This would be in conjunction with Evolution Driving School and you would get lots of seat time and lots of instruction.
I would like to do a shortened Phase 1 school and then open up a course layout for fun runs for the rest of the day. So the School would be from 8 a.m. till about 1 p.m. then anyone could run their car for a small fee. This way other can come out and watch the end of the school then get to try out an Autocross in their own car.
Spread the word and post up here if you want in.

<span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>Saturday April 3rd is the date of the Rotary only Evolution driving School</span>
So here is all the info I can pass on for now
Cost: $50 -Prefer it paid in advance.
There will be 3 run groups
8-10 a.m.
10 a.m - 12 p.m.
12-2 p.m.
2-5 p.m. will be fun runs for anybody there that wants to run some more or any others that are not in the school and just want to run their cars.
I am laying out the $1500 for this event I will be collecting the cost of the event. I will not profit from this in any way. $50 x 30 drivers = $1500. If we are under 30 drivers good news for you as it equates to more seat time - bad news for me more money out of my pocket.
Here is directions to the site.
Lake County Technical School
13000 Frankies Rd
Tavares, FL
Directions to Site
**EDIT**
The driving directions given at Yahoo maps leave a lot to be desired. I am more a visual driver when it come to directions. I will draw a map soon and post it. I almost got lost heading up there this past weekend.
As far as written directions go these from the Martin Sports Car Club are good.
Lodging:
I will be attending a school there this weekend and will look into local lodging. I will edit this when I have worked out a deal.
**EDIT**
I am heading back up in 2 weeks for another driving school. I am staying overnight and will report back on the Hotels/Motels in the area as well as prices. I will do my best to negotiate a good price.
Those interested in attending can mail a $50 check Payable to:
Atlantic Land Design
10664 South US 1
Port St. Lucie, Florida 34952
Please add in the memo section "Rotary Driving School" and Your Screen name so I can keep track of who is signed up. Also indicate whick run group you would prefer to be in 8-10 / 10-12 or 12-2 1st come 1st serve. I will post up when a section fills up.
My office # is 772-398-4290 you can reach me there from 8-5 Monday-Thursday and 8-12 on Friday if you have any concerns over mailing a check. I am paying for this out of my business acct. hence the Atlantic Land Design.
Or you can mail a deposit for a spot in the school in the amount of $10 the $40 balance will be due at the school.
I will be providing Burgers and Dogs with salads. There will be a limited number of soft drinks so bring something to drink for yourself as well as something to sit on.
Make sure your car is in good shape. Good tires. Battery secure, lug nuts torqued (I will have a torque wrench there) no loose items in the car drivers floor mat removed. Radar detactor and garage door opener removed as well.
We will be inspecting the cars for safety reasons. It is your responsibility to make sure it is up to par.
