Level 3
High-Power Vehicle Training
- Perfect for: Vehicles over 250 Horsepower
- Level 3 is where you get prepared for the power and sensitivity of sports cars and heavy duty trucks. The basic mechanics of a 250+ vehicle are the same, but the big difference is in pedal control. You’re going to need precise shifting, rev matching, and power management so that you protect your clutch when getting the lead out. But even more important is managing all of that power at low speeds. Feathering into a parking spot can be tricky when you have a massively powerful engine under the hood. Your instructor will pay extra attention to pedal control, focusing on toe heel and feathering the clutch so that you maintain smooth and steady control at low speeds. The last thing you want to do is accidentally lurch forward and scratch your bumper.

About Me
Hey, I'm Steven!
When I was growing up, I learned how to drive a manual on the form we lived on when I was 14. My father was a pilot for the forestry and would leave for 6 months at a time so he taught me how to drive the Farm Equipment and trucks that happened to be manual transmissions. He found it very important that I learned at a young age so it would help me in life no matter where I went no matter what I drove I would have the confidence and knowledge. When I was in my twenties, I went to truck driving school and learned how to drive semis. I drove a semi for approximately 2 years before becoming a deputy sheriff in Shelby County TN. It amazes me how in the present day so few people know how to drive a manual transmission it seems like it's a lost art. If people only knew the connection you get with your vehicle when you're driving a stick shift. I have taught my wife my three children and my daughter's boyfriend how to drive a manual transmission. When I saw the ad I thought to myself, it would be nice to be able to pass on the knowledge that I have to somebody and give them a better chance to a job or just able to do something that no one had ever taught them. |
