Maverick Driving Schools - Ladies First!<br />
By Kevin Hardison<br />
By the time you read this the first ever Advanced Time Trial<br />
school will have been held at the Mineralring in Mineral Wells,<br />
Texas. It was the warmup for the upcoming driving schools. We<br />
still have room for more students, instructors and volunteers.<br />
Volunteers and Instructors will get free timed fun runs at the<br />
end of each event . . . time and weather permitting. The schools<br />
are going to be kept small this year to maximize our students seat<br />
time. If you have a friend, even a non-Porsche one, that wants to<br />
experience what you already enjoy . . . please recommend one of<br />
our schools to them!<br />
To register to drive, instruct or volunteer for this year’s schools<br />
just email drivingschools@mavpca.org now to get on the email list for<br />
updates and more info.<br />
Ladies Only Autocross 105 - LA105<br />
Pennington Field - Euless, Texas - Saturday, <strong>February</strong> 15th<br />
Our traditional ladies school taught by some of our best lady<br />
drivers, many of them class winners at Parade! Guys are there just to<br />
setup the course, work corners and pick up cones. The top speeds are<br />
lower and all of the exercises are designed to help you learn to work<br />
with your car. Extra time is allowed to make sure you can gradually<br />
increase your speeds as your confidence grows.<br />
Threshold braking, slaloms and skid pads will be featured in the<br />
morning. An actual autocross will be setup and held in the afternoon.<br />
This is a fully instructed event and you will always have someone to<br />
help you throughout the day. Timed Fun Runs for workers and<br />
instructors at the end of the day.<br />
Intro to Autocrossing 101 - IA101<br />
Pennington Field - Euless, Texas - Sunday, <strong>February</strong> 16th<br />
This school shares the same format as the Ladies School from the<br />
previous day. Ladies can take both days if they wish to. This is the<br />
perfect introduction to how to attend an autocross. Students and<br />
Instructors will work the corners during the autocross to gain valuable<br />
insights. Timed Fun Runs for workers and instructors.<br />
Autocross 102 - AX102<br />
Mineralring - Mineral Wells, Texas - Saturday, March 8th<br />
Part 1 of our 2-day school featuring more exercises and a longer<br />
AX course. The egg-shaped skidpad is always a favorite. You will be<br />
able to try regular, increasing and decreasing slaloms. The high-speed<br />
threshold braking test allows you to experience controlled stops until<br />
you can stop on a dime! The Mineralring is perfect for exploring the<br />
limits of your car. Students will get the chance to learn what your ABS<br />
and Stability Control Systems will and will not do!<br />
