SGR Miss Shift: Ladies Driving Clinic at GPK - Jan 26 2008
Date: Saturday January 26, 2008
Where: Grand Prix Kartways Duration: 2 hours Time: Saturday - 10:00am - 12:00pm Registration Opens at 10:15am, Classroom starts at 10:30am Costs: $45 SGR members, $50 non SGR Registration Deadline: January 19, 2007 Group Size: 8 Ladies minimum Attire: Please wear running shoes and dress in comfortable clothes, such as gym attire. If you have spare gym/driving gloves, balaclava or helmets, bring them as well. Description: The "Ladies Only" clinic caters to our needs in a fun and pressure free atmosphere. No guys...just driving. Improve your driving confidence and your speed along the way. Topics of the clinic include crash avoidance, cornering techniques, kart control, passing techniques and the importance of proper vision. Each clinic will include classroom instruction, track walks and on-track evaluation with personal observance of each driver. Our goal is to make you faster by increasing your skills and your confidence. The specific topics and techniques learned will depend on the skill level of the participants, hence, please don't feel that this is a beginner or advanced clinic ONLY. With a small group of participants, we have free reign of what we want to learn in this clinic. Venue: Grand Prix Kartways provides the highest quality state-of-the-art electric go-karts for its racers. Not only are these race team stylized go-karts fast, they are safe, and environmentally friendly with no noxious fumes. Two types of Go-Karts will be used, both of which will be electrically charged. No fossil fuels will be required to power the karts, keeping the facilities clean, pollution free, and GPK environmentally responsible. For more info on their facility, check out http://www.gpkartways.com To Reserve Your Spot We will need a $10 non-refundable deposit by January 20th 2007. We accept payments via cash, cheque, electronic money transfer or paypal (+transaction fee). Please let us know which payment you would prefer. This invitation is open to all the ladies, not just SGR only. Also, please note this invitation is to the ENTIRE SGR TEAM, and not just the Miss Shift Racing Division. If any member from the Show Division is interested, we would love for them to join us!! Now the fun part... We would like to start building up a group of dedicated SGR members to take this opportunity to build on their driving skills. There are a few upcoming events at GPK that we would really like to showcase female drivers...and excellent ones at that! More details to come...sooo exciting!! We are still in the planning stages of this idea and would appreciate any support. I'm open to any ideas and suggestions to make this a successful event. Here is a list of participants to date: 1.

I am there, helmet in hand.
After the last event, I was much faster at the HADA karting series. I was 3rd fastest of the day, in fact. HADA boyz: how'd you do that? Opal: Sweetie Girl Racing clinic. Who's laughing now, boys?!

Driving gloves is essentially the only thing you would need. They will provide you with the rest. A word of caution though: from our experience at the last clinic, this is definately an intense upper arm/body workout. I'd highly recommend going for a workout if you have access to a gym, or simply did conditional exercises leading up to the workshop i.e. push ups, fore arm stretch/conditional exercise, etc.. Quote:
