Title: Aug 2nd Professional Driver Training at Pitt Meadows
Post by: Gent on March 15, 2008, 10:25:00 AM

Hi gang,

Over at clubsmartcar.com, I've been helping to organize a training day for the smart car enthusiasts to learn the limits of the ForTwo. I've arranged an incredible deal for a full day (~$140) for 24 participants. We have 12 participants so far. I've decided to see if there is any interest amongst the wider FlyingTiger audience in this program.

Below is some relevant info:


"We are currently in the construction phase of our new purpose built driver training facility at the Pitt Meadows Airport (http://"http://www.pittmeadowsairport.com/"). This facility will be about 500' x 1000' in size and will be runway quality asphalt. We are about 3 - 4 weeks from being done the first phase, which will be 250' x 1000', and we should have the second half done for your program time frame. As you know,we are currently using the runway for driver training (75' x 1200'), so our new facility will be substantially bigger, even after the first phase. The facility is between the two parallel runways that run East West, directly South of the runway that you used in the Spring. We have a website at bcdrivingcentre.com (http://"http://www.bcdrivingcentre.com/") that you can look at...

...We can do a program for up to 24 people for you which would run from 08:30 - 16:00 or so, which would include handbooks for all participants for $3250. This program would have 4 - 5 Driving Unlimited (http://"http://www.drivingunlimited.com/") instructors and would qualify each of the participants for a 10% discount on their collision portion of their insurance for 5 years if they are insured with Canadian Direct Insurance (http://"http://www.canadiandirect.com/Auto/Auto.aspx"). We would do a variety of training exercises including vision slalom, braking, collision avoidance, lane change etc..."
