It's summer (well, almost), and the club's activities are in full swing!
---------------------------
DRIVING SCHOOL SAMPLER PROGRAMS
Want to see what driving on a race track is like? Come to the Driving School Sampler Program at the race track, enjoy the track cars, learn driving techniques in the classroom, and get a ride with an approved instructor at speed on the race track (helmet required; loaners available). If you've thought about attending a driving school but aren't sure if it's for you, this is a great chance to see first hand what the experience is like. The program is free to encourage participation in future driving schools. There will be club races at each of the next two driving schools, so you can watch real club racing action, too!
Upcoming Driving School Sampler Programs:
Sunday July 6th at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:

Saturday August 9th at Mont Tremblant, Quebec:

DRIVING SCHOOLS
There is still room for more drivers at the July NHMS driving school, particularly on Monday July 7th. There will be professional flaggers, freeing you to spend more time relaxing and enjoying the races. And the August Mont Tremblant event simply must be experienced: the food and flavor of Quebec, the beauty of the Laurentian Mountains, the majesty of Le Circuit Mont Tremblant, mountain-top meteor shower stargazing, and a plethora of family activities that make it a great vacation for all. Due to limits imposed by the town on the track, an event of this quality may simply not be possible in future years, so seize the opportunity this year!
Upcoming Driving Schools:
Sunday/Monday July 6th and 7th at NHMS:

AUTOCROSS
Want to learn what you car can do? And can't do??!? Experience the full performance of your car in a low-risk environment. Set in an unused airfield, the autocross course is marked with orange traffic cones, which you navigate as fast as your skill, wits, and car allow. While some of the Boston Chapter autocrossers are quite competitive, novices are incredibly welcome and instructors are on hand to help.
Upcoming Autocross events:
