2011 Race School
Schedule for Sunday - May 1st.
Starts @ 9:30am until late afternoon
SSKC Annual Race School
Each year the SSKC runs its annual race school for new drivers.
This race school is a requirement for all new drivers and is the
primary way that you will be able to obtain our clubl level karting
drivers license.
The course is typically 2-2 ½ hours of classroom time covering basic
rules of racing, flags that control the race event and basic driving
instrutinos. This classromm time is followed by a complete walk
around the track where you will learn the basic "racing line", how to
enter and exit turns and all the control points on the track such as
the start / finish line, starting grid, ot grid and where you exit the
track as the race is completed. In the event of poor weather
conditions, the course will be adapted to cover as much as possible
with some follow-up before or at the first race day.
There is no
charge for
the classromm training session and the walk around the track. You
should have a pen and pencil as well as a note book for the classroom
part of the session. Everyone is welcome,
so please feel free to
invite others who may be interested in karting. If you don’t have your
kart ready, you still should plan on doing the school, as there may be
a charge if you require individual sessions after the race
school. In order to take any of the on-track driving
training, you must be a paid up member of the SSKC. We will have
membership forms and info available at the school.
The training takes place at the 3 Flags Motorsport track in
club room / consession area. The track is located ~20 kilometers
or (~12 miles) Northwest from Regina on Highway #11. Watch for
Exit “C” just before the Qu’Appelle Valley and Town of Lumsden.
Take Exit “C” from the right hand lane and follow the road until the
stop sign. Turn left and proceed under the highway
overpass. The track is located on the south side of the overpass
a short distance down the road. You can see the track facilities
as you move under the underpass.
For the first on-track driving element, the session will typically be
all the drivers with follow up sessions having the Seniors and Juniors
going out as separate groups. Safety gear as is a requirement for
all drivers
