CMCS - School Daze 2008

On July 9^th at Pacific Raceways CMCS will host its annual School Daze driving event. Each year we organize and hold a driving event that allows many sports car owners the opportunity to drive their car on a 2.25 mile road course. This event is limited to cars that are either hard top or convertibles with a roll bar (our insurance carrier writes the policy and the rules on this one) and is open to Corvettes (of course), BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Viper, Lotus, Alfa, Audi, Mustang, Firebird V8, Camaro V8, Cadillac V, and other marques as approved.

Those of you with hardtops, coupes, and convertibles with optional hardtops should consider this event. Learn how well your car handles, learn how to better handle your car. Instructors will provide guidance on your track experience and work with you throughout the day to give you tips on improving your driving skills. You will learn braking, cornering, steering techniques, and gain knowledge in how to read a corner, steer into it, and accelerate out of it. Instructors will emphasize how to prepare for entry into a corner, how to look ahead and plan for other cars, changes in the pavement, and approaching curves. Basically you will learn driving tips and lessons that will improve your overall driving.

School Daze has a long tradition with CMCS dating back to the 1960’s with two main goals in mind:

Help people to become safe drivers in their cars.
Enjoy the driving experience.

School Daze is not a competitive event. It allows participants to learn important driving skills while gaining valuable experience behind the wheel of their car.

As a part of School Daze, we offer a ground school for participants where one can learn about Pacific Raceway’s road course. Ground school is held one week before the School Daze event and a valuable segment of this program. We cover the many turns and the many idiosyncrasies of the course. Ground school is required for first timers and recommended for all participants.

We are not the only car club to put on driving events at Pacific Raceways. Check out these car club sites for information on their events.
