[BLACK04SVT]

Im definitely going to try to be at this one. a few people have mentioned that this event in the past has been for experienced drivers, is this true? i was hoping for this to be my first HPDE.

[cobrabitn]

You do not have to be an experienced driver to attend, we will have instructors on stand by for novices. Spread the word!!

[cobrabitn]

List updated!!

[Cwajciec]

I am also thinking of making this my first event. Are there inspection requirements that need to be done to the car before hitting the track? I have a 93 Cobra.

[cobrabitn]

Your car will have to pass a tech inspection. Event forms will be posted in the first post. Just make sure you have new pads and that your brakes have a fresh flush prior to coming to the event. Bring a Helmet, SA 2005 or better and some long sleeve shirts with you. We'll assign an instructor for you over the weekend. The first time is always a lot of fun.

BTW, what color is your 93? I'm sure Daniel will be bringing his teal 93 with him.

[Cwajciec]

Thanks for the info. I can do the brake flush and new pads myself before the event. My 93 Cobra is red and is basically stock but well maintained. I think I might try a single day to start.

[cobrabitn]

A single day is good, it'll get you primed for our big May event.

[mcquik]

Sending in registration and check today.

[shelbygirl]

I will be sending in the info for us today. I have also made reservations for us at the paddock

Scott Brady
2003 Sonic Cobra Coupe

[cobrabitn]

It will be an "open" format so you will get a ton of track time. We will have one run session for novices and hyperdrives.

As any High-Performance Driver’s Education enthusiast knows, finding the coverage you need to protect yourself during events is almost impossible. Over the past ten years many auto insurers have changed their policies to exclude coverage for claims "occurring on a surface used for racing", "at a high-performance driving event", or "use of an auto at a racetrack". The SCMC and Lockton HPDE Insurance Program are pleased to offer physical damage insurance for vehicles used in high-performance driving schools and tracks across the ffice:smarttags" />lace w:st="on">United Stateslace>. We offer both single-event and annual, multi-pack policies, so you can pick the type of policy that most closely fits your needs. It’s fast and easy to secure coverage! Our easy online system lets you get a premium indication instantly and you can even purchase your insurance policy electronically. It’s insurance at your fingertips.


Please visit http://hpdeins.locktonaffinity.com/ for an on-line quote or to complete an application. Single day event policies start as low as $87!

Note: This insurance policy provides physical damage coverage for your automobile while you are participating in a High-Performance Driver Education event. This physical damage coverage will begin when you enter the grounds of a race course and end when you leave the race course premises. Liability coverage is not included in this policy.
