Information for Students

**********

 

UPDATE: We now require all attendees and guests to be fully vaccinated for Covid 19 by the date of this event in order to attend. If you are or will be, fully vaccinated by the date of the event and can show proof of your vaccine at our on site registration (Vax card or photo of it) and you have no concern about a fully vaccinated instructor joining you in your car then you are all set. Note: We consider “fully vaccinated” to mean that you’ve had 1 or 2 vaccination shots as specified by the vaccination provider and you’ve been symptom free for 2 weeks after your last shot.

If you are not vaccinated and or can not be by the event date and are not comfortable riding with a vaccinated instructor then unfortunately, you will not be eligible to attend this event. We do hope that, over time, these restrictions will evolve to a point where we can remove the vaccine requirement but for now we apologize if this means that you won't be able to join us for this event. 

We understand that for some of our attendees this will be disappointing but our team wishes to offer the best high performance driving training possible and a return to safe in-car instruction is the best way to achieve this. 

Please be advised we are still monitoring the CDC and State guidelines and that means we may still require wearing masking and/or social distance.  Details to be finalized as we near the event. 

**********

 There are a very limited number of student slots available for this event to ensure maximum seat time.

This is a half day event with a morning and afternoon sessions available. Plan to arrive by 45 minutes before your start time. End of Day will be noon for the morning session and 5 PM for the afternoon session.

In order to attend AC3, you must meet one of the following conditions:

  • Have attended AC3 in a prior year
  • Have attended one or more ADSS events or car control clinics
  • Have attended one or more High Performance Driving Schools

If you are entirely new to high performance driving, please register for the Advanced Driving Skills School if available on the event schedule.

Description of Exercises

Theory -  Each session begins with a "chalk talk", wherein our instructors explain vehicle dynamics, the techniques students will be taught, and summarize the exercises for the day.

Skid Pad - The practical exercises include spending part of the session on the skid pad learning about: understeer, oversteer, throttle steering, and power-slides. These basic building blocks are key to learning how to bring your car under control when the unexpected happens and how to establish a balanced cornering attitude.

Car Control Course - The practical exercises also include spending part of the session on the closed-loop handling course.  Here, you will put your skidpad practice to the test and build new skills: trail-braking, inducing rotation, countering understeer, and applying oversteer. 

This is a driver education school and is not practice for any racing or speed contest.
