Welcome to Alberta’s No. 1 Track Day Experience.

Over the last few years, Stratotech Park in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta has hosted many very successful Track Days, Time Attack and Lapping events. For 2012 we are pleased to announce an exciting new partnership that has brought together Terry Johns MotorSport & Dan Beith of Stratotech Park; “It is our hope” say Terry & Dan, “that we will raise the bar of a rapidly growing sport here in Western Canada”.

Who are we?

Terry Johns has been involved in competitive Motor Sport for the past 45 years. During that time Terry has raced Karts, Group ‘A’ Rally Cars, Formula Ford, Formula Atlantic and worked as an instructor at three of the UK’s leading Race Tracks. A former BTRDA Champion and ASWMC Rally Champion, Terry brings his many years of valuable experience to these popular events.

Track Days:

Throughout the 2012 season we will be running four Track Days at Stratotech MotorSport Park. These events have proven to be hugely popular and the best way to improve your driving skills, as well as learning the capabilities of your car. One-on-one in car coaching is available throughout each session.

High Performance Driving School: HPDS

During the 2012 season we will be running five HPDS. Learning how to drive quickly and safely on a Race Track only comes with experience, coaching, patience and a commitment to learn new skills. In the end, the difference between the good and the great is measured by a commitment to learn and apply new skills.

Only 12 places will be available on each school and are on a first come first serve basis.

Tutoring:

Throughout the session each student will have the opportunity to work with all three instructors who will offer in-car tutoring and Hot Pit Coaching.

The school will cover the following topics:

• Reading the road
• Visualizing Racing Lines
• Point of Focus Visual Technique
• Correct use of head and eye movement whilst driving
• Braking - Threshold Braking, Trail Braking
• Understanding weight transfer on approach to corners
• Left foot braking, Heel and Toe braking
• Trailing throttle - Use of throttle to manage weight transfer through corners
• Tire feedback, tire management and slip angles
• Listening to my car
• Walking the track and what to look for

Day Planner:

Please plan to arrive at the Track with a full tank of gas and no later then 3.00pm

3.00 – 3.30 Arrive, empty car & sign waiver
3.30 - 4.15 Classroom & Driver’s Meeting
4.15 – 5.15 Course walk
5.30 – 7.30 Lapping with instructor

Driver Coaching:

Terry Johns MotorSport offers dedicated Track-based Coaching for anyone serious about going quicker on the track. We can help the serious racer to gain valuable seconds, or the beginner to take the first steps towards becoming a quick, safe and accomplished driver.

Rather than having only 15 minutes of glory on a track day with an allocated instructor, you or your group could spend the whole day with your own personal coach. With your coach alongside, you will build lasting skills and develop a new confidence in your own abilities.

Our Driver Coaching Program is designed around your requirements and can be as specific as you want. During each session you will learn Performance Driving Skills such as:

• Racing lines
• Effective braking technique
• Balance and weight distribution
• Turn-in technique and throttle balance
• Looking through bends
• Heel & toe down shifts
• Driving quick whilst remaining calm

If you are trying to find those extra few tenths per lap, improve your driving skills or have your first Track Day experience, we’ll show you how it’s done.
