| Description |
Porsche Club of America-Chicago Region is hosting this unique opportunity to learn the fundamental skills necessary for car control from our talented members and instructors. Fundamentals include extreme braking, importance of vehicle balance, fastest and safest line through a turn and many other skills that directly transfer to daily driving, Autocross, high speed Driver’s Education and even racing! Experience what it looks and feels like to REALLY control your Porsche in a safe, controlled environment. Timeline: 7:30 – 8:30 Registration and Tech Inspection 8:30 – 9:00 Morning Classroom 9:00 Drivers Meeting 9:45 – 11:30 Morning Driving Exercises 11:30 – 12:00 Lunch 1:15 – 2:30 Afternoon Driving Exercises 2:45 – 3:00 Q&A 3:00 – 3:10 Drivers Meeting 3:10 – 5:00 Full Course Autocross Experience Who should attend? Anyone wanting to improve their driving skills, has a need for speed, or wishes to understand and experience the capability of their vehicle in a safe, closed-course environment. This is also great for folks who plan to participate in other extreme car control, Autocross or Driver’s Education events. What should I expect? Classroom and in-car instruction with a heavy emphasis on driving because we believe the best way to learn is to do it! The classroom sessions cover the fundamentals of performance driving and Autocross, the events our club use to test and improve these skills. You’ll also receive personal in-car instruction while navigating through various exercises marked by traffic cones. Finally, you’ll be coached by volunteer PCA-experienced drivers as you negotiate a complete, untimed Autocross course, at your own speed. This event will occur rain or shine (besides, some driving exercises are more fun in the rain!). Autocross School co-coordinators David Bowers, Adam Kern, and Joe Morsello, instructors Dana Comolli, Jenna Samp along with a whole host of volunteer instructors, will be putting on this first driving event of the season. Pre-registration by April 8th is required. Lunch and a t-shirt are included in the registration fee and must be ordered in advance. Those who do not pre-register by the 18th may not be provided lunch or a t-shirt. Cancellation policy: No refunds. Please be prepared to display a valid driver’s license. Minors must provide junior waivers signed by at least one parent (preferably both). Snell 2010 SA- or M-approved or newer helmets are required but a few loaner helmets will be available. See the sponsors section of our website for PCA Chicago supporters who can provide you with appropriately sized equipment to meet your needs. |
