About this event
Once again, the Boston Chapter is proud to host an Intensive Performance Driving School at Watkins Glen International!
We have run groups for 3 levels of student at this event:
1. Intermediate run group - if you have more than 8 days total on any race track, including at least 4 days at Watkins Glen, sign up for the Intermediate run group. We are scheduling 2 hours of track time per day for this group, including time on the original/NASCAR Short Course to help you prepare for events at the Glen later this season while the Boot is closed for repaving.
2. Intensive run group - If you have more than 18 days on track, including at least 8 days at Watkins Glen, sign up for the Intensive run group. All applications will be reviewed by the Registrar to verify the experience level and evaluation history of the applicant. This group is scheduled for more than 3 hours of track time on the first day, and 2.5 hours on the second day, including 2+ hours of exercises designed to raise your situational awareness and help bring your driving to the next level, plus time on the original/NASCAR Short Course to help you prepare for events at the Glen later this season while the Boot is closed for repaving.
3. Independent Study Group - if you are a current particpant in the Boston Chapter's ISG program, sign up for ISG. ISG students are scheduled for more than 5 hours of track time per day. Students in other chapter's advanced programs, such as A-Solo/S-Group, may apply to drive in ISG by emailing the registrar with their driving resume.
Please note, this event is a special "intensive" HPDE, with a very limited number of student slots available. This event will sell out so we encourage you to register early and plan for a lot of track time.
There will be no car sharing possible at this event due to the Intensive format.
