April 10-11, 2010 Parktown Carrera Classic Driving School!

The Carrera Classic, our bi-annual driver education event, is a great opportunity to learn and practice the techniques of high performance driving on the 1.6 mile road course at Gateway International Speedway.

If you are not quite ready to drive in the event, but would like to learn the fundamentals and feel of high speed driving, we will again offer the “High Performance Experience”. HPE students will attend classroom education sessions and ride on the track with an instructor. Participants must be 18 years of age or older. HPE Students can apply their $35 enrollment fee to driving school enrollment within 1 year of HPE attendance.

Qualified advanced group drivers can register for Saturday or Sunday or both.

Back by very popular demand, the lunchtime charity laps will be held each day. For a donation of $20 to the event’s designated charity anyone with a valid driver’s license may drive around the road course at moderate speeds. Sign up will be at the track.

If you have any questions or any problems registering online, please contact event co-chairmen, Geoff Baltz and Mike Rosen. You may contact them by email: deinfo at stlpca.org

There are usually 4 or 5, even 2 or more instructors have/drive MINIs. I will be there even though I will not be in a MINI.

If you haven't been to a driving school, here is your chance, and it is close by.

Hugely disapointed that I have to cancel. My MINI just ate a drive belt and there is not time enough to figure out why and get it fixed.

Looking forward to next track event.
