TWO DAY ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE SCHOOL

An offshoot of the Dodge/Skip Barber Driving School, the Ultra High Performance Program is for experienced drivers looking for the thrill of high speed and high g-load exercises. As in all programs, the Vehicle Dynamics message is emphasized to convey the importance of physics as it relates to vehicle safety, balance and car control. Dodge Neons, Dakota trucks and the 500HP Viper SRT-10 act as rolling classrooms over the two day program. In addition to autocrossing, braking and skidpad, a champagne slalom, timed figure-8 exercise and advanced powerslides help to wrench up the fun factor.

$1,295

we didn't do ant before and after with times

but i know i picked up a lot

I am a lot better with weight transfer and picking up on underster not to load up the front tires.

I find i am using much less steering angle but turning sharper and harder because i am now getting full potential and not overloading the tires

I can't wait for the next auto-x iat the end of this month
