About this event
Twickenham Auto Club Performance Driving School
You're invited to TAC's Performance Driving School. The school consists of three parts, (1) a Friday evening classroom session, (2) one-on-one instruction on isolated drills on Saturday, and (3) a practice autocross which ties all drills together on Sunday. You will learn car control, accident avoidance, emergency lane change, and performance driving techniques in your own car. All experience levels are welcome!

Event requirements
Requirements
- All entrants must have a full and valid drivers license, for example, the Alabama Stage III - Unrestricted drivers license.
- Entrants under the age of 19 will be required to have a parent or legal guardian sign a minor's competition waiver. Waivers are available at the trailer during registration.
- Helmets are required, but we have loaners available.
- All drivers must fulfill their work assignments. Work assignments will be given at the drivers meeting. We do not allow working only half of the day.
Sound Policy
TAC/TVR has a strict sound policy, due to our residential location and agreement with the Milton Frank Stadium owners. Your car must not be louder than 96 dB without exception. Sound will be monitored approximately 50 feet from the course. The type of exhaust (stock vs aftermarket) is not restricted, but it must not exceed 96 dB. If your car exceeds 96 dB on a run, you will be notified, the run will be scored as a DNF, and not allowed to run again. If you show that a modification has been made to reduce noise (driving at half throttle does not count), then you will be allowed to run again. If your car exceeds the limit a second time, you will not be allowed to run for the rest of the day. We want EVERYONE to have a great day autocrossing, please make this easy by fixing your car before the event!
Payment
Online payment only. Payment will be processed when registration closes.
Season passes are not accepted for this event.
