CANCELED -Empire Region Ferrari Club WGI HPDE

The Empire State Region of the Ferrari club of America has just scheduled an event at Watkins Glen Raceway after IMSA canceled their event for Labor Day weekend Sept 4-6 2020

The Empire State Region of the Ferrari club of America invites you to join us for a three day event, Sept 4-6, at Watkins Glen International raceway.

This event is open to EVERYONE.
You don't have to be a member to join us.
You don't have to have a Ferrari to join us.  Drive your own car on the track.
PCA, BMW, and other club members welcomed

• NO PRIOR TRACK DRIVING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE.
• INSTRUCTORS ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT EXTRA CHARGE.

You will be assigned a coach if you are new to High Performance Driving Events.  We offer both lead-follow instruction and in-car instructors (depending on you and your instructor)
You will also be assigned a coach for a checkout ride(s) if you have not been with us before.

This is THE event to experience what cars are really about.. It's the most fun you can have in your car with an amazing group of people!

Registration fees:
The fee is $1,175 and it includes a garage. 
$450 for a single track day - garage space as available
You can select to run 1, 2 or all 3 days.

We offer great VALUE  with 2 hours and 20 minutes of scheduled track time each day.  

We estimate that your 3 days on track will provide you with 7 hours of track time.

We accomplish this by having only 3 run groups, not 4 or 5

Your dollars spent for on-track hours is a very good deal.

We anticipate that we will have small run groups for each session.   You will have a less crowded track experience.

Note: Due to track's policies no guests will be allowed at the event.  Pit crew are allowed
