AMG - u might be interested in this....

SA guys - there's a John Bowe Institute of driving hi performance instruction track day on. It was initially a doctor only thing but the guy organising it didnt have the numbers so now it's open to the public..... SA hi-po days are rare as hens teeth... I'm sure the SA ppl would know that....


Thursday 21st July @ Mallala
Cost $385
1:4 instructor to driver ratio
8:30 - 4:30 incl lunch and morning tea

Be quick!! 1 confirmed place left to go but there's a waiting list too....

I did a JB course. I can highly recommend them. You pick up quite a lot about driving smoothly and the basics regarding weight transfer and it's effect on braking/cornering. I had no idea how late you could brake at the end of Calder Parks' straight.....

You need a fireproof suit which they will supply at a small fee.

FunkyR

only calder requires a fire proof suit.... the other vic and sa tracks dont....

thanks for the heads upon that, besides thinking JB is arrogant ( from the few times I have met him), I'm heavily booked up@ work till mid August so will be impossibleto do,but I did notice he is running a course in Oct as well.

$385 is really steep...

Royal Adelaide Radiology must be paying you a lot

It might be a good course to do if you want to learn how to prevent faster cars from passing

Cheers,

Hahhaah I guess all you have to do is swerve into the path of a passing exotic and that'll stop from overtaking - they'll be too worried about pranging their 250k beast into your <70k car...

I can remember a Jaguar owner with a completely opposite response to that one.. From memory the car came with a bull bar and spent lots of time in the panel beaters.. Very scary dude..
