Performance Driving School

Koodos to Joel Bowman and the entire team including the highley paid instructors who put this fabulous event together. I can speak for the Elovitz clan that this was such a great experience and we all learned a great deal but, there is so much more to learn that you will probably see the three of us back at the next Driving School. Thanks again for all of the help and we will see you in Fontana. :beerchug:

It was a pleasure instructing you and your sons. Your positive attitude and desire to learn really paid off for the three of you. It was very satisfying watching Adam improve so much from the Sunday morning sessions to the afternoon sessions. He was really disappointed he could not get in one last lap - the lightbulb had just gone on in his head about throttle stearing, and he was chomping at the bit to get another go, but when time's up, it's over.

Get thee to the autocrosses. PDS is a fantastic foundation in car control. Autocrossing gives you the practice you need to build on that foundation. These cars are capable of so much, and you're on the right path to learning how to access and use it.

It can sometimes be amazing how much students can learn in three short days.
On Sunday my student went from driving 35 mph dead center in her lane ( :banghead: ) to lift 'n drift in her C4s using every inch of the track, full throttle, and getting ALL her money's worth out of the brakes. She even stuck to the line (mostly anyway) after I goaded her into being aggressive.
At day's end, one more student sent home with Perma-grin.
Seeing that smile is why we do this. :beerchug:
On another note, the students were told at the end of the day that they could view pics of the event on the new website. Where did the photos link go on the new site? I can't find........

Thank you Joel, Larry and Sean, and everyone else for all your hard work, enthusiasm and kindness to students and instructors alike. The school was a great success. The students were so fun to instruct and eager to learn. My student Colleen will be back to AX, she's got skills in her Boxster S. :D

Greg, Thank you, as always, for all your photos!
