OCALA GRAN PRIX RUNS SUCCESSFUL RACE SCHOOL
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (APRIL 30, 2010) CONTACT: Race Tech Development 317.270.8723 Info@RaceTechDevelopment.com OCALA GRAN PRIX RUNS SUCCESSFUL RACE SCHOOL "Beginner and advanced programs to come in the future" April 30, 2010 - The Ocala Gran Prix race team hosted their first ever racing clinic this past weekend at the newly revamped Ocala Gran Prix facility in Central Florida. With eight drivers under the care and watchful eyes of driving instructors, the first ever 'Bump U' racing clinic was a great success and several more have been planned for the remainder of 2010. "I could believe the overwhelming success and instant feedback we received on the two day clinic," expressed and excited OGP Owner Jorge Arellano. "All the drivers left the weekend tired and definitely a little sore but it turned out better than expected. There are going to be a few minor tweaks to the program as well as the addition of an advanced racing program to allow the regional drivers to learn to race with the national level guys." Double 2010 Florida Winter Tour champion Nick Neri was the lead driving instructor for eight different competitors that enrolled in the school. Taking the crew through a host of kart control exercises and perfecting the driver line, Neri then proceeded in having several practice starts and three lap races as everyone was racing wheel to wheel. Throwing in different configurations and several racing situations, all eight drivers perfected each on track task and left the weekend with more than 250 laps of experience each. "Bump U is something that we have been working towards for quite some time," expressed Neri after the weekend was over. "I have done several one on one driver coaching sessions but having a class of eight was different." Arellano added, "Drivers ranged from Florida Winter Tour participants to newbies who first got behind the wheel of a kart on Saturday morning. We had drivers on total different ends of the spectrum but worked through the weekend. I am very pleased with what we have going and the future looks bright for the 'Bump U driving clinic brought to you by OGP'". Assisting Neri with on track driving instruction were OGP's Nate Grindell and Mario Ioffredo while Race Tech Development's Mike Maurini and OGP's Kyle Kraus provided driver critiques, driver caching and some data analysis work.
