CAR CONTROL PRICING —

$475 – $750  First Day – The Reveal

$250 – $500  Skills Development Days

A Full Day of Revelation -$475 Discounted for giving a Testimonial (see below), or $750 for a FULLY PRIVATE LESSON…you choose.

The First Day Reveals your current driving skills to Dellis.  Driving Your Car, you will tell Dellis your concerns navigating city driving then onto freeway sections and even canyon carving.

This session will reveal areas in need of development that go well beyond any “state-approved” training that are basically the training wheels when learning.  Those programs essentially “handcuff” state instructors with teaching only the basics…a sad reality since most of their instructors know little about car control, let alone how to teach it.  Instead, they’re forced to focus on bare-bones of learning since the state assumes you’re ignorant…like them. 😉

This full-day of observation is a low-stress fun day where you will become aware of the myriad aspects of advanced car control available for you to learn.

With simple discussions, you will learn things about driving that you never knew existed.  It is designed to make you aware of the possibilities that lie ahead.  See Lessons Page for the List of Possibilities.

From there, a Custom-Tailored Program will be developed to suit your needs and goals to be done at a private location.  At the day’s end, during a low-key debriefing session at the cafe of your choice, your individual program will be brainstormed.

Your discounted Discounted Price ($250) provided Dellis with b-roll footage of the day’s ride along with a few words about the experience at the end of the day.  You will be given an opportunity to review the short video prior to posting, don’t worry.

Demonstration Rides in #007 Lister Corvette Lightweight Racer Are Included — Provided it’s running, videos of the “spirited rides” can go viral online to help spread the word in social media.

Once Dellis starts driving #007, eye-opening driving secrets for both enthusiasts and casual prospects alike will serve as a prelude for your Custom-Tailored Program that lies ahead for you.

Skill Development Days — $250 – $500 – Half-Day/Full Day

Once the Day of Revelation has been completed, a Series of Skill Development Days will be designed to take your driving to the next level using a Custom-Tailored Step-by-Step Approach…again, done at a private location.

Dellis’ on-camera experience allows him to comfortably explain the purpose of providing instruction to you.

 

RACERS & GEARHEADS —

Proven Track Record — Dellis’ high-performance driving instruction dates back to the mid-’80s when he taught Police Pursuit Driving at the Bobby Rahal TrackTime Driving Schools.  Prior to that, he taught full-time at Skip Barber Racing Schools.

His mechanical engineering degree’s graduating thesis “Vehicle Dynamics for the Racing Automobile” gives him insight into the physics involved, but his ability to explain it in plain English is where Dellis shines.

 

Presentations on the Friction Circle from the DRIVER’s perspective teaches drivers how to analyze steering feel so they can intuitively make the right moves with their hands and feet to get the car to respond according to their wishes.

With 2-1/2 years teaching full-time at the Skip Barber Racing School under his belt, Dellis became the Chief Instructor and led the classroom on weekends at the Bobby Rahal TrackTime Driving School while working full-time as Associate Editor at SAE’s Automotive Engineering magazine during the week.

As Chief Instructor at TrackTime Driving Schools, Dellis was able to fine-tune his presentations over 6-1/2 years so anyone can understand the advanced car-control principles.  He also was able to put a set of custom-molded grips on the steering wheel of Bobby Rahal’s Indy car in Long Beach a month before its official track debut winning the Indy 500 in ’93.

PersonaGrip & The Steering Wheel Guy

Dellis invented and twice patented the custom-molded steering wheels that you see today throughout IndyCar, F1, NASCAR, IMSA, et al.

At the 1993 Indy 500 debut, Dellis designed the steering wheel grips for race winner, Emerson Fittipaldi (Ser.#001).  Other drivers that gambled on that yet untested technology include: Sullivan, Ribbs, Cheever, and St. James.

Mysteriously, the winning steering wheel disappeared during the Victory Banquet that evening.

To this day, no one knows the exact whereabouts of Ser.#001 although Dellis donated a replica steering wheel bearing that serial number and similar engravings to the Indy Museum.  Dellis has since designed nearly 1000+ steering wheel grips as of this writing.

He has traveled the world — Berlin, Dusseldorf, and Ann Arbor, MI — speaking at steering conferences about how drivers can improve their ability to drive on the edges of the Friction Circle using a counter-intuitive relaxed grip on the steering wheel.

A Distracted Drunk Driver Changed Dellis’ Life…Forever.

This life-changing event – that put Ed Dellis in a coma for weeks – is the motivation behind Science Of Driving’s Street Smarts Presentations.

The Street Smarts Presentations will be held at Car Dealerships where attendees can learn Insight Into Vehicle Safety Features gained from working face-to-face with officers during Police Pursuit and Anti-Terrorist training.

Distracted Driving is here to stay, and learning various Defensive Driving Techniques and How to Use Built-In Car Features can help attendees avoid becoming a victim.

However, the Danger Doesn’t End There…

From the minute you leave the safe confines of your home or public establishment, anyone can become a victim of a crime simply walking to your car.

Dellis’ decades of involvement in Law Enforcement opened his eyes to Tricks and Techniques that can Help Your Attendees Avoid Becoming a Victim…Building Trust In Your Community.

Depending on Modules Each Dealer Selects for their Presentations, attendees can even learn how their body language and posturing alerts others with ill intent that they will not become their next victim.

Other Benefits Include Learning…

• How attendees approach and enter their new cars after scanning the area with specific actions to take once inside.
• How to spot suspicious characters in parking lots along with finding the safest parking spot available to avoid break-ins.
• Once underway, how situational awareness and monitoring mirrors for suspicious activity will guide their actions to ensure safe arrival at destinations.
• How to handle tire failures at speed, and where to drive within lanes to avoid hydroplaning.
• Escape Methods from Submerged Vehicles that will Become easy After They Leave with a SPECIAL TOOL Used to Break Glass.
• MORE Techniques  – Maximizing Options of Realistic Escape.
• How to accelerate from stop lights and correct lane positioning when arriving at red lights.
• Merging onto freeways and lane choice for optimal safety.
• How to handle Road Rage.

BioMechanics…

The correct seating position behind the wheel is different for every driver since we come in all shapes and sizes…there is no one set rule.

When to use Left-Foot Braking can be covered along with Proper Steering Techniques. 

Research on this subject comes from Dellis’ decades of experience in IndyCar/Formula One/NASCAR/IMSA custom-fitting the world’s best drivers to their steering wheels with his patented invention, PersonaGrip.

Peer review on this subject at Engineering Conferences in Berlin, Dusseldorf and Ann Arbor, MI went uncontested establishing Dellis as the leading world authority.
