Car Control Clinic
Sunday May 20th, 2012
Pomona Fairplex

This is always one of our favorite events.  This year we will be changing it up and moving it to the Pomona Fairplex to take advantage of a bit of history.
The Pomona Road Race course was home to many great legends like Carroll Shelby, Max Balchowsky, Bob Bondurant, and Richie Ginther from 1956 to 1963.


This is essentially a GIANT parking lot, but the Fairplex has preserved the historic road course outline with paving. We will take advantage of this and use a portion of the old track to set up our Auto-X.

We will also set up a second instructional station similar to what we have done in the past to simulate over and understeer conditions.  Bob Blizzard will once again come out to give instruction at this station.

The third station will be similar to the second but will work on a different skill set.

I would really like to attend this event, I have a race that same day and i will have to decide which one to give up to attend the other. Man it's a tuff choice but I'm kinda leaning more toward this event.

How much track time will we get?

Derek,

Track time always depends on attendance.

We have capped attendance at 50 cars for this event in the past which makes for a bunch of track time.

We normally hold our driver's meeting at 9-9:30AM, then start driving shortly thereafter, break for lunch at noon and begin driving again about 1PM.  We're normally picking up cones after 3PM.  The more help we get with the clean up / pick up, the longer we can drive!

I'm sure Lance will post details soon.

If you can make this one, you should.

See you at the track,

Dan  <2

Derek

yea im going to do my best to make this one!
its all going to depend on my 1st race of the season how i finish i think we are allowed to toss out our worst finish over all for the series and if so ill be there for sure. but i think ill probably end up going there anyways. just bummed because the 2 things i love doing the most happen on the same day and it sucks! lol

anyways ill keep checking back for more info but i'd really like to get on the track and open my car up a bit more than being on the small auto x course we were on the other weekend.

Hey Derek,
You will not be disappointed with this event.
I was really hoping to have all the details posted on this event, but we are waiting on the catering company to come back with food costs before I can finalize everything.

BUT as Dan says:
We will do a short driver's meeting in the morning.
We will have 2 driving stations set up.
Lunch
More driving in the afternoon
Clean up and a possible dinner

We always sell this event out at 50 cars and I have no doubt this will be the case again this year.
We always get a lot of driving time and we will be doing everything we can to ensure that everyone gets the same again this year.
