Why Hooked on Driving?

  • As the premier tracking company in the United States when you get on track with Hooked on Driving you'll experience passionate staff and coaches to guide you through the day and your time on one of the best circuits in the Southeast!
  • Fewer cars on track each run group mean you get more time learning the circuit and your vehicle and less time managing traffic during your laps
    • We are limiting our run groups at CMP to only 26 cars on track at a time, unlike many other groups who put 35+ - THIS IS QUALITY TRACK TIME
  • No need to worry about what the weather is either because at Hooked on Driving you can run windows up!
  • Dinner on Saturday night? That's handled by us, too! Just show up with your car ready to go on track and let us handle the rest of the weekend.
