    TO DO: Build your Learning Plan

    We've built an online learning system into our website which is used to educate, track and evaluate skills. This system is also used to move drivers into higher run groups.

    For instructed run groups (Acclimation, First Timer, Novice), your instructor will work with you and use this system to evaluate the items in your Hot List, updating the status of those skills and/or leaving notes for you.

    For non-instructed groups (Novice Solo, Intermediate, Advanced), you are still encouraged to use My Learning, build a Hot List, and work with your group leader via check rides so they may update your learning plan, as this is what is used to evaluate potential moves to the next higher run group.

    TO DO: Get Vehicle Numbers

    If you know you need numbers,PRE-PURCHASE THEM ONLINE NOW! 

    (If you added them onto your event registration, no further action is needed.)

    We will NOT be accepting cash at the event.

    Pre-purchasing these now will greatly speed up the tech line!

    Numbers will be randomly assigned and you will NOT be able to choose or request a specific number. You will receive your purchased numbers when you go through tech inspection.

    Numbers are required on all vehicles driving on track. You may bring your own as long as they meet requirements (more on that here). 

    TO DO: Get Camping Pass

    Each person camping overnight must purchase a camping pass (unless age 12 and under).

    • For multi-day events, your camping pass is good for the duration of the event (consecutive days at a single venue).

    • Camping pass wristbands are required for anybody on the track property after 7:30pm.

    • Guests pick up your wristband at Hospitality between the hours of 9:00am-4:00pm. Drivers, these will be in your driver packet at tech inspection.

    • Electric hookup is NOT included in your camping pass and must be purchased separately. See "Tracks" in the main menu for electric availability and reservations.

    If you did not add your camping pass at time of driver registration, get your camping pass here.

    2. Take your car through the tech inspection line to check-in and pick-up your driver packet/credentials and complete your annual tech inspection. We will have a record that you have purchased your Fast Pass, so no need to bring any printouts with you.

    HPDE Protection Plans protect you from losing registration costs when life happens; protection from mechanical issues, sickness, injury and even WEATHER! Learn more here.

    HPDE Protection Plans can be purchased at time of event registration OR can be purchased separately. ALL HPDE PROTECTION PLANS MUST BE PURCHASED AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR TO EVENT DATE TO BE VALID! 

    By purchasing an HPDE Protection Plan you are indicating that you have read and agree to all the terms and conditions listed on the HPDE Protection Plan information page linked here.

    OPTIONAL: HPDE Insurance

    We are not responsible for you or your vehicle.  Your auto insurance coverage at HPDE events can vary widely between different carriers.  Some insurance carriers provide zero coverage whatsoever at any "race track facility".  Some will provide coverage when participating in non-competitive educational events such as ours in accordance with your normal "street" policy.  Some provide coverage for events at race tracks only with a rider or additional charge.

    It is your responsibility to check with your individual agent or insurance company in advance of participating in any event to be sure you are satisfied with the level of coverage you will have while participating.

    AutoInterests is partnered with Lockton Motorsports for HPDE Insurance coverage. If you are at all concerned about your level of insurance coverage at the track we strongly suggest you consider purchasing a policy that guarantees your coverage.

    Learn more & purchase HPDE vehicle insurance coverage through Lockton Motorsports.
