CORNELIUS, NC - Dallas, Texas native and Pro Star Mazda competitor Russell Walker trekked east today to spend two intensive days with Dr. Jacques Dallaire. Russell heard about the Performance Program pioneered by Dr. Dallaire from other racers who spoke highly about the experience, and decided that the time was right for him to embark on a similar journey. His decision to attend was reinforced by John Walko, team principal of John Walko Racing in the Star Mazda Series. The Walko Racing Team was quite familiar with elements of the Performance Program since the group participated in a team performance seminar conducted by Dr. Dallaire earlier in the year. Armed with important "homework" and a process for personal excellence, Russell is looking forward to their work together at the upcoming Mosport (Canada) Pro Star Mazda weekend.
