If you ever wanted race before, take this race school you will never regret it. If you wanted to improve your everyday driving the AADS advanced driving school is for you.
To all competitors and instructors please assist NASCC, AADS (BMW CSA & BMW CNA) in promoting their 2 schools. Please promote the schools to family members, friends and work colleagues.
The NASCC school is sanctioned by WCMA as a High Performance Driving school and a Competition Licensing School. It is on May 9 – 10.
The AADS advanced driving school is on Friday, May 15 – 16.
The exercises for both schools are very, very similar. The classroom for the NASCC focuses a portion of their classroom on actual competition situations.
The AADS school in the past has had the same classroom instructors as the ARCA/NASCC WCMA school, however, there are a few more general discussion about every day driving and maybe topics like tire selections for every season.
The in-car instructors for both schools have most often been the same people for both schools for the past 18 years. This year there is additional very positive element and that is many of the instructors recently attended the Ross Bentley HPDE Instructor school. This was a fabulous school Organized by Paul Conquest with Track Junkies and sponsored by Castrol Raceway, WCMA, AADS (BMW CSA & BMW CNA) & Subway.
Both schools use MotorsportReg for registration:

Potential Car in Calgary, free for sponsorship – Former Race City Claimer Race Car

Due to medical reasons I am not allowed to race or marshal this season. I was planning on throwing in a 5 speed transmission & racing the car in the Edmonton ChumpCar race, then Ice racing it in the winter. Since I am not able to race this season if someone wants to fix the car & race. It would be free based on VelocityMotorsportsNews.com Sponsorship. The deal is still available if someone takes the car, cuts the cage & takes out the racing seat based on VelocityMotorsportsNews.com Sponsorship. Otherwise car is for sale for $250
