Hi,
It's one of those annoying "asp" format pages.
The following is excerpt. Russell Racing School is very convenient
for me because it's 45 minutes away from my home.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Jim Russell High Performance Course puts you in the driver's seat of your own performance car and trains you how to get the most out of it. Personal instruction, a wide-open track without speed limits, and best of all, not a policeman in sight. That's what you'll get in the High Performance Course.
The course begins with a brief introduction and ground school to get you comfortable with the terms we'll be using during the day. We'll examine what it takes to keep a car under control as you get closer and closer to the limits of adhesion.
From there, it's out to the cars to work with you one-on-one, introducing you to the driving techniques you'll be using out on the race track later in the day. We cover in detail heel and toe downshifting, threshold braking, and all the aspects of balancing the car to properly enter, apex, and exit a corner. We'll show you how to find the proper line through a corner and more importantly, how to recognize when you're "off line" and how to get back on course.
You'll spend plenty of time in our SkidCar learning the differences between understeer skids and oversteer skids and what input you need to make as a driver to control them. You'll also participate in an exercise that we call our "lane-change simulator." Here you'll see first hand how well you react to avoiding an accident, and what you can do to avoid a real one in the future.
After a great lunch at a local winery, you're going to put everything you have learned to the test when you take your car out onto the track at Infineon Raceway. You'll learn the "racing line" using a lead and follow exercise. Then you'll drive the track and employ the skills you learned with one of our professional racing instructors at your side. After some personal instruction and individualized critiquing you're free to experience the true performance your car was designed for.
The Jim Russell High Performance Course is a full day of instruction with over 80% of the time spent behind the wheel. This course does require that you use your own car and it must be in good mechanical condition. Owners of convertible cars may participate in the entire course if the car is equipped with factory installed rollover protection, otherwise participation is limited to the off-track exercises.
High Performance Course Cost: $750
