Charlie Henry prepped his own cars to achieve national ranking in Sports Car Club of America competition.  He directed the Waterford Hills club competition driving school, was a Team Shelby “factory” driver in the “Showroom Stock Wars” enduro races and has provided high speed development driving skills to O.E. engineering groups.  An early race car, utilized as a school training aid, laid the foundation for Challenger Consulting’s ability to mix driving, mechanical, training and communication skills to optimize program.
 

Ride and drives, vehicle or component demonstrations, or any activity requiring skilled driving and narration, will benefit from Charlie’s expertise.  Existing programs can be evaluated and improved or new ones built from scratch.  By combining effective education processes with excellent communication techniques, and a love for this type of work, Challenger Consulting will optimize the value of your program to attendees.
 

Driver coaching is the process of an experienced driver effectively communicating hard-earned, practiced skills to another driver.  The process is properly fulfilled when the other driver is able to understand and apply the communicated skills.  Charlie has gained extensive personal satisfaction from seeing his charges apply their new knowledge.  He is particularly satisfied by his results with non-English speaking drivers at Skip Barber Racing School events.  Whether by hand waving or speaking, Challenger Consulting can optimize a coached driver’s skills.
 

Durability validation, brand comparison and component evaluation activities requiring precise, consistent lapping and concise follow-up reporting are also Challenger Consulting specialties.  Strategically restrained enduro race lapping, all-out SCCA national racing and prescribed cycles of development driving enable Charlie to brutally hammer a vehicle or smoothly waltz it around the track.  Real-time cockpit commentary (radio), pit-side discussion of component and setting changes, or post-event reporting, are integral services for optimizing test sessions.
