With the success of last fall's clinic with Chuck Hawks, we're bringing it back this spring even bigger and better... this time two days worth on VIR's South Course!!!
There are only 25 seats available for this Driver Advancement Program. Chuck Hawks, professional coach, will lead the clinic both in classroom, and on the track and skid pad. Here are some of the things you can look forward to:
- Intensive classroom instruction
- Exercises to improve basic but extremely important motor skills
- Communication skills to improve through learning from and sharing with others
- Techniques to get and stay "In the Zone"
- Excercises that improve Traction/Grip sensing ability
- On-track exercises you don't see in normal DE schools (Including exercises to improve comfort in traffic and in-turn passing)
- Awareness enhancement
- Go faster naturally and understand why
- Chuck Hawk's clear, organized, professional instruction at a fraction of what he charges the pros!
RDAP clinic Registration Fee: $325 (this is a two-day clinic)
NEW! As of February 17th, we are now offering a Novice Driver's Education option for this event!
Drivers at least 18yrs old, with less than 5 drivers education events can enter the Novice HPDE event. You will receive classroom and in-car instruction over the course of the weekend. This will be a relaxed, safe, and fun environment to experience closed-circuit, road course high performance driving at its finest.
Entry for Novice run group: $349 (this is a two-day program, instructor included)
We also have the option of our normal advanced lapping entry. You will be guaranteed at least 3 hours of track time each day. Because we won't be as spread out, and because of the size of the track I am capping the number of lapping slots available at 40.
Lapping registration fee: $225 for Saturday OR Sunday, $375 for both
Event requirements
If you are interested in signing up for the rEvolution Performance Driver Enhancement clinic, you must meet one or more of the following requirements:
- Advanced or Instructor level DE driver(examples: A or B group with BMWCCA, Blue or Red group with TZC/THSCC, HPDE3 & 4 with NASA, etc.)
- Competition license in good standing (examples: SCCA, BMWCCA Club Racing, NASA Competition, etc.)
- Have solid recommendations (if you're an intermediate driver and are interested, please email us with your recent experience, the last two instructors you had, and/or the name of the organization you ran with.)
Attendees for the clinic and the lapping should already have a very firm grasp on all the basics of high performance driving. The clinic is designed to enhance what you already know and introduce new techniques to help you develop even further as a driver.
This is the PERFECT clinic for you if you are considering the following:
- Instructing
- Wheel-to-wheel racing
- Lapping days or Solo HPDE groups with open passing
Novice HPDE
The Novice HPDE group is open to any driver over 18 years old with most street legal vehicles. (Sorry, convertibles must have a structural, compeition approved roll bar and drivers must be able to pass a broomstick test with helmet on.)
This group will get four 30-minute track sessions each day, including an in-car instructor and in-class instruction between track sessions. Your instructor will have the option to sign you off to solo (in your run group) on Sunday.
Advanced Lapping
This group is open to drivers with at least 10 HPDE weekends and/or at least 3 years combined track experience. Track time will be plentiful (at least three hours available EACH day.) Passing will be anywhere with a point. (If you do not already have open lapping or solo group experience, I HIGHLY recommend you participate in the RPDE Clinic before signing up for an open passing group.)
Drivers have the choice of signing up for one, or both days of lapping
