Arrow MazdaDriverS.com March Track Event

Two Day High-Speed Driver's Education Track Events

A chance to drive on a world class racetrack, Virginia International Raceway, voted as one of the top six road courses in America. VIR's North course features an incredible uphill series of esses followed by a downhill 130' spiral elevation drop that will get attention of all participants. Literally a "roller-coaster" race track and a great prelude for the Grand Course in June.

MazdaDriverS.com events feature:
-- Two-day High-Speed Drivers Education (Saturday & Sunday)
-- Drive your own vehicle at speed in a safe controlled environment
-- High-Caliber Instructors assigned to students for on-course sessions
-- Run groups and Classroom sessions tailored to experience levels
-- Eight ~25 minutes sessions for the weekend
-- Event organizers, Chief and Classroom Instructors and most of the instructors are Mazda owners
-- Many students qualify for solo driving after demonstrating basic safety skills and appropriate on-course behavior

Registration is open for the March event; visit www.MazdaDriverS.com for details and online application. Thanks for your consideration. Dave Nugent

Aerial photograph of the North and Full courses at Virginia International Raceway. The new Grand course connectors were added after this photograph was taken.

VIR is literally a roller coaster road course, hard to see looking from the top down but the change in elevation is over 130' with a significant number of turns. More photos and videos at www.MazdaDriverS.com

Is this something that you have been coordination every year? This seems really cool. I can't believe this is my first time hearing about it.

Yes, the track event happens several times a year, I have been organizing performance driving events for a long time.

Along with friends from the local Washington DC Mazda club, www.MSCW.com, I was a key player in organizing the previous entitled events that you may have heard of; Mid-Atlantic Drivers Seminars (MADS) and Rotary and Roadster Car Expositions (RACE). The driving-school portion of the previous events evolved into MazdaDriverS.

While the March 2006 event will not be as grand, you may enjoy this photo of our event at VIR a few years ago. It is not too late to drive on the track with us, on-line application at www.MazdaDriverS.com
