SUMMARY:Audi Club North Atlantic: Winter Driving School
DESCRIPTION:Our 28th year of  Winter Driving Schools at the Team O’Neil Rally School in Dalton\, NH… more than 1\,500 students trained \nPicture yourself on an icy road\, in a bit of a hurry. Going into a turn\, you feel the car begin to slide. You’ve hit the brakes\, turned the wheel\, and still the car continues to slide…with a stone wall on the outside of the turn. What do you do? Close your eyes and pray for a soft snowbank? Or apply the skills you could learn in the North Atlantic Audi Club’s premier events\, our two Winter Driving Schools. \nIf you would like to learn to control your car in slippery conditions\, to handle every type of skid (including correcting understeer and oversteer)\, and to stop more quickly in snowy or icy conditions\, then join the North Atlantic Audi Club for one (or both!) of our premier winter driving schools\, to be held the last weekend in January and February at the Team O’Neil Rally School in Dalton\, NH. It’s a safe\, low-speed event on a closed course with expert instruction in a fun atmosphere.  And\, there will be ample opportunity to socialize with like-minded enthusiasts. \nOn Saturday at 8:30 a.m.\, we will begin in the classroom\, covering the basic principles of driving on frozen surfaces: types of skids and how to correct them\, managing weight transfer\, and looking as far ahead as possible. After the classroom training\, we will rotate through different driving exercises including a slalom\, a skid pad\, and a combined course where the classroom principles will be put into practice\, all with an experienced instructor in the passenger seat. Saturday afternoon will wrap up with a team driving event. Saturday evening at the Hampton Inn we will hold a social event with drinks for more opportunity to relax\, socialize and brag about your day’s performance.  Sunday we will return to Team O’Neil\, consolidating skills through repetition\, and finish the day with a time trial event. \nThis school is very much at your own pace\, and everyone from novices to advanced drivers will learn a great deal and have a blast. For novices\, we focus on recovering from skids\, smoothness\, vision\, and improving consistency through practice. For advanced students who have mastered the basics\, we will offer instruction in techniques such as handbrake turns\, left foot braking\, threshold braking\, trailing throttle oversteer and mastering the “Scandinavian flick”. For everyone this is an excellent opportunity to learn car control skills that can make you a safer driver under all conditions\, and reduce lap times on the track or autocross course. \nFront- and rear-wheel drive vehicles are required to have snow tires on the drive wheels as a minimum.  AWD vehicles are required to have all-seasons at a minimum. Our school is a great opportunity for permit and licensed drivers of all ages to learn how to confidently drive in a New England winter. Held at a safe and isolated facility\, this is the perfect place to learn car control skills. Unlike events held on a race track\, there are no restrictions on the type of vehicle allowed – convertibles\, trucks\, and front-\, rear-\, and all-wheel-drive vehicles of all kinds are welcome (they don’t even have to be Audis!). \nThough the school officially begins on Saturday morning\, if you are in town on Friday evening\, please join us at the Hampton Inn at 8:00 p.m. for an informal gathering plus an information session on preparing your car for winter driving and roadside emergencies. \nFees\nUnder 21 with registering parent . . . . . . .   $ 170 / 200  (ACNA parent member / all others)\nACNA Members . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  $ 340\nAll others * . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   $ 400\n* Not a member of ACNA click here and join.  Your discount for this event will pay for your year’s membership.
