Friday at the Track (FATT) is an introduction to high speed driving.  It is an instructional event where you can bring your street car out for a day at the track.  You receive classroom instruction, skid pad instruction in our cars (including front and rear skid management), and four sessions of in-car instruction in your own car.  It is a chance to go fast and have fun in a controlled environment.

This event is held on the Jefferson Circuit.

The Jefferson Circuit is a seven-turn, 1.12-mile (1.80 km) road course that was designed and built by Bill Scott as a dedicated course for high-performance, accident avoidance and emergency operation driver training. Opened in 1996, and expanded in 2014 to a 1.7 mile road course, the Jefferson Circuit  demands constant attentiveness and smooth inputs from drivers.

Must be 18 years old to participate.

Pre-Registration Cost: $275.00 per person (plus Motorsportreg.com fees)
