Introduction to High Performance Driver’s Education!
For those of you that aren’t yet ready to commit to a full weekend of HPDE at NJMP Thunderbolt, we’ll be running an Introduction to Driver Education program on Saturday May 23 for you to experience what we enjoy so much! Entries are limited so it’s first come first serve. Please sign up early!
Register today, drive down in the morning, join us for a “Mini DE” and be home for dinner! You’ll experience a classroom, driver’s meeting, orientation laps and drive your car on track at speed with an experienced instructor to help you exploit the capabilities of your Porsche! You’ll be done by 2:00. Feel free to hang out and learn more, or head home and join us next time!
All cars are required to pass a pre-event inspection which will be held on Monday, May 11th at PowerTech in Rockaway, NJ. Additional links and requirements are listed in the next section.
On Saturday May 23, you should arrive by 10:00 a.m. and expect (times subject to minor modification):
- 10:00: Arrive, Register (at tower), bring your car through tech inspection and orient yourself in the paddock
- 10:15: Apex Pro Shop for Helmet fittings
- 11:00: Tech Inspections
- 11:30: Dedicated classroom to learn the flags and track procedures
- 12:40: Orientation Laps at highway speeds to familiarize yourself with the track and learn “the line” – the fastest way around the track; and
- 1:15: Dedicated track session with an experienced instructor guiding you around the track.
Our motto is “safe, serious, fun.” Simple and true. The “safe” part means we take pride in your car leaving our events as beautiful as they were when you brought it to the event. We’re serious about developing skills that make us better, more capable drivers. Most importantly, we are about having fun. No speed limits, no cops, no stress. If you don’t leave with a giant smile on your face, we’re doing it wrong. Let us know.
