The 2022 ARMS Race School will be held on June 3rd for classroom, 4th on-track driving and 5th Race day. Due to limited instructors, it is only available to those who intend to race in ARMS Road Racing events (TRAC GT Sedan Series, ARMS Pro-Stock etc.) This advanced driving course will provide you with techniques towards driving competitively at AMP in the heat of traffic, safely and hopefully quickly! The school will consist of a mandatory classroom session, a full day at the track on Saturday with a school race at day’s end and then the regular full TRAC schedule of racing on Sunday. Full safety equipment and a completed medical are required for this school race. The instructors will teach you theory and safety with a personal instruction on a one-on-one basis. Anyone who successfully completes all requirements will be given their novice race license once the school race is completed on Saturday. They then become eligible to compete in the races on Sunday!
Race school participants have the same requirements for the Saturday session as the High Performance Driving School. A safe street vehicle can be used for the Saturday morning track sessions; however, a full race-prepared vehicle and ARMS mandated safety equipment are required for Saturday afternoon as well as the school race.
NOTE: The vehicle used for the Saturday morning school sessions MUST have a passenger seat with appropriate passenger restraint (OEM 3 point belts or valid multipoint race harness. (Convertible vehicles are not allowed except with additional roll-over protection. Please contact the organizers with any questions.)
For series rules and safety requirements see below.
Participants who are planning to obtain their race license should be prepared to provide a completed ARMS Medical form to the Friday Evening classroom session. (For details and copies of the forms see links below.)

NOTES:
If you plan to race in 2022 but are unable to have a race car ready for the School Race, this is not a problem. You can still attend the Race School and then when your car is ready you can come out to any other race weekend throughout the summer and we will treat that weekend as your Race School Race.
The Novice Program runs for 12 months from your first race weekend. What that means is the entry fee for your first 12 months of racing will only be $250 per driver even if your first race isn’t until Aug 2022 for example, then your entry fee will not change until Aug 2023.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the track!
