HPC is a driving experience.
It is an introduction to on track driving; the
skills involved, the performance limits of your
vehicle, and an exposure to the sport of motor
racing. All this is accomplished in a safe controlled
environment with the objective of instilling the
passion of motorsports to a far-reaching audience.
The fun factor and the entertainment aspect of
the sport are emphasized through social events
and information sessions intermingled with the
on-track driving. The sporting nature of personal
growth and mental challenge is also built into
the event with rewards and stages for skill levels
while adhering to rules and safety.

HPC GROUPS
The Challenge: The participants are separated
according to their experience level into four
basic groups: One, Two, Three, and Four. There
are no speed limits in any of the groups, and
the novice drivers are assigned instructors for
safety reasons. Strict passing rules are set for
the lower groups and are altered throughout the
day to allow for a full experience of on track
driving. Run Group Explanation:
Group one (1)
This is where you begin. One-on-one guidance from
experienced drivers is provided, as you learn
to control your car and yourself. Your instructor
will provide you with information on techniques,
racing lines, braking points, safety guidelines
and track etiquette as you learn to drive at the
limit. You will address how to approach a turn,
the fast way around it, what gear should you be
in, how to brake, and how to exit. Passing is
limited in the Group 1 Sessions to the straights.
Group two (2)
Either your instructor has determined you can
drive on your own and with less supervision or
you have previously been on the track and feel
you can be safe without an instructor in the car
with you. The pace is faster, but the passing
rules are similar to Group 1 in the beginning
sessions. Passing rules however get more relaxed
at the end of the day.
Group three (3)
You have progressed to the world of high performance
driving. Group 3 is for drivers that are familiar
with the track, rules and safety and are able
to comfortably share the track at high speed with
others. Passing rules in group 3 are not as strict.
Group four (4)
Congratulations! You have made it, no passing
restriction except those of good judgment and
rules of the track etiquette. This is the Racers
Group. Catered to experienced drivers, you and
your peers are now experiencing the joys of doing
it right in a safe environment!
