Car Control School/Ian Law Racing Proposal for you.
As many of you know I'm an instructor at a two-tiered Car Control School, with a Racing division. I have a proposal for you, and hope you'll take me up on my offer.
I want to setup a day for specifically your club, in Whitby where we have our Basic and Advanced Autoslalom (also called Solo II) schools.
We will cover in five exercises:
1) Skidpad (check out the effectiveness of lowered cars, stock height, tire selection, tire pressure). We will learn the effects of understeer and oversteer and how to throttle steer.
2) Braking box: Thresh-hold braking, and ABS manipulation, as well as the effectiveness of lowered cars, and those with high suspension modifications. Can you stop quicker? We will teach you how.
3) Slalom: See the effectiveness of suspension modifications. What works and what hinders high performance driving. Learn slalom techniques, and how to get the most out of your car and yourself. This is a great introduction into a big part of Solo II.
4) Collision avoidance: Brake to scrub off speed and get out of the lane that an obstruction is in. Power around and back into the lane you were in, to safely restore the flow of traffic behind you. Here we'll see the benefits of big brakes, AND the benefits of smaller brakes (in some cases).
In the afternoon, after lunch that we provide (Pizza Hut), we'll switch it up, and create a mock AutoSlalom (SoloII), type course. If you've always wanted to try your hand at this, here is your chance.
All of the above is covered in our "basic" school. We then have an Advanced Autoslalom School for those who want to prepare to compete in Solo II.
Our next schools are the Track School at Shannonville and Mosport.
We have taught the OPP, Haliburton Health Unit, Subaru Club, Prelude Club, Mazda Miata club, Viper club and many more. I want to extend this to you, and start igniting some real passion for competitive driving. Trust me, what you think you know now, you do not. Its truly a thrill, a rush and something you won't forget. Its also a great "try-before-you-buy" for competitive driving. Can you tell I love this stuff?
We can do groups of up to 25. Come out and cheer on your friends and watch how their cars handle and run, from an "outside" perspective as well. Here you'll really see what works and what doesn't.
Cost: $150 perr person for the day, which includes lunch and a certificate.
To the organizing individual from this club, who organizes this day with the club, will get their course paid for.
Check out our credentials at www.carcontrolschool.com.
I will provide dates for you to choose from soon.
BTW: We're at the autoshow on the Skydome 100 level. We have a bright yellow Viper there. Stop in and say hi. Tell whoever is there, that you're talking to Cam about a school date. You can check out the videos we have about the school, and get a feel for whether you're interested or not.
... just don't ask about the red stripped Civic that is a road-race car, and what it runs in the quarter.... you never know if a smart *** is going to tell you 9.8 @ 141 MPH.
EDIT: We can offer you the dates of:
June 22nd, July 27, August 17, 24, Sept 7, 21 and others in Oct.

I may be interested, depending on if my car still runs by then (it may be torn down for a turbo install). I think this is a great offer, and should be made to be a TCC day out 
I really hope everyone comes.

Does your school provide the vehicles? If so, what vehicles do you offer?

Second, you bring your own car. Since this is the vehicle you will be driving most, and encountering these situations, it is best suited for the course.
If you guys get really organized we can do a wheel swap on site to check out the advantages of different sizes and brands on the skid-pad and slalom.

Anyone interested in auto-X should check this out to avoid a great deal of embarassement at a local event. My first time out was a complete disaster, I drove like a jackass and was all over the course. 
I even missed the stop box. 
Well, it was a great deal of fun though. Noobs at these events stick out like sore thumbs most of the time, so getting some laps under your belt will prevent this horrific experience that I had. These guys make it look easy...

Watch it 
, that's my opinon and reasoning, not a definitive answer. I just know, when I want to practice a manouver, or test out a new setup, I throw on the crappiest rubber, so I can skid at the lowest speed on dry pavement. I don't like doing it in snow (since my car doesn't do snow), or rain (due to hydroplaning and unpredictability). This is how I test my drift setup as well as new sway bars etc. It gives you a chance to see how your car would behave at higher speeds with better tires.

Do you need a G valid license to attend?
