RUN GROUPS


Run Group Classifications

Group A - Novice

Participants that have never driven on a road course, or drivers with limited experience at track events. 

Novice drivers will be assigned an instructor at every event. When an instructor feels that a novice is ready to drive alone, they will recommend an evaluation by a Senior Instructor. Classroom instruction will be provided by one of our Chief Instructors, and is a requirement for all Group A drivers.  Passing is restricted to designated straights with “point by” only.

Group A drivers will learn the basic techniques of:

  • car handling          
  • handling traffic
  • track awareness
  • how to drive at speed
  • approach a turn
  • the fast line
  • what gear to be in
  • how to brake
  • how to exit
  • worker stations and flagging

Group B - Intermediate Solo

Participants that have driven many track-day or HPDE events, or drivers that have been approved to advance from Novice to Intermediate status.

Group B drivers are expected to know the basic techniques of car handling, handling traffic, track protocol, track awareness, including flags and worker stations. Drivers must exhibit the ability drive at or near the limits of their car in a safe and controlled manner. Passing is restricted to designated straights with “point by” only.

 Group C - Advanced Solo / Competition Licensed Racers

Experienced drivers who have completed multiple high performance driving events at the solo level (documentation of experience is required) or drivers with current competition licenses.

Possess the required professionalism of driving at the limit with safety as the number one priority. Drivers must be experienced in unrestricted passing zones. A “point by” is required so drivers are aware of all passing situations.This is the ideal group for racers who need practice, additional seat time, testing car setups, shake-down major changes, or the advanced HPDE driver that is ready to move to the next level!
