Need for Professional Instruction
4X4 tours and trips click here
There are many
people who own four wheel drive vehicles and want to use their vehicles to visit
places off the beaten path. However there is very little or no available
information about the capabilities of their vehicles or driving technique
instruction. 4X4 is a participatory sport that can involve the family and when
drivers have the ability and confidence to drive over long distances, they would
contribute to domestic travel.
Instructors Eddie Alvarado (driving) and Laurence Baraw (spotting) will take course participants through the finer details of 4X4 off road driving
Off Road Trax was designed to train drivers to safely travel the distance especially where the tarmac ends and the 'off road' begin.
Courses are held from time to meet the different driving skill levels. There are currently two courses being offered:
1. Basic Level Off Road Driving (click for details)
2. Advance Level Expedition Driving (click for details)
