Default SGR Miss Shift: Ladies Driving Clinic at GPK - March 1 2008

Date: Saturday March 1, 2008
Time: 10:00am to 1:00pm
Registration Opens at 9:45am, Classroom starts at 10:00am
Where: Grand Prix Kartways at Downsview Park - See Map for Directions
Costs: $50 SGR members, $55 non SGR
Registration Deadline: **EXTENDED**

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

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.

To Reserve Your Spot
We will need a $10 non-refundable deposit by February 26th 2008. 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!!

Count me in! The last class was the best pure distraction, and hence rest, from being a new mom :-) I'll send an eft.

Thank you!
