HPDE

HPDE 1 is where it all starts. If you've never been on track before or would like to be guaranteed an instructor, sign up for HPDE 1. We do not rent transponders for HPDE 1. Selecting the HPDE 1 option automatically assigns you an instructor. Please do not select the Instructor option. One day option will open up prior to the event if there is room. 

HPDE 2: 
HPDE 2 is for drivers that have been signed off to drive on their own, but want more time at HPDE 1 speeds and skill level. So Group 2 is Group 1 (runs with Group 1), but with no instructor assignment. We do not rent transponders for HPDE 2. 

HPDE 3: 
Saturday will work up to additional passing by the end of the day. Sunday will be a continuation, starting with limited passing and then picking up pace and passing areas in subsequent sessions. This should better prepare drivers for Group 4. Sunday only entrants should be aware of this. 

HPDE 4:
HPDE 4 is for advanced drivers with open passing skills. All HPDE 4 drivers who are new to NASA must be pre-approved by the Chief Instructor before being allowed to drive in HPDE 4. 


HPDE Cancellation policy: Full refund less $99.00 processing fee, with notice by the Monday prior to the event, otherwise no refunds. Once the car goes on track, no refunds or credits. No exceptions.

Race & TT Cancellation policy: Full refund less $99.00 processing fee or full credit with notice up to 5 days following the event provided you were signed up for the event at least 14 days before the event, otherwise no refunds or credits.

Instructors

NASA Instructors instructing at COTA will be offered the special reduced entry price of $799 eligible for DE4 or TT. Additionally, each event you worked in 2019 before COTA as an instructor will also qualify you to receive a $399 promo code good toward this event making the cost nearly free. Due to the high demand we expect to receive for these

coveted instructor positions during our COTA event, we will set Instructor registration based upon the number of NASA events you have instructed at during 2018 and 2019. Priority will be given to those with the most days of instruction followed by those with less. This is a way we can provide our regular Instructors with a huge benefit for their

continued support of NASA TX. We will accept instructors based solely on HPDE1 entries and create a waiting list based upon those entries. If someone registers for our COTA event in HPDE and requests you as their instructor, you will be guaranteed an Instructor entry position. We reserve the right to accept or deny instructors based on performance, group capacities, or performance. Instructors should register early and will be contacted for payment 2 weeks before the event.
