The HUMMER® Driving Academy is designed for all registered H1, H2 and H3
HUMMER owners who want to prepare for a positive off-road experience with
their vehicle. The four-day (H1), three-day (H2) and two-day (H3) programs take place
on 320 private acres of northern Indiana terrain with obstacles specifically
designed to challenge a HUMMER. Participants can look forward to developing
their skills in current model H1, H2 & H3 HUMMERs. All participants receive
special attention by the trainers, as the student/instructor ratio is
two to one.
"This program can prepare any HUMMER owner for a positive off-road
experience with their vehicle," says Bill Thompson, AM General director
of fleet sales and commercial services and creator of the HUMMER Driving
Academy. "The classes and hands-on driving techniques provided by
the Academy staff benefit both novices and experienced owners alike,"
says Thompson.
Your skills will be developed on a series of "controlled obstacles"
that showcase specific off-road systems of the vehicle. Once you have
mastered the "controlled" setting, your skills will be further
developed on a hierarchy of Level 1, 2 and 3 backwoods trails as well
as classroom instruction on trip preparation, recovery techniques and
proper usage of the Global Positioning System. The 320 acres of trails
will offer a myriad of twisted, rooted, moguled, stump-strewn mud runs;
steep inclines; side slopes; rock crawls; sand pits; ravines; streams;
ponds and more. At the completion of this intense training, you'll drive
away with knowledge, skill and confidence to use 100 percent of your
HUMMER's potential.
