From the Flyer, the Sessions will be...
Session 1, Thursday March 13. The Tire and Weight Transfer - Typical tire characteristics will be presented and discussed. Of particular interest will be how the tire's adhesion varies with load will be emphasized. Load on a tire varies with weight transfer, so lateral and longitudinal weight transfer will be presented. The traction circle for a tire and for the complete vehicle will be discussed.
Session 2, Thursday March 27. Driving Techniques - The tire, weight transfer, and the traction circle dictate how the car should be driven at the limit. We will discuss driving on a skid pad, slalom, acceleration and braking, trail braking, shuffle steering, and the importance of being smooth.
Session 3, Thursday April 17. Car Testing and Setup - Skid pad testing, slalom testing, brake balance testing. Considerations for car setup will be discussed in an open forum.
Expect each Session to last approximately 2 hours. No food or drink will be provided. But a soda machine is close by.
