ADSC Sponsored Events

Arizona Driving Trials Series

A series of 6 one day events at various locations in the northern, central, and southern areas of Arizona. Points accumulate for
for Year End Awards. Open to members only.

Darby Competition
A new event for ADCS. The first one was held August 4, 2007. Link to Darby information.

Pleasure Driving Shows
The Festival of Driving Pleasure Show is held each spring near Easter. This show has a variety of classes in pleasure driving,
reinsmanship, and some games classes as well. This is a one day show and open to anyone, and held at West World in Scottsdale for the past number of years.
Scheduling problems and lack of willing organizers meant no show in 2007. Future shows are possible, but not currently scheduled for 2008.

Combined Driving Events Competitors must be members of ADS or pay a non member fee.

Two CDE competitions are traditional in Arizona.
The Arizona Combined Driving Event is ADS and has sometimes USEQ recognized and held at Goree Farms in Coolidge, AZ in March. The 2006 and 2007 events offered Training through Intermediate Levels. Prior years havd offered Advanced.

The Old Pueblo CDE, ADS recognized and held at the Fairgrounds in Tucson, AZ in November or December each year, was discontinued after the Dec. 2005 event. Furtue "Old Pueblo" events are uncertain.

Grass Ridge Farms in Sonoita began to offer a CDE in 2005 and expanded to include Intermediate Level in 2006. While not a club sponsored event, many club members will compete at this event which is hosted by club members George and Nina Masek. The 2007 event will be in November.

Pleasure Drives
Held in various locations and at various times, pleasure drives give members a chance to get out with their rigs and
enjoy the surroundings and other club members in an informal atmosphere. Drives often end with a pot luck meal. Many ADCS members enjoy drives with a Tucson area driving club, the Desert Harness Drivers. Dates are listed on our calendar.

Clinics
ADCS invites clinicians in several times during the year. Many clinics run over a two day period allowing for more members to participate, or multiple lessons for the same driver. Recent clinicians have included Lisa Singer, Muffy Seaton, Olyf Nyby, and Paul Sidwell who was sponsored by Grass Ridge. Grass Ridge will have Larry Poulin in November, 2007.
See the calendar for future dates. Local members also hold "beginners" clinics when there is a demand.
