2009 Jim Russell Northern California Rotax Challenge Class Champion Prizes:

Senior - The Senior Rotax Champion, we will award Grand Prix Masters Program.

The Grand Prix Master program gets a student behind the wheel of the very cool FJR-50. The program starts with a Driver's Meeting, then you are fitted into your race car: seat fitting, belts, and pedal adjustment. As your race crew familiarizes your with the controls, you will be getting comfortable in the FJR-50, a state-of-the-art formula car based on the championship winning Lola Formula 3 racecar. No school in the world has a car that comes close to this. Following the vehicle fitting we familiarize with both the track and the car. You will be introduced to the track by a professional driver that will show you the racing line and reference points around the track. You will familiarize yourself with the car in a shifting exercise (each car has a Hewland sequential gearbox) and slalom. Following a catered trackside luncheon in the Jim Russell Hospitality Suite, you will begin your lapping sessions on the track, lapping the 2.52 Infineon Raceway at progressively higher speeds. Program Value $2495.00 For a full description go to www.jimrussellusa.com.

Masters and Masters Lite - Each Champion will be awarded a Audi Driving Experience S-Model One Day Program.

The Audi S-Model Program covers the fundamentals of driving followed by lapping on the 2.52 mile road-racing course at Infineon Raceway. The lapping sessions will encompass time in the Audi performance line-up including the S4, S5, S8, TTS along with a taste of the ultra hi-performance RS4 and R8. 2 Programs valued at $1395.00 each. www.truthinengineering.com/audi-driving-experience/.

"This is a great prize package that will motivate drivers to race even harder for the championship." said Adrian Szwarcburg, series organizer. "For the Senior, Masters and Masters Light, a driving opportunity in the FJR-50 and the sporty Audis will be a fantastic experience. Other class get a very valuable track pass so they have no excuse but to practice next year. I would like to thank Jim Russell Racing Drivers School for their continued support of the series."
