Jeff’s DE3 Download
Well, after a very exciting weekend, all I can do it say wow! Special thanks to Jason B, and the rest of the gang with Club Racing Arizona along with NASA Pro Autosports.
After entirely revamping the DE program last month with supplemental education throughout, February’s event had much more planning invested in it after January’s error filled event. DE Driving Chief, Cliff Orbach and I, along with other CRA instructors and officials, spent several weeks planning in attempts to orchestrate a much smoother weekend. All the extra hours paid off and the results were nothing but smoothness.
Hopes with DE 3 will be to eventually run driving exercises with significantly greater speed than DE 2 drivers. By instilling the drills with the DE 2 drivers, they idea is that by they time they matriculate into the more advanced groups, drivers shouldn’t skip a beat.
One thing done this weekend that really seemed to help was emailing the exercises to who the instructors felt were the stronger drivers in the group. This not only made it easier on the instructors explaining the exercises, but also promotes leadership and advancement in the drivers; exactly the purpose of the DE program.
Thanks to all who came out and looking forward to seeing everyone out there in March. Next month will have 2 events at PIR along with a crossover event at California Speedway. I encourage all those who are interest to sign up. I’ll be caravanning out there with some others from Phoenix so come join us!
Thanks to Clayton for putting up such a powerful site.
