Hi Warren,

We have booked the Brampton Centre for Sports & Entertainment (see map
on our web) as our location for our Car Control Schools. They have an
excellent facility for the driving exercises.

We run this course rain or shine. Prices include tax.

[SoopaBanana]

I\'m in.

EDIT: Can you get a quote for all the courses offered?

[S.F.W.]

Where are they located?

[wtom]

I will ask about that for you, SoopaBanana.

S.F.W., I asked them which location the school would be at, will advise once I hear back.

[SoopaBanana]

A couple of friends of mine are taking their Track School with the OMSC with Ian Law without Car Control School or Advanced Slalom trainings. Plus, their pricing is $200 flat. Is there any way for us to push the price down on them and skip the Car Control School and go directly to Advanced Slalom?

[Fuman]

do we need to use our own car?
i\'ll confirm if I can join tonight.
probably in.

edit: i have school during oct/nov.
will it be on a fri or sat?

[majic]

lol :p i didn\'t even notice it was in Ian\'s reply.. duh.. and the glowing fonts don\'t do well with ffox ;)

just wanted to know when is the latest we can reply.. so it doesn\'t fill up.. i\'m sitting on the fence on this one..

[Optimzer]

I know what I\'m asking for for my b-day...I\'ll make a decision in a couple of days and post. This is something I\'ve wanted to do for years. damn this just might delay my HIDs!! too many ways to spend money :( :D :( :D :( :D

plus not sure if I\'ll be out of town for work during that time...is it on a weekend? also, how long? I imagine all day but how much driving time?

EDIT: not that I plan on having a confrontation with a pylon...but I gotta ask if they\'re something that will do damage to the car or does it just leave scuff marks that are removable?

[wtom]

Most likely gonna be a Saturday. That\'s all I have an answer for, sorry.

[Fuman]

alright cool.
whens the deadline to reply?

[wtom]

I\'ll say before end of this month (July) or when we hit 25 committed, whichever comes first.

[SoopaBanana]

Hmmm... a couple of my friends who do not have a 3 might be interested... Would anyone have problems with non-Mazda3 owners joining this event?

[wtom]

No probs from me, but priority to TM3 members for the first 15 spots. :)

[Axela Mazda 3]

I\'m interested!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pylons are pretty harmless, as a regular autoXer it is not uncommon to hit a couple pylons, and if they leave any marks on your car they tend to rub right off!

jeez man this ain\'t looking good if i gotta report the number of attendees back to Ian Law in less than two weeks. :(

The regular price is $210, but for this one day, we will offer up a few special places for ONLY $150 per driver. This is on a \"first come, first served\" basis and spots are limited.

Any of your interested club members will have to contact us to register for this special. Please ask them to identify themselves as a club member.

This full day advanced driving school includes classroom sessions, driving exercises with an instructor (skid pad, collision avoidance, slalom and much more), lunch and certificate. The day concludes with a fun autoslalom for the participants to practice all their new driving skills.

How was it?

[iconicrocket]

Well, its was OK. for $150.

They just give you some class instructions and set you up on a pylon course. There\'s about 5 excerise that you do. Good way to get to know your car. 3 Things that I came away from the course knowing:

1. Look far ahead
2. Try to be smooth with your steering
3. ABS activates very late, so you got to really mash the pedal to the floor.
