Keeler Motor Car proudly sponsoring the Tire Rack Street Survival at the Saratoga Automobile Museum

Keeler Motor Car Company is a proud supporter of the upcoming Tire Rack Street Survival® event at the Saratoga Autmobile Museum in Saratoga Springs, NY (located in the Saratoga Spa State Park)  on June 15, 2013.  This "hands-on" driving experience teaches real-world situations! Tire Rack asks that you use your own car to teach you about its handling limits and how you can control them. The students will become more observant of the traffic situation they find themselves in. They will learn to look far enough ahead to anticipate unwise actions of other drivers. As the students master the application of physics to drive their cars, they will make fewer unwise driving actions themselves. They will understand why they should always wear their own seatbelts, and why they should insist that their passengers wear seatbelts, too.

It's about more than driving - it's about LIVING!

All Schools $75.
