Just got home and unloaded.  Last year after attending the Driver’s Edge, I e-mailed you stating that it was the best time I’d ever had behind the wheel of a car.  Well, that is no longer true.

My second event trumped the prior one and is now tops on my list of driving experiences!

My instructor was an excellent instructor.  I felt that I accomplished my goals for this session and learned plenty more in addition to that.  I was running much faster with a much higher confidence level by my last run today.

Thanks for running a safe and fun organization.  I look forward to my next event!

I had an absolute blast at the track this weekend. Aaron was an outstanding instructor on the track. I accomplished my goals of have fun, don’t bend it and learn as much as you can. I was kind of nervous because it was new track, new car, new group, usually three strikes you are out, but it was a home run instead. Put down a best time of 2:38 in the blue run group. It was really a great blue group did not feel pressured when i was slow learning the track and did not feel held up when I was running at pace and making passes. Can’t thank you and your team enough for a great outing!

You couldn’t be more correct this weekend, ‘playing’ in the rain was physically taxing and mentally exhausting.  After having a couple of days to fully absorb (no pun intended) what all happened during the weekend, I am thrilled with what I learned!  When you get the time, please forward my evaluation since that’s gonna help me too.  If any of the tracks you run a future event at have sprinkler systems, I’d recommend flooding the track during part of a 2 day event as a teaching tool. Folks who only run in the dry are indeed missing alot.

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into making the Toyota Quality Champions Day at the Track a huge success! Our guests will remember this event for a long time to come.

As you are well aware, this was my first time coordinating a race track event. Your patience, professionalism, and humor made my “learning” not only educational, but a lot of fun. And at the event, The Driver’s Edge Team was professional, well organized, and worked with smiles and good humor – all while keeping our guests safe. We couldn’t be happier with our experience, and we thank you for being a valued Gulf States Toyota partner.

Should you have any potential clients looking for a reference, please feel free to provide them with my name and contact information.

Thank you,

I wanted to take a few moments and express to you my feelings on the past event at MSR. I am a very quiet person that hardly ever speaks unless to say hello or goodbye so this email is not my ordinary. There was not one thing about your event that was not superb. From the classroom instruction to the organization with the colored flags! David the instructor that rode with me was awesome. He understood that family had taken me away from driving sports and worked me back in slowly. I know the parade lap does nor seem like much to some, but my 4 small children got the chance to go on the “race track”, it really meant something to them. It was something you guys did not have to do! You have a wonderful program that I will continue to attend as well as tell others about. Thank you for a great event.

Thank you,

Last weekend was much better than I was expecting (and I had high expectations). The one-on-one instructor setup was helpful, the classroom presentations were informative yet entertaining, and the classes and runs were spaced out perfectly. I’ll certainty be coming back for more, with some more friends in tow this time.

I wanted reiterate again my profound thanks for a great weekend. As a new driver in your program, I entered the weekend with some concerns in the back of my mind.

– Will I actually get instruction or will this be just another track day where I’d just run my car and not really learn anything new.

– Lot of people signed up for the weekend, will I actually get time on track, will it be safe, will the organization/execution of the event be well put together or be a cluster

Now that the weekend is behind me, I can unequivocally say that you run one of the finest driver education programs I’ve attended. The event was super organized, everyone was focused on safety and the classroom and on-track instructors were top notch. Best value for the $, bar none.

I came away from the weekend with more awareness of both my strengths and areas for improvement … all while having a blast!

My instructor was fantastic. I don’t know what kind of voodoo you use but somehow you managed to connect me with an instructor who not only could communicate in “my lingo” so I understood what I needed to do, his personality was perfect for me to learn the rather complex track pretty quickly (20 turns.. good grief). I can’t say enough.

All this with just a couple of questions on friday night. like I said, voodoo magic.

Wrapping up, I learned a lot about myself and my Audi R8 this past weekend. It’s made me a better and safer driver (and hopefully, a tad faster). Thank you and your team. You run a class act and hope to see you again in one of your next events.

Just wanted to let you know it was a fun, albeit intense weekend.
I was in the green group. My first time stepping foot on a track, ever!
It was much more than I ever expected. I never in my life drove a car, or sat in someone else’s car taking corner so fast.
It was for the most part scary and an eye opening experience.
I was too tensed up, and didn’t really start to relax and have fun until the last run on Sunday.
Then I started getting more comfortable, and building some confidence, and thisspeed…right up until the moment I went off the track in turn 2.

But I used what I learned in class (looking for an exit strategy) so I went straight off, and didn’t even try to turn the corner until I was clearly off the track.
I did learn a lot of good points in the past 2 days.

Most importantly I feel I learned that I am not as good a driver as I thought I was, and that I have a lot of room for improvement.
Your class was definitely an eye opening experience that I would never have learned on the road by myself.
Thanks for the great instruction and I hope to see you again soon sometime!

I really appreciate the format of the drivers edge and the team that hosts the weekend.  I know you’re always in the midst of the behind the scenes drama.  Your group does a great job.  You have a product to be proud of.  I know you have invested your heart and soul into it.  We are the benefactors.  I just want to say well done.

I guess the measure of a successful weekend is measured by what was learned.  I learned quite a lot.  Figured the car out and changed the handling with air pressure and sway bar adjustments.  Tried different lines and gained some time.  All in all had a great weekend and looking forward to seeing you in November.  Have a great week.

I’ll try to keep this short and sweet but the simple fact is that “The Drivers Edge” is hands down the most fun I’ve ever had on track. It was also by far the most informative. You know that I’ve spent many hours on track at MSRH doing LeMons races and I just want to say that I learned more before lunch on Saturday at TDE then I ever did racing LeMons. Nothing against LeMons, there’s just a massive difference between “track time” and “quality track time”. Also, in my opinion you could not have paired me with a better instructor. Kevin’s attitude and method of instruction had me giggling like a school girl on those corner exits. Please don’t tell him this as I’m sure his ego would swell beyond acceptable proportions.Thank you for a fantastic weekend and I hope you get used to seeing that blue Golf R cause I think I’m going to start being a regular.

Just wanted to let you know I had an amazing time this weekend.  It was a tough, challenging, humbling and rewarding experience.   I learned so much about myself, my car and the course in such a short time.  Your program is something to be proud of.  I said that I wanted to give up Saturday, but I think u and I both know that I never would have, because it’s not in my nature to quit.  I am just so hard on myself to do it perfect, that I let my emotions rule me for half of the day.  But I think that also made me stronger on Sunday!

You paired Aaron and I up perfectly! He was an amazing instructor and I would love to be paired up with him again when I come back for the JUNE class!

Please send me my report card when you get it done, I would love to see it.

Thanks again for a life changing experience.

After my 2nd weekend with your group I was not equally impressed but more so. I realize that I’m not really the best student in class because I’m a type A and a business owner but I wanted to make sure you know that I think you do an AMAZING job at what you do to promote your sport and make people feel welcome and take care of them as well. Both of my instructors have been incredibly tuned in to ME as a student and have helped me develop as a driver unbelievably fast! I came into this with just a good cheater car (M3) and a complete lack of knowledge and am now at the point where I can drive the course with complete confidence that I can either get it right or be able to correct my mistakes and learn from them and improve on the next lap. The 1st time I came out it was wet and cold so the experience was crazy different. I was able to let the car go and realize it’s potential this time. I scared myself a bit both trips but your amazing coaches (Daniel last time, Giano this time) coupled with the class sessions you and your team do gave me the confidence and knowledge to overcome those fears and do more than I ever thought possible! We had an absolutely amazing time together and I will be back as soon as possible!

This weekend was the most fun I’ve ever had, and I have you and your fantastic instructors to thank. Chris, Scott who sat in for a session, the guy who gave me my checkride who’s name I forget. I’m not only driving at the limit, I’m comfortable and confident there. Is it too early to say I want to be an instructor? Eventually! Can’t wait to try a new track. The other half of MSR looks really interesting.

That said, could I please get a copy of my evaluation card?

Sincerely appreciate what all you do for drivers and focus on safety.  See you again soon!

The Drivers Edge program was way more than I expected.

Learned more than I could have imagined with pointers from all your staff and instructors and has put alot of information into perspective and is helping put other information order.

Is a great group and I’ll be back
