THE CHICAGO REGION of the SPORTS CAR CLUB OF AMERICA
is offering a 2 day SOLO (autox) driving school on
Saturday March 31 and Sunday April 1


Solo: a fun, inexpensive and safe way of testing your
driving ability and car

 

a bunch of us did this last year. it was the only event i did all year, but it was pretty fun. except for shagging cones when it was 40*F and raining sideways.

 

Not much event chairs can do about the weather, but on the other hand, how often can you practice crappy weather driving and not worry how may times you'll spin?

 

hey, you were my instructor, right? i'm definitely going to try to make a few events during the season this year. also had a friend who just got a mustang cobra (i think) who's pretty interested in going, so i'll have a little more motivation now.

 

That would be me

Glad you had fun at last years school despite the weather (although i did warn you to bring more than a t-shirt and a jacket for the 2nd day )

Talk to your friend, I'm sure we can pair him up with a great instructor, probably one who has a similar car too. It's a little easier that way than say have someone who's driven mostly FWD cars instruct someone with...oh say... an s2k

 

can i show up in a volvo?

 

As long as the car (aka. no SUVs) passes safety inspection (no loose wheel bearings, working brakes, not sticky throttle pedal, securely attached battery, no loose objects in the car - empty trunk, working seat belts) you're good to go

The emphasis here is on the driver, and how to improve him/her behind the wheel. The car you drive is just a tool in this scenario... well, there are just tools out there that handle better than others

 

Bump after a really nice weekend - hope we get similar weather for the school!

 

It's all about the spinning !!!

TLC - The Learning Curve - IS SOO FUN!!

 

It's so much fun my student never came back Maybe I broke his S2k??

Kidding!!!

We had a blast!! Even with his dual xh moded by his GF to a single with some curb rash!!
