Trec Drive
Saturday, September 29, 2018
Trec Driving is ideally suited to the recreational driver who wants to enjoy his or her driving partner.
-
- Trec Driving is an informal driving activity consisting of three phases: a judged safety check, a timed 3-10 kilometer cross country drive on roads and trails, and a skills demonstration consisting of up to 10 different driver’s tests.
- Points are deducted for missing required items for the safety check, whole minutes over or under the optimal cross country time, and skipped or poorly-performed driver’s tests.
- Additional points may be added for clever safety items or upping the difficulty level of the driver’s tests. Therefore, it is possible for
drivers to achieve a score of over 50 points. - The biggest surprise about a Trec Drive is that the cross country course is NOT marked. Instead, drivers are encouraged to come early before their start time to view and take notes from a posted map.
Please RSVP to Alicia Pierce if you would like to drive or volunteer at the TREC drive.

Recreational Drive
Drive at will on miles of beautiful country dirt roads and wooded trails. Take advantage of a dressage arena, a cones course, and hazards. Home of both the Metamora Combined Driving Event and the Metamora Pleasure Driving Show, Windrush Farm, home of Frank Andrews and Barb Chapman, is undeniably one of the best driving venues in Michigan!
We hope to offer the Recreational Drive again in the future.
Pleasure Driving Show
We hope to bring this show back to you in the future.
