ERME Mission Statement
What is“ERME”?

ERME means Equipe Rapide Motorsports Experience. If you have always wanted to know what your car could do if you were on a race track, or how fast you could take that on ramp, but you know the streets and highways are not the place! Now ERME gives you and your car an easy, safe, and affordable way to get on the track! No speed limits, no pedestrians, but best of all, no tickets. ERME allows you to learn how to handle your car at the limit in a non-competitive setting. You set your own goals and go as fast as you feel comfortable going. You can progress as far as you want.

How?

Basically, all you need is a safe car and a helmet. The car does not have to be fancy sportscar, or even a fast car. Drivers bring everything from a Honda to a Ferrari. Read the requirements for the other miscellaneous items required.

Who?

Contact?

Body damage to cars very rarely occurs, however you are encouraged to check with your insurance company regarding coverage.
