FULL COURSE

 

This event is a three two day high performance driver's education event with an optional time trial for qualified drivers.  You can expect four 25 to 30 minute driving sessions each day with classroom discussions held between sessions for instructed groups.   Students will be grouped based on experience level into FOUR groups:

  • GREEN for novice and beginner students (generally 0-3 events)
  • YELLOW for novice/intermediate students (3-10 events)
  • BLUE for upper intermediate/advanced students (10-40 events)
  • RED for upper advanced/instructor overflow (30+ events with verifiable solo experience)
  • WHITE - Instructor group.  For instructors we have two options.  See registration form for details.

Due to low registration numbers for the Friday portion of this event, we have chosen to cancel Friday and just run our standard HPDE schedule for Saturday and Sunday

Event requirements

THIS EVENT WILL RUN RAIN OR SHINE ** We will not run in heavy fog (corner workers must be able to see from one station to the next).

This is NOT a race school - Our events focus on learning proper high performance driving technique that will translate well into both street and track use. We focus our instruction on car control, on-track protocol, and advanced techniques that will be used with most clubs that run on-track driving events. We pride ourselves on the safety of our participants and our guests. We have developed an event that we feel offers the most value for your track dollar while keeping the costs reasonable and the risks minimal.

Helmets must be Snell SA2005 specification minimum. We do not accept M rated helmets of any year, nor will we accept Snell rated helmets older than 2005.   We have a very limited supply of loaner helmets that can be reserved on a first-requested, first-served basis.

All participants' cars must complete our annual vehicle inspection which will be good for the calendar year before attending their first event with us each year. The inspection can be performed at any of our annual inspection days (announced on www.timetrials.net) or at any independent shop with access to a car lift. The inspection form must be completed and signed or stamped by the mechanic.

THSCC event staff will review the form at event check in and a THSCC tech sticker will be issued (if one was not recieved during the inspection).  The annual inspection form can be found hereTHSCC does NOT do on-site tech inspectionsYou must have this inspection completed before you arrive at the event.  (However, Time Trial equipment can be inspected on site.) 

All convertibles participating in the event (HPDE AND Time Trial) must have an SCCA Approved 4-point structural roll bar built to SCCA GCR specifications for Time Trials. Factory roll-over protection is not acceptable for our events. *********Effective January 1, 2011, THSCC will be requiring approved head and neck restraint devices be worn to participate in the Time Trial Series.********* Please see our tech guide for more details.

All participants, staff, and guests must sign the event insurance waiver at time of check-in. Everyone may also be required to sign the track's waiver as well. Armbands will be issued when the waiver(s) are signed and must be worn at all times while on track property.

Each track has its own set of rules and regulations regarding the use of its facilities. A copy of these rules is available upon request from Track Management or THSCC .  All participants and their guests are required to abide by the track's rules and regulations. Any infractions may be cause for expulsion from the event and any fees charged by the facility for rules violations will be assessed to the individual(s) responsible.

All participants will be expected to read and follow the guidelines set forth by THSCC to ensure a safe, fun, and extremely rewarding event. You will receive event-specific information via email about two weeks prior to the event, but please feel free to contact us at any time if you have questions or comments.

Please note: THSCC requires credit card information upon registering for an event. However, we will not be charging your card until August 15, 2012. If you would like to make other payment arrangements, please email us immediately after submitting your entry online.  If you do NOT want to give your credit card information, please email us BEFORE continuing with your registration.
