It was Terry who brought Driving School curriculum to Skip Barber in 1984, based on a curriculum he designed for the Georgia State Police.

Austen Figueroa
Austen Figueroa works at Fluid Logic, the leader in high-performance Active Hydration™ systems. The importance of staying hydrated during a race is for the most part relatively unknown by the club racing community. Professional racers such as Colton Herta, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Tyler Reddick, 2022 NASCAR Cup Champion, and others have employed a hydration system to significantly improve their on track performance.
Austen will be sharing the data from a study by Dr. David Ferguson of Michigan State University that confirms the important role that proper and consistent hydration plays in a racecar driver’s performance. The study, the first of its kind, quantifies the impact of proper hydration in terms of braking ability, driver errors and late-race lap times.
Here area few of the topics Austen is going to share with you:
- Why you need to stay hydrated even during short sprint racing
- What kind of performance you might expect by drinking during the race
- The downside to sipping water from a drink tube or straw in large amounts a few times an event
