TARGA - ORP

Welcome!

Due to the soaring success of our previous TARGA Driving Events and Track Days, we're back.  The focus of our track days, and I think the reason our events are so successful, is to explore our car's handling capabilities, acceleration and braking thresholds, in a safe environment; more appropriately, in a FUN environment. Let's face it, most of us will never be professional race car drivers. Most of us aren't driving race cars. To fully experience our car's limits, we need a closed course free of pedestrians, wildlife (aside from the occasional rattlesnake), and cross-traffic. We are happy to facilitate.

Gates open at 7:00 a.m. and gates close at 6:00 p.m. After registration, we hold a track orientation and introduction for those new to ORP.  This also includs driving laps around the track with a lead car to better understand the layout. Bill, at ORP, is an amazing resource and though you may have driven the track numerous times, he's always good for a couple pearls of wisdom. Following the drivers meeting, the track goes live.

All abilities are welcome! We split the drivers into three run groups. Groups run 20 minutes sessions from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and with an open track the last hour until 5:00 p.m. There is an hour break midday where track goes cold.

Drivers will be placed into three categories:
Novice  - 0-2 Track Days

Intermediate - 3-10 Track Days

Advanced - 10+ Track Days

A track day itinerary will be sent as attendance firms up.

Join Targa for both 4/18 and 4/19 and get a package deal.

Targa offers private instruction. Our driving instructors are recommended to us, and certified by ORP. Add this to your track day to provide personal training, and in-depth track knowledge.

Driven on track but never been to ORP? Or, feel like you need to touch up your skills? A One Run Session of instruction is a great fit. One Run Session instruction will be scheduled on a first come first serve basis.

Never been on track before? Want to maximize personal driving development through the course of the day? Achieve that through an instructor for one Full Day.

Safety is our primary concern. You will bring your own vehicle. It may be a daily-driver, modified street car, or fully-prepped racer. Cars must be in good condition. Track Day requirements include (but are not limited to):

• Adequate tire tread

• Proper tire inflation

• Loose items removed

• No cracks in window in drivers view

• Seat belts in good condition and working order

• Driver and passenger seats secure

• Brake lights functional

• The battery needs to be mechanically secured to the car and positive terminal properly covered

• The helmet requirement is Snell SA2005 or Snell M2005, or newer

• Roll bar (convertibles)

• Eye protection (convertibles)

All participants will submit a self-certifications technical inspection form that assures compliance with ORP regulation. ORP does not provide a formal inspection process to determine the compliance status of the vehicle. If, however, there are obvious vehicle issues, ORP management will deny track access. Please review the Self Certification Technical Checklist prior to registration. The Tech Checklist can be read here.
