Hitting Apexes…. March 2015

Tick-tock, tick-tock……….. The countdown begins for the start of our 2015 DE season!! I know I am pretty excited. Last month I covered getting ready for the season so I figured this month I would return to skill development and touch on a more advanced technique, left foot braking. If you are ready for this, […]

Hitting Apexes….Feb 2015

I do not know about you, but I am pretty psyched up about our 2015 DE season approaching and getting back on track. Our schedule is set for 2015 and by the time you read this, we would have just held our Instruction to High Performance Driving seminar (January 25). It is at this seminar […]

Hitting Apexes…. Dec 2014

Just back from VIR and so NNJR’s 2014 DE season has come to a close and what a season it has been. I have really enjoyed my job (my second job) as NNJR’s Track Chair and as a result have made quite a number of new friends and have seen the excellent results that Teamwork […]

Hitting Apexes…. August 2014

Since my last article we had our June 13-14 DE at Thunderbolt with a great turnout and great weather. I witnessed some pretty nice driving and many smiling faces.

Hitting Apexes…. July 2014

We just returned from our Mid Ohio (MO) DE and I keep thinking about how much I love that track. Quite frankly I really like all the tracks we go to and have a cadre of turns on each that really make a strong impression. No-one (or maybe 1 in 100,000) will argue with you […]
