I'm interested in signing up for one of the DDA sessions, either the one at Willow Springs this weekend or the one at 86fest next month. I'm thinking of attending the DDA this weekend because I think that there will be a smaller turnout, but I don't know if there will be a difference as to course layout and the material covered during the class. Any recommendations?

Turnout looks pretty small so far. Would mean more time on the course.

It'll probably have similar lessons to learn. As far as the course goes, they will most likely make it up there as they go. At least that's what they did last time. There's also a night event to watch after the DDA so that's a plus. I say do both if you can afford it. lol

More time learning about the car won't hurt either.

Can't make it this time. Visiting my mother in law and my parents that weekend.

There will be a difference in course layout to match and maximize the specific shapes and obstacles so we can ensure safety.

However the experience won't be much different and each lesson will be specifically catered to each driver as he/she develops further skills to better themselves as a safe, consistently safe, and translating in faster and more reliable driver too.

Since we are not training for any specific type of motorsports, but more a general skill set that is the foundation of all sports driving, we can cater each driver with what he needs to learn at any specific given level. And also more specifically learn what he or she is doing wrong, to make a better driver out of everyone not just on the track but on the streets too with better idea of what they can do with a FRS/BRZ and more...

It's all about FUN and PLEASURE of maximizing your car through skills and driving element, less on expensive equipment... so you can keep enjoying it for your lifetime.

So, is this more of an auto-cross type training academy? with pylons set up everywhere, or will we be driving the track a little as well?
