HPDE - How you can get on track.

Published by dpereda at 10:46 am under Getting Started, How To, NASA, Racing Edit This

Have you ever thought about getting your car on a race track?  Do you think it is impossible or just too expensive? Well you’re sadly mistaken.  It is quite easy and for a little as $50.The National Auto Sort Association or NASA holds High Performance Driving Events or HPDEs all around the country.  Though they may be had to find in the winter, they are normally easy to find in the summer.  Head on over to nasaproracing.com and look for your region’s event calendar for a date and time near you.  HPDEs are normally and all day affair and run you up to $300, but if you don’t have the time or the money you can sign up for a Hyperdrive.

A hyperdrive is normally $50 and gets you a classroom session and 20 mins on track with an instructor.  On the track you can go as fast as you or your car can handle safely.  I will warn you that your first 20 mins on the track will only feel like 5 mins.  You will want more time and HPDEs will get you an hour on the track.

Here is a Video of one wet lap from this weekend HPDE.
