Bruce Ledoux :

Bruce Ledoux drove for a worthy cause at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, on Saturday January 24th.

The SCDA would like to wish our friend and Instructor Bruce Ledoux the best of luck for a safe and fast 24 Hours of Daytona. An experienced and successful businessman and accomplished driver in the Club Racing ranks; this will be Bruce's first start at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. More importantly, Bruce has put forth tremendous effort to channel the excitement of this world premier motorsports event into a significant contribution to Children's Hospital Boston.

The SCDA would like to extend best of luck to SCDA instructors and 2007 Koni Challenge ST Champion drivers Adam Burrows and Trevor Hopwood. Trevor and Adam will be driving for a new team in 2009. Their season will kick off this weekend in Daytona. Despite the diminutive size of their new Mini Cooper S, we are confident that their prodigious driving talent will see these two SCDA Instructors at the front of the pack.

Eric Curran :

SCDA Instructor Eric Curran will be busy at Daytona this weekend.

Last but certainly not least, the SCDA would like to extend best of luck to our good friend and longtime SCDA Instructor Eric Curran. Some of you met Eric when you drove with us at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on July 14, 2008 at our experienced driver day. We are pleased to inform our customers that Eric will be available at select 2009 SCDA events. If you want to learn from one of the best drivers in the country, Eric is your man. Because Eric is so busy, we are not exactly which car he will be racing at Daytona this weekend, but we know where his car will be : leading the pack!
