Are they allowing Day 2 only sign up this year? If so I'm definitely in (again)

wparsons · 03-02-2015, 05:35 PM

In the past you could sign up for just day 2 if you had completed something comparable to day 1 in the past, I don't see this year being any different.

What happens at these driving clinics? I am guessing you bring your own car and learn to drive with an instructor? Is there any prep work I need to do before I attend?

in terms of prep work, you need to make sure your fluids are in check, no leaks, and that your brakes work. Also cleaning out your car of all loose items saves time at the event.

the 2-day clinic starts off slow, with people doing skidpads and figure-8s, then on to j-turns, abs/braking exercises and basic slaloms.

The main point of the clinic is to get you comfortable pushing the limits of your car. It is amazing how difficult it is sometimes to get people to brake HARD and to flick the car into a rotation. The exercises help you focus on one thing at a time and get comfortable with getting the car loose.

on the 2nd day they'll be a basic autocross layout so you can put everything together.

these things sell out super quick, and if you've never been to anything like this then I suggest you do, it's a great value and you learn a lot.

This sounds pretty awesome. Never done anything like this or even owned a rwd before. So is this strictly going to be a a gt86/frs/brz function or will the be other cars out there as well?

All makes and models are welcome

Last year there were about 6-7 twins, 2 miatas, 4-5 WRX/STis, 2 M3s, etc etc

Even a Subaru Outback showed up

Lorico · 03-04-2015, 11:11 PM

Cool. I'm a bit confused on how to sign up. very interested in this. I'd definitely be in for the long drive down just for this. Too bad it's a 2 day function.

wparsons · 03-05-2015, 12:17 PM

Any make/model is welcome.

Registration is at the CASC open house at JRP, opens at 11:30am on Saturday March 28th. You can also register online (also starting at 1pm on the 28th). If you're registering in person, show up EARLY to get in line. Last year it sold out REALLY fast, like 10-15 minutes.

Here's some shots from last year:
