Not sure how many of you have heard about the Bragg-Smith Advanced Driving School in Las Vegas, Nevada, but I'll be attending the two day school on March 7th - 8th, 2002.

As you all know, there's more to driving a fast/quick car than straight (inline), and we find ourselves in defensive positions almost everyday on our roadways.

quote:
"There is simply no comparison to our driving programs. The exercises that our students go through are extremely intense and leave them with a new understanding of how to interact with a vehicle. What's more, aside from our new 2000 Chevy Impala skid car, all lapping sessions and exercises are conducted in Corvettes and Camaros!"

It is a two-day intensive Advanced Driving School where you'll spend about 90 - 95% of your time behind the wheel of a new Camaro SS, a Corvette Z06 and a Corvette Z51 Coupe. You'll learn proper seating, proper shifting, visual scanning, ABS, skid control, heel & toe, balance...and when all these come together as building blocks, SPEED!

Joining me on this venture are members from:

  • Central Pennsylvania Camaro Club
  • Lehigh Valley Camaro Club
  • American Camaro Assn
  • Western Michigan Camaro Club
  • World Wide Camaro Camaro Club
  • And of course...The "F-Body Father" so that he can observe, point and giggle at us

I'll take my laptop computer with me and connect remotely to update you all on how the days go. It's going to be very intense and I'm sure it will be taking a lot out of all of us, but I'll keep you all updated on how it goes. I'll also bring back photos and plenty of video. I've heard great info about this school!

I'll be keeping you all informed...
