Passing other cars in Group 1 is only allowed on straights and only after the driver of the lead car signals that it’s safe to pass. We automatically provide a certified in-car instructor as well as informative classroom discussions for each HPDE1 driver at no extra cost. Group 1: “Beginner” drivers are those who have driven at zero or very few track days and have never been “signed off” by an instructor for solo track driving. Run groups are based entirely on driver experience and skill: Sessions last approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending upon the event. We have four HPDE groups, which means we run four groups of cars on the track in four track sessions each per day, and classroom sessions in between. Note- All passengers must be at least 18 years old. There are many teenagers and young adults who receive a school entry compliments of their parents who want to teach their kids to be safer drivers. A lot of husbands and wives also team up and use only one car which makes things more convenient. The number of women who are taking our courses has steadily increased and most are very eager to enhance their driving skills. Many different types of people enter our events. Minimum age is 18 (or under 18 with parental consent). As a general rule, an “unmodified” factory vehicle will usually pass tech without any problems, but cars that have been modified (seats, roll bars, belts, etc) must conform to the preparation rules.Īnyone who is a member of NASA may participate. Some convertibles with factory installed rollover protection devices or aftermarket roll bars are also allowed. As a general rule, most late model closed top vehicles in good condition will pass technical inspection. Students bring everything from Hyundais to Ferraris. The car can be bone stock and does not have to be fancy or fast. Progress as far as you wish in your own car at your own pace, become a safer driver on the street, and have a blast along the way! NASA HPDE is “the best money you will ever spend on your car.”īasically, all you need is a safe car and a helmet. You set your own goals and only go as fast as you feel comfortable going.
