Drivers’ Ed Event 3, continued: Wrapping Up the Spring Series By Lori Mauthe, DE Chair Our one-day event at Eagles Canyon Raceway started out with a questionable weather forecast. We watched the big black clouds circle and swirl above us to the north. We learned the meaning of “isolated showers,” as we could see the rain off in the distance, yet we only had a quick shower to wet the track, and then Mother Nature moved on to the east. Yeah – the day was moderately cool and partly cloudy – perfect for a great day at the track. We tried a different schedule for this event. With the high demand of first time novice students, we created two Green groups, and combined the Yellow and White groups. This allowed us to have 40 new students participate. Our instructors teams stepped up Cyndee Ebeling (foreground) with instructor Lisa Steele photo by Mark Ebeling and everyone learned a lot and progressed. The team leads and instructors now can log student Gareth Maurice with daughter Abbey photo by Brendan Eagan progress on iPads, and show students track videos prepared by our experts to help them understand the nuances of high performance driving. Thanks to Chief Driving Instructor John Sandusky, we continue to bring improvements to the Maverick DE program! A picture says it all – How much fun can you have at a one-day Driver Education event? A ton! Just ask first timer Cyndee Ebeling, on grid for her Green run group session. Lisa Steele, her instructor, showed her the way to really enjoy her beautiful black 911. I just love seeing more women coming out to our events, and progressing to the point that they are joining our instructor team. Photo credits as noted We had another wonderful young lady join us for the day -- Abbey Maurice, daughter of Region VP Gareth Maurice, who also leads many of our Sunday Drive events. Today they led the Parade Laps at lunch to raise money for the Susan G. Komen for a Cure Foundation. Abbey also assisted on grid, checking for driver and car safety with Travis Howard, our Grid Master Extraordinaire. Special thanks to Bob Benson and his team of corner workers for keeping us safe all day. What can happen when you carry a bit too much speed into Turn 11 photo by Abbey Maurice Early in the day, drivers coming around turn 11 may go a bit wide and kick up some dust, but by the end of the day they were getting to the apex of the turn and faster down the straightaway. With the close of our Spring season, we take a Summer break and will return to MotorSport Ranch in Cresson, the weekend of September 21-22, and registration will open six weeks in advance. We look forward to seeing you there! Wanted: Drivers’ Education Series Chair for 2014 Season! For business reasons, Peter and Lori Mauthe are relocating to another PCA region, so Lori will be passing on the DE Chair baton to someone new. Are you interested? Please contact her at scmink2@earthlink.net to learn more about this rewarding position. Ideally, we would like to get someone in place for the Fall season to transition and mentor during the last three events of the year. 14 <strong>July</strong>
