DRP - MINI Cooper Challenge / Autism Fundraiser- August 19th

Postby bigcoyote » Thu Aug 09, 2012 10:57 pm

The Driver X Academy has a brand new Advanced Simulation Therapy for kids & young adults with Autism and they need some help getting the additional equipment needed to get the program 100% up and running. On SUNDAY, August 19th, they are going to open up their facility to us (and our guests) so we can see which one of us can drive a MINI Cooper on their simulator the fastest.

The doors will open about 10a.m. and racing will start at 11a.m. They have several simulators so you will be on the 'track' with other members. A series of 'heats' will be held until we get down to the winners. Trophies will be awarded to the overall winner(s).

This is a fundraiser so we can bring guests (just let me have a head count so they can plan ahead for us).

Cost Per Racer is $ 100.00 ( they are a non-profit )

Location: Driver X Academy
4362 N. Diamond Point Circle
Mesa, AZ. 85207

SUNDAY, August 19TH

10:00 a.m.

UPDATE -- All racers will get a Gift Cert. from Driver X Academy good for one FREE session to use at a latter date.

Also there is a gate at the entrance to the Diamond Point Cir. if it is not open - look up DriverX on the call box and they will buzz you in.
