2007 Drivers’ School

Friday, April 20, 2007
Sunday, April 22, 2007

This year’s Drivers’ School weekend, April 20-22, 2007 will be held in conjunction with the first RMVR race weekend at LaJunta Raceways. There are two ways to participate in our Spring Drivers’ School:

  • Competition Drivers’ School: For those seeking a full Competition License with the goal of becoming a regular RMVR racer with a vintage eligible race car, we offer our complete Competition Drivers’ School. In addition to the School weekend, participants will receive continued instructional support in subsequent race RMVR weekends, ultimately concluding in a full Competition License status. Download the regular Competition Drivers’ School application packet.
  • Precision Driving School: For those who don’t currently have a vintage eligible race car but wish to gain the skills, the confidence and the ability to better control your street car, we also offer our Precision Driving School. Instruction extends only to the School weekend. A Certificate of Accomplishment (no RMVR Competition License) will be issued at the end of the weekend. Precision Students do not have to join RMVR nor take the otherwise requisite race physical. It’s a great way to explore if vintage racing has an appeal to you. Download the Precision Driving packet. Please Note: As a Precision Student, you won’t be allowed to participate in the wheel-to-wheel practice races on Sunday but all Sunday classroom curriculums and instruction is included.

Instruction will be identical for both types of participants — Competition or Precision. The RMVR Annual Spring Drivers’ School is an excellent opportunity to learn the skills of automobile racing and car control. The School offers you an opportunity to do so in environment that is both exciting and safe. With virtually one-on-one instruction from our capable instructors, you will be introduced and welcomed into the world of our chosen passion—Vintage Racing. It’s the best racing school value you’ll find anywhere, period!

  • You will learn to exercise precise and expert car control.
  • You will get specific instruction from a team of expert driving instructors.
  • You will learn about the experience vintage racing and the vintage racing ethic.
  • You will share in joy of driving and learning in a safe environment.
  • And, by the end of the weekend, Competition Students will be equipped to comfortably and confidently be on track in a racing environment and Precision Students will have gained invaluable lessens in car control and a great insight into vintage racing.

This is a three day school. All students (Competition and Precision) are required to be at the track EARLY on Friday with your school car ready to go. All day Friday the track will be devoted to the School. Then all day Saturday and Sunday morning, during RMVR’s regular race weekend, special student-only track sessions will provide for continued instruction. Then on Sunday afternoon Competition Students will be well equipped to run in a regular race session where they will participate in a regular RMVR run group. (Precision students will not participate in these wheel-to-wheel racing sessions on Sunday.)

Preparation is the key to enjoying a productive, educational and enjoyable Drivers’ School weekend.

  • Come to the school with a reliable and well prepared car. Low stress about mechanical issues will allow you to pay full attention of the driving instructors and maximize track time.
  • Be familiar with your car. Comfort with its basic operation will enhance your experience.
  • Read the RMVR Drivers’ Manual and other materials provided to you in advance. Be familiar with the terminology and fundamental information. Upon application, you will receive a package of printed learning materials.

We look forward to seeing you. It will be a life-changing experience. And please feel free to contact the RMVR Chief Driving Instructor with any questions about the RMVR Drivers’ School or our Chief of Eligibility regarding your RMVR eligible race car (for Competition Students).
