URSS “305” Sprint Car Driving Seminar
HAYS, KANSAS (Sept. 14, 2006) - Are you an Experienced Racer looking to join the
fastest growing Sprint Car Series in the Mid West? Are you an avid race fan and
wondered what it would be like to experience the thrill of pitching one of these
fire-breathing rockets into the corner? The United Rebel Sprint Series is
offering you an opportunity to see, hear, smell and feel the excitement of
driving an actual URSS Series Sprint Car in a safe and controlled learning
environment.
The URSS is offering a full one-day Driving Seminar at the Rolling Plains Motor
Speedway in Hays, Kansas on Saturday, October 14th, 2006 with the legendary
“Kansas Tornado” Jon Johnson as the featured instructor. This one day program
will give drivers the experience with classroom training to help you understand
the technology of a Sprint Car and actual track time in a URSS 305 Sprint Car
with one on one driving instructions during two on track sessions at RPM
Speedway. Four of the best URSS 305 Sprint Cars, including Johnson’s
championship winning car, will be on hand to provide the attendees the
opportunity to experience the thrill of these awesome racecars.
The Driving Seminar will consist of a morning session in a classroom setting
where the participants will be given instruction on the basics of Sprint Car
racing. Lessons on driver safety, starting procedures, basic car setup and
weekly maintenance will be thoroughly explained. Classroom instruction will also
include lessons in driving techniques to learn how to power the car through the
corners just like the Pro’s. This classroom workshop will give you the basic
knowledge needed to become more familiar with these amazing machines and get you
ready for the on track part of the program.
After a short break for lunch, the participants will take to the track
individually with each driver taking part in the first of two driving sessions
on the race prepared RPM Speedway. Drivers will take their first 5-lap session
around the banked clay oval with URSS Officials overseeing your driving
experience and Series Instructors evaluating your driving performance. Each
driver will then get a one on one evaluation of their session and will be given
tips and pointers and answers to any questions to improve upon their driving
skills. After the evaluations, all of the participants will hit the 3/8’s mile
oval for another individual 10-lap driving session. Drivers will once again be
given assessments on their driving skills and be offered advice and tips to
further improve what they have learned.
The cost for this URSS 305 Sprint Car Seminar is $250.00 per person and will be
limited to the first 50 Drivers to register. Drivers are asked to bring their
own fire-suit, helmets and other related safety equipment or borrow a set from a
fellow racer. This is an excellent opportunity and the experience of a lifetime
for anyone just wanting to feel the thrill of driving a full size sprint car. It
will also prove extremely valuable to all interested racers in the area to have
their questions answered about the series and to get actual seat time in a URSS
Sprint Car before deciding to move up to this affordable 305 Sprint Car class.
