Hi,
If you know anyone that is just getting into 4 wheeling and wanted to
get some training you can pass this on to them. This is the 21th year my
club has been doing this. Most of the money raised by this event goes
back to the 4 wheel drive community. It is a full day of wheeling. FREE
camping Friday and Saturday night.
Next clinic on: May 15th or 16th, 2010
Here more details..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n7P4QvxPXs Introduction:Set in beautiful Hollister Hills State Vehicular Recreational Area, this
course is primarily tailored to introduce those with little- or
no-experience to off-road driving safety and trip planning. Those with
more experience will come away with the knowledge that there is more to
four wheeling than simply shifting into 4WD. Students will get a better
feel for what they and their vehicle are capable of while driving in the
various types of terrain found in our forests and wild lands.
Our
Hands-On Safety Clinic consists of: classroom instruction, two guided
trail tours, and one-on-one guidance through several exercises.
Virtually all four wheel drive vehicles (trucks and sport utility
vehicles) and all levels of driver-skill are welcome (and have been
through our clinic). Students must provide their own lunch but on
Saturday, for a reasonable price, students will have the opportunity to
enjoy a BBQ dinner and talk with the instructors and club members after
Saturday’s class.
