I attended the Evolution driving school in Tavares this weekend! What a blast! It was an intense two day event for autocrossing sponsored by the nice people at IS300.net. The weather was generally awful, but I learned a few things about my S in the wet! I have a few pictures I'd like someone to post if possible. Let me know an email address to send these to for someone to post.

Scott,

Can you pm or em me some info on the driving school? A few of us at work want to organize an even for the Firm. My S, a 350, RX-8, some MBs, Porche, etc.

Thanks in advance,
Shay

 

So, what are your detailed impressions? How many cones did you hit and how many spinouts?

 

Go speed racer, go speed racer, go speed racer go!

 

My overall impression is that this school is a must for anyone wanting to learn the limits of their car..whatever you drive. We weren't counting cones this weekend...I think that was a good thing, because I hit my share (slalom issues). I thought the rain was a plus. I really have a new appreciation for what the car can do. I had one spinout on a sweeping turn (too much throttle). The school was exceptional & and the instructors were very knowledgable. We had a nice mix of cars: miatas, corvettes, IS300s, rx-7s, mr2s, & even a mini. If one of our CO's is so inclined to organize such an event locally, I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
Dave, thanx for posting the pics for me, did you get the splash pics?

Scott, who were your instructors? Was Jean one of them?

 

No, Jean could not be there. Forgive me for not knowing last names, but our instructors were Mark (?Jeans husband), Tim (mr-2 driver), and Darren (miata driver).

 

 

Troy, this is how you are supposed to drive through puddles!
