Driving Skills Challenge Days: practice days for Enthusiasts So, you've taken Car Control, and want to practice some more... We have the course for you. A full day of 'dancing with cones' and of Skills practicing and challenge fun for BMW Car Club of BC members and other car enthusiasts are welcome to participate. It is recommended that you have previously taken a Car Control session, as there will be no 'basics' training on this day. This is basically a full day of skills practice on a slalom course with Driving Unlimited instructors and club members on hand to cover important basic safety skills and provide feedback. In our Car Control Program we cover key elements vital to improving your driving, such as seating position, steering technique, and vehicle dynamics. Exercises include emergency braking and rear wheel skid control. The Driving Skills Challenge days are meant to provide the enthusiast with a full day of skills practice with minimal waiting around for your turn. Limited instructor feedback coaching and guidance will be available, but as mentioned this is not intended as an entry level session. It is recommended that participants have taken a Car Control Course before tracking this session. 2008 Planned Dates for Driving Skills Challenge Cars participating in this session must be fully street legal and licensed and arrive under their own power.

Yeah working on the too-low camera mount issues.. Sounds like I'll be at the beach tomorrow so may not be able to get out there sorry :(

Hope more of us get the bug for next season:). 

Dave, I will be trying the removal of the steering dampner shock and considering my stock 15" steering wheel to help with a better turing radius, my 14" I have to work to much and watching all my vids I see how much I have to work that wheel now:) 

Ok...results are in, I am so happy with myself with the improvements I am making. The courses I have taken and learning so much more about my car is helping with all the track time is helping, I can't wait with the rear suspension and steering adjustments alone will help I am sure...really considering power steering option now though...lol
