2019 PADA Track School Dates
 
Can you believe it's already December and we are only a few weeks away from Christmas! Most of us have put our track cars away for the winter and are thinking ahead to next spring already. To that end, we are happy to announce that our 2019 course dates are now available and we have two new offerings this season.

As part of our extended PADA family, we are providing you early access to our XMAS special of $40.00 off if you sign up before December 31st, 2018. This will be the largest discount we will be offering this season and it is limited to the first 20 registrations.

XMAS Discount:
$40.00 off any course if you register before December 31st, 2018
Limited to the first 20 sign ups!!!

3 Courses in 2019:
Two Intro to Performance Driving Courses (April 27th, August 10th 2019)

Same great course which is a perfect "refresher" for those with limited experience.

NEW: Intermediate Performance Driving Course (July 6th, 2019)

Targeted to those who have taken our Intro course or have a few years lapping experience. We will focus on teaching you advanced skills such as heel toe, threshold braking, trail braking and advanced vehicle dynamics. The goal of the course will be to help lower those lap times and help you set a new personal best

Just a quick bump with 12 days left to go before Christmas!

This is the perfect opportunity for someone you know who's on the fence about going to the track in a safe but fun manner.

Cheers!

You're damn right I am! Hope you are too?

Only problem is that I'll be driving my Prius on track. Time for an on-track-review of the Prius on ice!

Just want to say I really enjoyed the intro course last year. I was in a white 13 CR-Z at the time. It was my first time on track ever, and I was really nervous about not crashing / being a hazard to other drivers. The event was managed in a very safe manner. Same goes for the one lapping evening I did after the school last year. The school inspired me to buy a more dedicated car (the FR-S) since I realized I would be doing it a whole lot more. The CR-Z just isn't quite up to tracking, the batteries run out after a lap, the trans gets way to hot, and the torsion beam rear suspension makes its presence known. Although in hindsight it was good to do my first event with FWD because RWD adds much more "drama".



After the intro school finished / before I drove home I watched some random lapping from some other organization. The amount of "don'ts" I saw was scary. Including pulling / on off the track in a dangerous manner, the number of cars on the course etc. I'm contemplating signing up for the intermediate school this year, but I only have two lapping sessions with the FR-S (one wet/one dry). I feel I need to practise the basics from the intro session a bit more before I could get the best value out of a whole day of instruction. Maybe getting some in-car instruction during a PADA lapping evening might be the next step.


Will there be private lapping days before the intermediate school takes place?

Thanks for the kind words! As for private lapping days, we still haven't finalized the schedule yet but it'll be up within the next couple of months. We usually pair up with a Club and offer those.

Hey guys! Our intermediate course still has room for the class on July 6th (Sat.)!

The intermediate course is designed for those of you who've been out to the track, taken some basic instruction and now are working on properly attacking personal bests.

In this course we move up to more advanced techniques such as trail braking, threshold braking and the more intricate details of weight balance and what to look for in data gathering.

PM me for a deal so you can sign up HERE: https://www.motorsportreg.com/events...ts-park-079589

Cheers!

Will there be another Intermediate course this year?
I am away on vacation in early July but would like to follow-up my April Beginner course, which was fantastic, after getting a couple lapping sessions under my belt.
