slidemaster Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Do you have a link to where we can get more info.? The School's website is www.barberdrivingexperience.com- We will maintain a 3-1 ratio of instructors to students and will have some trackside support as well. Instruction includes ground school, private 1 on 1 in your car some filming will be done (which Ford has asked for) The track is rented that weekend by www.opentrackracing.com, we have run private training with them before and they run a very safety driven low key event. This is not a race, this is a performance driving event with additional safety, run groups and support. I look to have a great group of instructors to assist. Including a former chief instructor at Bondurant/D1 driver that runs road courses for the Nascar Nextel cup and Busch series. A Socal driver that currently holds 7 lap record as well as some great SCCA Solo instructors and Time Attack winners. We will also have 2 BDX prepped 2006 Mustangs there hot lapping with their owners. Man I cant wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
