High Performance Driving School – May 22-23, 2016
The first ASCC High Performance Driving School of 2016 will be held during the long weekend on Sunday May 22nd and Monday 23rd, 2016. This session is open to anyone who wants to learn some of the more advanced techniques and track safety to qualify for a Lapping card or Time Attack license for the 2016 season. Remember that you REQUIRE one of these licenses to drive at ARMS AMP events (outside of schools or slalom events)!
The High Performance Driving School will take place starting with a evening classroom session at 6:30pm Sunday May 22nd at 100 Dispensing Way, Lower Sackville followed by an all day track session at Atlantic Motorsport Park on Monday May 23rd. Entry fee is $250.00 which includes the Lapping card and/or Time Attack license for students who successfully complete the school. This course consists of a classroom session instructing students on the theory and physics of high performance driving as well as track safety and the following day consists entirely of on-track activities with small groups of students paired to experienced instructors.
The HPDS Students are required to bring the following:
– A safe street vehicle. If your vehicle can pass MVI its probably fine for the on-track sessions. Vehicles will be inspected for suitability (Brakes, Tires, etc) prior to the session. Convertible vehicles are NOT permitted without adequate rollover protection, factory rollover protection is not enough so please check with the organizers. Please contact the organizers with questions regarding vehicle suitability. Students will be asked to complete a self-inspection checklist provided prior to the course.
– A Snell 2005M or newer ‘M’ rated helmet is acceptable, provided the car is not equipped with a roll cage or racing slicks. Cars with cages and/or slicks will require a Snell ‘SA’ rated helmet. Helmets meeting the following FIA standards are also approved.
FIA 8860-2004
Snell 2005 SA / 2010 SA
SFI Foundation 31.1A or 31.2A
If you do not have access to a helmet please contact the organizers as loaner helmets may be arranged with advance notice.
