The Curriculum

Classroom Portion:

 2 hours:

The classroom portion covers proper hand position, seating position and we cover basic vehicle dynamics. All students will view a video to reinforce the concepts in class and learn what we will be doing on the training course.

Slalom Course:

This course is a serpentine set-up in a straight line with cones 60 feet apart. It is designed to teach weight transfer, steering wheel feel and control, throttle control, throttle oversteer, and judging distance.

Threshold Braking Course:

This course teaches the student to brake the car safety without getting the car in a full wheel lock-up if the car is not equipped with ABS brakes. If the student has a car with ABS brakes it teaches the student how ABS brakes function. The student will learn “Threshold Braking Techniques” this is where the student will bring the car’s braking to almost full lock-up learning to stop the car in the shortest possible distance. This allows the student to brake more effectively and safely thus reducing reaction time and braking distance required to stop (thus avoiding a possible crash).

Accident Avoidance Course:

This course teaches emergency evasive maneuvers and decision-making when confronted with emergencies. The student will take the concepts of the slalom course and threshold braking course and put them together to control the car and to “panic stop” the car in the shortest possible distance.
