Hi everyone,
I'm attempting to organize a group for one of the following two schools
offered by Skip Barber.
1. Intro To Racing ($525)
This school is 3 hours (1.5 hrs in the classroom and 1.5 hrs on the
track) and conducted in open wheel race cars. You get 3 10 lap sessions
in a lead/follow format. Meaning it is not wheel to wheel.
Essentially, the instructor goes first followed by the next car, then
the next, with 10 second intervals separating the cars. You will be
able to reach speeds up to 110/115 mph.
2. Driving School ($635)
This school is 8 hours long (2 hrs in the classroom and 5 hrs in the
cars and 1 hr for lunch). Some of the skills you will learn are
threshold braking, skid/slide recovery, emergency lane changes, and
accident avoidance to name a few. Ultimately leading up to auto
crossing. During the "learning" phase, you will be driving Neon ACR's
and Dakota's. For the auto crossing, you will be driving the Neon ACR's
and the Vipers. However the time you will be spending in the Vipers is
limited (30 min max). /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif The majority of the time you will driving the
Neons. Speeds of up to 70 mph may be achieved in the Vipers on the
autocross. The Neon, obviously considerably less. As many of you
already know, or found out the hard way, the Viper has 450 hp and is one
hell of a fun car to drive. The Neon ACR's have a horsepower rating of
130. They are race equipped, meaning a bit lighter than their street
worthy counterparts and a bit faster. Either way, it'll be fun to beat
the piss out of those little cars.
Additional facts:
If we get a group of 5 or more together (we must purchase the tickets
together) we'll receive a 5% discount.
Both schools are held at Lime Rock Connecticut. Roughly 4 hours from
NYC.
The Intro to Racing school is booked until Oct. Dates available for this
school are Oct. 31, Nov. 5, and Nov. 6, 2001.
The dates for the Driving School are wide open.
