About this event


  • SAFETY FIRST!!
  • Staffed with expert instructors, corner workers, medical and safety teams.
  • Almost any modern street car and fully-prepared competition race cars are also welcome.

All drivers are classified per experience.

Your first visit to this track, one of our instructors will accompany you in the opening session, for an evaluation. You will get an orientation to the line, and we will observe while you demonstrate clean, consistent, fluid laps, with excellent car control, traffic control, and track conditions at which time the instructor will classify you in the proper run group.

 

 

 

 

 

Event requirements

              We are offering three run groups:            NOVICE              INTERMEDIATE            ADVANCED

 

Novice: 0-15 days’ track experience, just starting in track days. A qualified instructor is assigned to provide driver coaching on road course skills. A driver that is new can expect to be classified as novice, with an assigned instructor, for a minimum of 5 or more track days.  All drivers must be signed off by an instructor for advancement to next skill level. Passing requires a point-by passing signal, and passing zones are restricted to straightaway only.

 

Intermediate: 15+ days track experience. Drivers that have substantial experience on track.  Drivers at this level have received numerous days of in-car coaching/on-track instruction. The driver has been signed off by instructor to run as Intermediate. Passing requires a point-by signal, and passing zones are unrestricted.

 

Advanced: 50+ days track experience. Our top classification includes drivers with years of experience and thousands of laps at numerous different tracks. The driver's road course skills and traffic management are instinctive. The driver has superior situational awareness and is capable of multi-tasking at a very high level. Heel/Toe downshift technique is second nature. Drivers at this level are comfortable with side-by-side conditions, safely passing through corners, driving off-line, and promptly yielding to faster traffic. No Point by Necessary and passing zones are unrestricted.

 

Instructors: Instructors can sign up at no charge and instruct in the novice group and run in the appropriate group throughout the day.
