About this event
The Northwest Alfa Romeo Club has been providing fun and informative Sport Driving events to club members, family and friends, and the car enthusiast community in the Northwest for over 20 years.
On Wednesday, May 30 we invite all our sport driving friends to join us for an afternoon of spirited driving, camaraderie, and good times. This is a late afternoon Sport Driving event being held at Pacific Raceways in Kent, and is an open lapping format designed to provide club members and guests the thrill of driving their beloved Alfa Romeos, FIATs, Maseratis and all other marques in a "spirited" manner on a closed road course. This is an open event for club NWARC members and drivers with other regional club affiliations. A one-day temporary AROC membership will be included in the registration cost for non-members for this individual event, with an invitation to join NWARC (AROC) and enjoy the annual membership benefits: http://www.aroc-usa.org/application.php
Previous driver skills or car control course experience is required as a prerequisite for this event. However, all levels of driving skill and experience are encouraged to register, as there will be experienced in-car instructors available for drivers who have limited experience. There will also be time set aside for a "tour" of the road course for those who would like to take a spirited drive in their vehicles in a lead-follow format.
- Check-in: 4:00pm-4:40pm
- Mandatory Drivers Meeting: 4:40pm
- Open track: 5pm - 9pm
Registration Fee: $175

More on the Sport Driving:
Experienced Drivers
You are considered an "experienced driver" if you have participated in DS (Driver Skills), HPDE (High Performance Drive Education), or open lapping events within the past two years. If you have not been on track in more than two years you will be assigned an in-car instructor who will perform a "check ride." Experienced drivers will be on track together (regardless of vehicle type) in the Inter/Advanced run group. No passengers allowed except designated instructors.
Novice Drivers
For drivers who have limited experience on a road course we will have a Novice run group with in-car instructors available as needed, and the first session will be in a "lead-follow" format. The speeds for this group will be moderate (yet still "spirited") with an emphasis on safety and learning. No passengers allowed except designated instructors.
Helmets and eye protection are required for all drivers. Go to the NWARC Track Events website and check out more information about these types of events: http://nwalfaclub.com/track/track-info.html
