Exclamation THE LEARNING CURVE - Chicago Region Solo drivers school

The Learning Curve


SOLO
A fun, inexpensive, safe way of testing your driving ability and car performance. Solo events are a form of automotive competition in which one car at a time negotiates a prescribed course in the shortest possible time. The events are open to anyone who has a sports car, compact or small sedan. The only requirements to compete are a valid state driver's license and a car which will pass a safety technical inspection. Drivers compete in numerous car classes for stock street cars, modified street cars, race prepared cars and modified race cars.

THE LEARNING CURVE
Chicago Region Solo drivers school is an excellent way to learn about and become involved in Solo events. It is a two-part school that consists of a classroom session and a day and a half of on track instruction. Instruction will be provided by experienced, award winning drivers (many with National Championship credentials). Because the entry is limited to only 100 students, there will be a very favorable student/teacher ratio allowing for maximum driving time and personal instruction. The school is for novice drivers with less than one year or no solo experience. Students must attend both days.

COST: $100

WHEN: Saturday April 1, 2006 Sunday April 2, 2006
8:00am - 5:00pm 8:00am - 5:00pm

WHERE: Route 66 Raceway, Joliet, IL

I would love to do this!!
I can't make the solo school(in Jersey for work) but the events might be a go even though I have no experience.

Has anyone does this before with little or no experience?

Sure, you don't have to attend the school, but it helps.

The Solo community is very friendly, and veteran racers are always willing to help other racers out.

Hope to see you out there.

Sounds very tempting, but how many cars show up every year, would love to get some time in not a one laper.
