Apex Driving Academy invites you to join us on November 17, 2007 and December 1st on the 1.3, We will be running (1) intermediate and advanced graduate groups; and (2) data acquisition. Due to the growing ranks of our graduates and our continuing desire to provide safe, quality, uncrowded education, we will have two grad groups, intermediate and advanced, limited to 18 students each. In addition, we will be using the Performancebox GPS-based data acquisition as a teaching aid for our grads, with a very limited number of units available to rent and use in your car. You can find the curriculum and new three group format on our website www.apexdrivingacademy.com.

Cost is still $195, you may register at our web site under events. This event is open to any car (no trucks or SUVs, please) and please wear long pants and sensible shoes. Driving suits are not required. You do need to (1) bring or rent ($10) a helmet; and (2) have your car inspected per the Tech Inspection sheet on our web site. There are only 18 slots available for this event in each run group (new student, intermediate and Apex Advanced). Every student will receive instruction, grads on an as-needed basis. Grads also get to go it alone, provided you are solo-qualified by us.

Also new for this event will be GPS-based Performancebox data acquisition. We have 2 units at present for rental, at $50 per day. If there is enough interest, we will have more for sale and rental in the future. We will be using actual student and instructor data to create track maps, show you details on the proper line, and much more. As we refine this teaching tool, you will also be able to take data with you and download it from our web site for further study.

This is High Performance Driving Education, not a timed event or competition! There will be instruction at this price point! All safety aspects will be covered in the first classroom session, which starts promptly at 9:00am. You will need to sign no later than 8:30am. Bring drinks, snacks, and sunscreen; don’t get dehydrated!

For better stability when driving, we also have the lap belt cinch CG-Lock – try it free and buy it if you like it. It will hold you in your seat much better than the factory lap belt and installs in about 2 minutes.

Yes price is $195.

Yes you will have an instructor in the car with you 100% of the time until you get approved to solo.

Six 20 min sessions.

That is completly dependant on your skills. It is very rare to solo your first time on the track. You may get moved up to Inter on the first day.

I have students that may be novices forever and I have some that are moving up fast.

Your ability to listen plays a big part also.
