Coastal Empire Region Driver Ed
Roebling Road Raceway - June 12th & 13th, 2010
The Coastal Empire Region cordially invites you and your members to our next Driver Education event scheduled at Roebling Road Raceway on June 12-13, 2010.
This event is open to all makes and models, including convertibles with the proper roll bar protection. The only requirements are: (1) drivers must be 18 to enter, (2) your vehicle has to be safety-checked by a mechanic within two weeks of the event and (3) drivers must wear helmets.
Whether you are interested in trying this type of event for the first time or are returning as an avid "track junkie," we have something for all skill levels. As a beginning student you will have classroom sessions and a full-time instructor in the car with you while on the track. This will greatly assist in understanding your skills and the capabilities of your car.
If you have been considering trying a Driver's Education Program for the first time but are concerned about purchasing a helmet and then not wanting to continue, we have something for you. The Coastal Empire Region has a limited number of helmets for you to wear at this event, free of charge. For those who are interested in staying close to the track, we have arranged a special rate ($69 plus tax) at the Hampton Inn & Suites Savannah Airport, 70 Stephen S. Green Drive, Savannah, GA 31408, phone: 912 966 1240. When making your reservation, please make sure you mention you are part of the Coastal Empire Region event.
We will do Grid Tech and Registration on Friday afternoon at the track between 3 and 5 PM. Then it's off to the hotel (Hampton Inn & Suites Savannah Airport) to continue Tech/Registration and enjoy pizza, beer and friendship. Grid Tech and Registration continues from 7 to 8 AM Saturday morning at the track.

1948 Rover P3 Saloon
