Hello all
I was in Calgary visting my brothers-in-law and their families..went to Banff for the weekend and was, as always, amazed at how beautiful it was.
I spent some time with my 23 yr old nephew who has a real need for speed and has encountered various members of the law enforcement community. Lessons are not being learned. Can anyone point me to on-track DE programs with qualified instructors in the area?
Referrals would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ian

 

Contact.........

JAY PRINGLE at 226-9387 or 703-9387 he runs "Track Techniques Inc"..........tell him I sent you.

 

Thanks very much. We'll make sure to contact him to get his schedule for 2008. As always, I can depend on my fellow Rennlisters to help out
Thanks very much
Ian

 

In addition to Jay Pringle, BMW club runs a school, Calgary Sports Car Club runs schools as part of their Solosprint series and their Solo 2 series, Porsche club runs autocrosses. You can google those for web pages. There are also several listed on the Racecity.com links page. You can dip your toe in or go right up to the neck, your choice!

 

Thanks!

Allen Berg.....former Canadian F1 driver.

 

Thanks very much for all the referrals. I have been sending them to my nephew's father..let's hope that he takes advantage.
The Allan Berg school in Costa Rica looks great.....a winter trip for my wife and I..."Dear, how would you like to go to Costa Rica.....I may be busy for three days or so...!!!!!"
Cheers

The other thing to keep in mind is that speed enforcement in calgary is excessive by comparison with everywhere I've ever lived. Ka band and Laser, exclusively, in town. He might consider painting his headlights/foglights/blinkers with Laser Veil and getting a good radar detector from Bel, Escort or Valentine.

FWIW

 

PCA Polar Region Driver Education Day is booked at Race City in Calgary on Friday july 18th 2008.
Website has all the details, although we haven't updated it for the 2008 event as yet. pol.pca.org/ for more info.

 

When is registration for this going to start?

I've had Jay Pringle @ BWW Adv. Driverr Training at Race City. He seemed pretty good, but nervous. I really enjoyed Lance Hogarth as an instructor. He was awsome.

 

Anyone know when registration for the Northern BMW Club event will open tentetively booked for May?

Lance is a Great Driver...Another Great Instructor is Thomas K...There are alot of good instructors for this school...This is a Great driving school, probably one of the best in Canada (feedback from people who has taken various schools throughout North America) but I am biased...I use to instruct for them....
