are bringing the Evolution Driving school to the DFW area April 27-29, 2007.
There are several classes to choose from based on your experience level and previously attended schools.
I need to save some ::2Cents:: so I can get in a class or two this year! ::Banana::

I thought they were looking to re-schedule it due to the conflict with the Walnut Ridge National Tour? It might be a little hard to get enough instructors if all of the best drivers are at Walnut Ridge.
If you read the banner ad carefully, you'll see that they're solving the Instructor problem by using Insturctors... But it has a real purty yellow Miata in it!Quote:

As far as instructors on the board go, there are two schools of thought:Quote:

Its good to have choices when it comes to driving instruction.
Wow... I've never heard him quite that talkative.Quote:

Don't forget he's drawing cryptic diagrams on a kleenex using a crayon when he's telling you this. BTDT. ;)Quote:

You got a crayon and a kleenex? I'm still trying to get the lipstick off of my dash. :punchout:Quote:

I am saddened to announce that for the first time in over a decade, Equipe Rapide will NOT be hosting any Evolution Performance Driving schools at Mineral Wells this year.
I have been working hard for over a month to re-schedule the Mineral Wells dates, but ultimately too many factors have come into play to allow me to reschedule. Some of the many factors that led to this decision are date conflicts with the National SCCA and other local car clubs and increasing expenses for travel, hotel, and other items associated with hosting the schools.
Hopefully we will be able to host the schools next year.
For those who can make it, there may still be space available THIS WEEKEND at schools in Texarkana.
The Red River Region is hosting Evo phase 1 and 2 at Texarkana Regional airport on Feb 10/11. Andy and Anne Hollis are expected to be the instructors. Full info is available at http://www.txkautox.com/viewtopic.php?t=33
Thanks for your interest,

Andy used my car to test the courses. The fastest NC did a 31.2 sec as his best, I did a 31.3. Andy did a 30.4 in my car. Everyone was on street tires.
There were only six students in the Phase 2 on Sunday. By the end of the day I was starting to get things together. Four different courses, we only got to walk the first. The next three we ran without walking. Can anyone say "Look Ahead". But, we were allowed to visualize the course before we ran it. On my best run of the day, Andy just sat there and did not say a word. I was doing all the talking. Then I could not back that run up.
I did really bad during the "instructors revenge". The student rides and talks the driver (Andy) through the course by telling him when and where to look. I talked him into missing a few gates. I am having trouble with that verbalizing part.
If I could get 25 runs every day, especially with Andy coaching, I think I might be able to learn to drive a Miata.:burnrubr:
Oh, and it was cold.
