Please join us for our Spring 2010 Drivers Education (DE) and PCA National Instructor Clinic at VIR in Alton, VA. We will be running the Full Course all 3 days, but please note the changes to our normal schedule/format below:
Friday, 21 May: PCA National DE Instructor Clinic - the clinic is open to all instructors desiring a PCA National DE Instructor certification. PCA membership is not a pre-requisite for attending and receiving PCA National Certification. This day will otherwise be open to solo drivers only for regular DE track time (i.e. White group and above). This track time will also be available for already PCA certified DE Instructors volunteering to serve as "Instructor Mentors/role players". We invite experienced drivers interested in becoming instructors and also our experienced instructors to attend and serve as "instructor mentors" and also receive PCA certification.
Saturday and Sunday 22-23 May: Open to all groups
PCA Instructor Clinic: conducted by Pete Tremper, PCA National DE Chair, it will consist of four 45-60 minute classroom sessions, each followed by a 45 minute on-track session. There are two categories of “candidates” attending the clinic: Experienced drivers that desire to become instructors, and those already serving as instructors (PCA membership not required) that desire to receive a PCA certification. This latter group will attend the entire clinic and serve as mentors to the instructor candidates during the clinic, serving as role players during the on-track sessions. Additionally, we invite our instructors who are already PCA Certified to assist us and also serve as mentors/role players to our instructor candidates during their on-track sessions. In return, we'll offer you ~2.5 hours of student free track time on Friday. If you are an experienced driver interested in becoming an instructor, please contact our Chief Track Instructor for this event, Alex Bell, at

This event is open to all drivers 18 and over with a valid US-issued driver's license.
An instructor will be assigned to Green and Blue Group drivers for Saturday and Sunday. If you are signing up as an Intermediate Solo or Advanced driver, you will be asked for references if you have not run with FSR before. There will be classroom sessions for Green and Blue groups as well.

Are you new to DE and on the fence about whether Driver’s Education is for you? FSR now offers a great opportunity for those wanting to get a taste of DE without signing up for the entire event. For a $50 fee, we’ll get you out on the track in your car with an instructor for a single session mid-day on Saturday. Standard DE safety requirements apply, so you’ll need a Snell SA 2000 or newer rated helmet. FSR does not have loaner helmets, so recommend borrowing from a friend.
