ALL 2006 SCHOOLS ARE NOW CLOSED. SEE YOU IN 2007!

Ladies and Teens Autocross

Pennington Field - Saturday, February 18, 2006

This is our traditional ladies only school taught by our best lady drivers. This year we are including teens (16- and 17-year olds with proper paperwork) in this low-stress learning environment. Many instructors are class winners at the Porsche Parade. Guys are just there to set up the course, work corners, and pick up cones during this very well organized school. Top speeds are lower, and all of the exercises are designed to help you learn about your car. There is plenty of time to gradually increase your speeds as your confidence grows. This is a great school for ladies that want to get ready for the driving season, or just “give it a try.”

Autocross 101 ­ Introduction

Pennington Field – Sunday, February 19, 2006

This school is the same format as the Ladies and Teens School the day before, but is open to the gentlemen as well. Ladies are welcome to join either day, or both! This school is the perfect introduction on how to attend an Autocross. Students drive exercises in the morning followed by a real Autocross in the afternoon. Students and instructors “work” the corners to gain experience as an observer as well as a driver. Fun runs at the end give volunteers and instructors a chance to join in as well.

Time Trial 103

Mineral Wells – Saturday, March 4, 2006

This school provides a specific focus on the Maverick Time Trial courses. It includes multiple laps on courses that are higher speed than the Autocrosses. Students learn higher speed handling and transitions in portions of the Time Trial courses in the morning. The afternoon is devoted to an actual Time Trial.

Autocross 102

Mineral Wells – Sunday, March 5, 2006

Though similar in organization to Autocross 101, the Mineral Wells venue allows for more and different exercises, and a larger Autocross course. Autocross 101 is not a prerequisite, so feel free to attend Autocross 102 even if you cannot make it to 101. Mineral Wells is the perfect location to explore the limits of your car. Students will learn what the car can, and cannot do, in a safe environment.

General Info:

• The schools are expected to be sold out. We limit the number of students to ensure full instruction for everybody. This means: Register early to ensure your spot!
• The Porsche club member cost is $35 for each school. (This must be the bargain of the century for instructed driving schools!)
• Non-Porsche Club, and late (2 weeks before event) registrations will cost $45.
• Porsche Club members that sign up more than 2 weeks in advance will have priority. Acceptance e-mails, along with school details, will be delivered approximately 2 weeks prior to the school.
• Helmets are required. They must have a SNELL 95, SNELL 2000, or SNELL 2005 rating. If you don’t have a helmet, loaners will be available. You will be asked to purchase a head sock for $5 (or bring your own).
• All cars must have a Maverick Region technical inspection prior to the schools. This ensures that any problems are fixed prior to showing up at the track. Inspections may be performed at Mayo Performance in Euless or Autoscope in Plano. Download the Technical Inspection Form. Please contact Bryan Bell at tt@mavpca.org, or Brian Petri at ax@mavpca.org for more details.
• We need volunteers to help put on the school. Please consider “giving back” by helping out with setup, running, and taking down the event. We need you to register online so we know you are coming.
• If you have any questions, please contact Tom Snodgrass at drivingschools@mavpca.org or call at home 972-939-7967.
