About this event
Come join the NSX Club of America (NSXCA)
HPDE at High Plains Raceway
September 17th-18th, 2012
NSXCA's highly professional and safe track events, run annually for 15 years, offer students four 35-40 minute track sessions per day along with 2 classroom sessions. You'll appreciate the extra 10 minutes per session that our HPDE event provides over many other club events*.
Our track events are known for having small run groups and this event will be capped at well below the typically 60-150 or more participants that some clubs have. Open track and Instructor run groups enjoy track sessions with very low numbers, usually only 15-20. It's like having your own track day for a fraction of the cost!
Student Registration before Aug 1, 2012 $299.00
Student Registration Aug 1 - Sept. 7, 2012 $350.00
Instructor Registration until filled no charge
For the Novice Driver HPR provides lots of run-off room and is an easy-to-learn 15-turn track. making it a superb event for the first time student. The NSXCA is a professionally run safety conscious club with experienced instructors providing a low-key supportive environment for learning High Performance Driving. The skills you learn in the classroom and on the track can help you be a safer driver on the road. Why don't you make this the year you try High Performance Driving?
For the Experienced Driver HPR is a great track for a 2 day High Performance Driving event. Fairly easy to learn, yet deceptively challenging to master, you will have plenty of time to explore the best lines through the varied elevations. You'll perfect the technical areas of the track while having a great time on High Plains Drifter, To Hell On A Bobsled and the Prairie Corkscrew. NSXCA provides accomplished Instructors for all students to help you get the most out of your track time allowing you to improve your performance.
NSXPO, the NSXCA's annual convention, has been hosting a track event in North America and Canada since 1997. You don't need an NSX to join us though you'll have the opportunity to drive with quite a few on the track. Come join us.
If you are a new Instructor for our organization please contact the Chief Instructor at NSXpoHPDE@gmail.com prior to registering.
*Red Flag events could alter the session times.

A working Communicator is highly recommended.
A passenger seat is preferred - part of your job as an instructor is to take your student(s) around the track in your vehicle to demonstrate some of the skills you are trying to teach them.
Instructors should contact the Chief Instructor at NSXpoHPDE@gmail.com if you have not instructed with us before.
We sincerely appreciate and thank you for your participation!
