Please be sure to register early, as the school may reach capacity. Once we reach capacity, we must waitlist students. Should there be any cancelations, wait listed students will be entered on a first come first served basis. Priority will be given to new students and those who intend to race the 2026 season with at Waterford Hills and with a Waterford and/or SCCA novice permit/license.

Thank you for your interest in the Waterford Hills Road Racing Inc. (WHRRI) Competition Driving School, an SCCA Alternative Driving School (ADS). This school has produced dozens of National Champions. The next one could be you!

The Competition Driving School is for individuals wishing to compete in “wheel-to-wheel” racing events sanctioned by WHRRI, the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), and other sanctioning organizations accepting the WHRRI and/or SCCA driving school permit.

A fully-prepped race vehicle is required (this minimally includes: a full approved roll cage, on-board fire suppression system, race approved 5-point harness, etc). Fully prepped race vehicles may be available for rental from 3rd party sources. A street car cannot be used for the school, no matter how high-perfromnace it is. Rental rates span between $2,000 and $5,000 for the school weekend. If you are looking to run your street vehicle on track, please see the Calendar tab for Open Track Day options.

The school consists of one day of Classroom instruction and two days of On-Track instruction. Students successfully completing the training will be presented with a Novice Competition Permit.

There are also two open track days before the on track sessions to test your car and get some of the butterflies out before you hit the track at school. Check on the MotorsportReg page under Open Track days for dates and registration.

Below you will find the schedule, requirements and registration information needed to register and participate in this nationally renowned Competition Driving School.

We hope to see you at the track, ready to take your first step or return into the world of wheel-to-wheel racing!

Sincerely,
Alejandro “Alex” Della Torre
2026 WHRRI Competition Driving School
