“We’re excited to get back into action in 2020 after this spring holding pattern,” said Sonny Gee, director of The Mid-Ohio School. “We’ll start with our High Performance courses on track then move into the weekend with our first Teen Defensive Driving programs teaching life-long skills to the youngest drivers.”

The Mid-Ohio School offers driving and riding instruction to drivers and motorcyclists of wide-ranging experience, from teaching teenage drivers life-saving defensive driving techniques to coaching professional racers for an extra edge in competition at speed around the race track. The Mid-Ohio School also offers Open Test & Tune twilight events on select late afternoons and evenings for drivers to take their personal street-legal cars or race cars on track.

Two of the vehicles are equipped with skid systems to practice oversteer and understeer car control techniques often encountered in inclement weather conditions and emergency situations.
