TRACK INSTRUCTION
Here’s what happens when you come to Big Dog Motorsports for racing instruction: we provide you with an experienced instructor there for the sole reason of teaching you how to fly around the race track! Our instructors share their experiences and give helpful insights. Your instructor will show you how to check your car before and after each session. We'll teach you how to adjust tire pressure for better handling, check your brakes, and prepare yourself and your car for each on-track session.
Advanced Student Coaching
Refine your line and fine-tune your control inputs. Advanced topics include trail braking, throttle steering, and running offline while maintaining (or gaining) speed. We’ll use our AIM data collection system and overlay your data with the data we’ve collected for each track. Using this information, we’ll help you identify areas of opportunity and spend the day tweaking variables that can make you faster.
Race Coaching
We offer professional racing coaching with a proven driver for advanced students, those who want to get a competition license, or those who are already racing. We provide several options. Our coaches have all been through some of the best pro and club race schools. Some have even taught at Skip Barber and the Porsche Experience. We’ll spend a day going through the exercises you’ll see in comp school to help make the process easier and less stressful.
Chump & Lemons Race Coaching
We partner with our friends at Carolina Motorsports Park for run sessions for Chump and Lemons test and tune. On these dates, we offer a team package where we’ll coach your entire team. We’ll collect AIM data and video on each driver in your car.
We’ll also do a lead follow with our coach's car. Another driver will ride in the coach’s right seat so the coach can explain what he is doing. We’ll also take time in the paddock to review the data and identify areas for improvement. Our race coaching produces proven results. Here’s one example: We coached 3 members of a 6 member team before a Lemons race. Those who received coaching were 5 to 10 seconds faster PER LAP than those who did not!
