Orlando, FL-based Martin Sports Car Club is pleased to announce the dates of the long-awaited, second-coming of the grande autocross school! We will hold two single-day schools: Saturday February 20 and Sunday February 21.
The schools will be taught again by Skip Barber instructors Gerardo Bonilla and Matt Ferratusco; super veteran and legendary coach Marc “Hollywood” Dana; and long-time veteran and super duper fast guy Chris Wells.
We have reduced the cap to 16 drivers per day in order to provide even more – yes more! – seat time. You will receive 24 runs broken into four heats with six runs in each heat. You will work one-on-one with an instructor during each heat. The instructors will rotate throughout the day so you will work with each of the four instructors individually. The school will include brief classroom discussion, a thorough course walk-through in the morning (bring a pen!), and enough driving to blister not just your tires but also your hands! With so many runs in one day, we recommend using your old tires or a spare set for the school.
We will conduct two separate single-day schools with a cap of 16 students per day. To accommodate as many students as possible, we are limiting each student to one day only. If classes do not fill, we will allow you to register for the other day, on a “first come, first serve” basis. If you are interested in attending both days, please register for either Saturday or Sunday, then notify Matt Ferratusco at mferratusco@aol.com to be placed on a waiting list for the additional day. We will notify everyone ASAP if a second day is possible. Pre-payment is available via PayPal but not required.
Registration is open at My Auto Events until Wednesday, February 17, at 10 pm. Saturday registration Sunday registration
Cost per student is $120 per day. That cost includes lunch (Publix sandwich platter and other goodies) and water to keep you hydrated all day. Please bring other drinks you might prefer (non-alcoholic of course). Also, please bring pen, paper and don’t forget the sunblock!
Arrival time will be 7 - 7:15 am to change tires and prep your car. Class will begin promptly at 8 am. A brief classroom discussion will be followed by a thorough course walk, then laps, laps and more laps! We will utilize a two-group run/work format (similar to an Evolution school) in order to cover course worker positions. If you participated last year, the format is identical, except you will receive an extra run per round.
Be prepared to drive your heart out and have a blast! And learn a little bit, too…
