Wings and Slicks' professional instructors pass on heart-pumping tutelage during half-day stunt-driving experiences. The adrenalin-packed afternoon commences with a classroom session during which students learn basic driving tips, safety rules, and sweat-gland locations before breaking into small groups of four per instructor. During the four-hour speed school, drivers commandeer automatic-transmission sedans through a variety of as-seen-on-TV stunts including slalom course runs, throttle steering, hand-brake 180-degree turns, reverse 180-degree spins, and accident avoidance. Each stunt is demonstrated by the instructor first before car captains get at least four attempts at the manoeuvre. Skirt and swerve on the open track⎯which boasts slippery surfaces to aid in skidding and spinning⎯to live out your favourite Hollywood chase or trip to the post office. The centre’s speed specialists recommend wearing light, comfortable clothing, and each speedometer-testing session takes place rain or shine.
