Welcome to your next adrenaline fix! We all started just like you - into cars, loving racing, and looking for ways to experience the excitement of going wheel-to-wheel in real life. While there are many ways to get on track these days, we feel the safest (and cheapest) way to get started is through HPDE - High Performance Driver Education. Starting out in HPDE is easy - show up with a Snell SA-rated helmet and a car (just about any road worthy car will do to get started). We will pair you with an instructor who will guide you through the track, driver technique etc. in a safe, controlled environment. Yes there will be other cars on track! Students are grouped according to their ability and experience, with "Novice Group" students being the least experienced. As your skill grows you can move up to faster Run Groups (with or without an instructor in the right seat). Each group has its own track sessions and there are multiple track sessions per group, per day. This is also a great way to level up to a full racing license (many instructors and Advanced Group drivers also race).

Our HPDE program is called Performance Driving School (PDS) and started out years ago as the resident HPDE program at Texas World Speedway. We combine classroom instruction with on-track sessions with an instructor on board for every Novice and limit passing zones so you can focus on learning the line, car control etc. When you are ready to promote out of the Novice Group, which could take one or more weekends, another instructor will do a ride-along evaluation and certify you for the next group.You will also pick up a lot of tips from dozens of more experienced drivers in the paddock, whether its tire pressures, suspension set up or how to interpret telemetry data.
