MERRITTVILLE SPEEDWAY: BRP Chassis Seminar and Pete Bicknell Driving School

THOROLD, ON - If you know ‘March Madness’ – you know that the 2010 season is coming to a close on the courts in the race to the NCAA Men’s US College Basketball Championship Title! If you are more in tune to the local racing season – you have to know that it means that the season is just about to start. For the brand new driver or the one moving up from another division … or even veterans looking for an edge against all the up and coming young guns – the Bicknell Racing Products Chassis Seminar and Pete Bicknell Driving School is just the thing for you.

“Although our focus leans towards Sportsmen and Modified Teams.” reveals BRP’s Randy Williamson, “each year … our classes are made up of drivers from all divisions looking to boost their confidence and knowledge … limited space is available in the both sessions.”

The upcoming Bicknell Racing Products Chassis Seminar and Pete Bicknell Driving School is also coming up quickly - the 2010 Dates at Merrittville Speedway are April 10th or 11th. 

The day long sessions feature both classroom and on track sessions that will benefit any type of race car – from entry level Street Stocks and 4 Cylinders to Classic Dwarf Cars and Modified Lites to the Sportsmen and 358 or Big Block Modified type race cars.

Drivers and crew members alike will learn what it takes to stop the guess work by going through a complete walk through of the Bicknell Racing Products Set Up Book. In addition to safety - solving improper handling, how to adapt to changing track conditions, proper spring and shock selecting, tire management and how to interpret weight transfer, body roll and roll steer will also be discussed.

Each on track portion will provide drivers with proper driving techniques and overall car preparation. Drivers should bring along their RACEceivers or one way radios to permit coaching from both Williamson and Pete Bicknell. Drivers with AMB Transponders on their cars will also be provided print outs of lap times for the day. Both the class room and on track portions will be held at Merrittville Speedway. All Inclusive Registration Fee for Drivers is $400 while the Crew Member Fee is $75.
