The Rally Sport Region of (Porsche Club of America) has once again planned a “Women-Only” Track Driving education day for Tuesday, June 12th, 2007 at the Waterford Hills Raceway located in Clarkston, Michigan. This event will give women the opportunity to experience track driving and learn what their spouse or significant-other gets “all pumped up” about, without the “testosterone effect” and apprehension of having to drive on the track with the guys.
What you will learn:
All participants will receive a full day of 1 on 1 instruction and four 20 to 30 minute track sessions with a qualified and experienced RSR instructor in a very safe and controlled track environment. Classroom instruction will also be provided. You will learn the basics of track driving and vehicle dynamics and control during acceleration, braking and cornering. Whether or not you ever decide to try this experience again – what you learn on the track at this event will make you a safer driver on the street and may even save your life one day.
What you will need:
You will be required to provide your own vehicle: an every-day vehicle, a compact to midsized 2 or 4 door sedan with good condition street tires and fully functional 3-point seat belts for both the driver and front seat passenger is preferred. As an option – if you have experience driving your own or your significant-other’s track car, then that would also be OK to bring to this special event.
You will need a proper fitting helmet: either an SA-2000 (or later) automotive-rated or M (motorcycle DOT rated) helmet (must be a full motorcycle helmet- no “half-helmets” will be allowed). RSR only has five SA-rated “loaner” helmets available so please plan to bring your own helmet or borrow one.
Age, Drivers License and Vehicle Insurance requirements: All participants must be 18 years of age or older, possess a valid driver’s license and their vehicle must be fully insured. Participants under the age of 21 will require parental permission and attendance of at least one parent during the event.
This event will cost $130 per student for PCA (Porsche Club of America) members or spouses/significant-others of PCA members and $150 for non-PCA members. Lunch will also be provided.
