Chapterfest Volunteer Staff for HSS requirements on May 12, 2018 (075402) | MotorsportReg.com

The Highway Safety Program looks like this:

Morning sessions

• THRESHOLD BRAKING: Coaches teach the proper techniques of car control while using maximum braking in a straight line and while the car is in a turn.
• SLALOM  : Medium speed serpentine course through safety pylons laid out to highlight car control methods, coaches are highlighting eye - hand movements, “ocular driving skills” and car control
• SKID PAD : A wet, slippery circular course used to coach the entrants on loss of traction and demonstrate front and rear skid recovery techniques. Coaches will teach how to control understeer (when front tires lose adhesion) and oversteer (when rear tires lose adhesion.)

Afternoon Sessions

• LAPS AROUND THE JEFFERSON TRACK: The afternoon sessions will be spent with you driving your car around the Jefferson track, again with your instructor in the car. You are given an introduction to racing lines and racing techniques at a controlled pace. Speeds are limited to 70 MPH.  Instructor assisted passing is allowed.  Cars are staged so they are separated by a large distance. 

We would prefer that afternoon coaches have an HPD background but will work with experienced autocross coaches and again, pair you with experienced HPD coaches first.  

NOTE: Speeds are limited to 70 MPH for this event.
