It’s that time again! The ASCC High Performance Driving School for 2017 will be held during the long weekend on Sunday May 21st and Monday 22nd, 2017. 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 2017 season. A lapping license is required to attend any ARMS lapping events, and a Time Attack License is required for the 2017 ARMS Time Attack taking place on September 8-10.
1. ABOUT THE SCHOOLThe High Performance Driving School will take place starting with a evening classroom session on Sunday May 21st followed by an all day track session at Atlantic Motorsport Park on Monday May 22nd. This course consists of a classroom session instructing students on the theory and physics of high performance driving as well as track safety. The following day consists entirely of on-track activities with small groups of students paired to experienced instructors.
We have 30 spots total.
2. COSTThe school will cost $275. If signed off by an instructor at the end of the school, this also includes a lapping or time attack license. In addition, if you are not a member of an ARMS club an additional $30 is required to purchase a membership. A lunch will be included on the 22nd.
3. WHAT YOU NEED TO BRINGA safe street vehicle. If your vehicle can pass MVI it should be OK for the on-track sessions. Vehicles will be inspected for suitability (Brakes, Tires, etc) prior to the session. It is highly recommended that you flush/bleed brake fluid before the event and do not use pads at less than 50% thickness.
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 2005 or newer 'SA' rated helmet. ‘DOT’ helmets are not approved. If you have an SFI or FIA rated helmet it may qualify, please ask.
If you do not have access to a helmet please contact the organizers as loaner helmets may be arranged with advance notice. ASCC has a very limited number of loaner helmets.

DO NOT SEND A DEPOSIT IF I HAVE NOT SENT YOU AN EMAIL TELLING YOU YOU'RE IN THE SCHOOL.
DEPOSITS MUST BE RECEIVED BY MAY 7TH TO GUARANTEE YOUR SPOT. There is a waiting list every year - if we have not received a deposit by then, we will start looking at the first person in the waiting list.
Please keep in mind that Sunday evening during the classroom session is a busy time so the more prepared you arrive (membership already purchased and forms filled out ahead of time) the smoother and quicker the evening will go! Our goal is always to try and get you out of the classroom at a reasonable hour so that you may have a full nights rest before the following track day!
All Schools are first come - first served! Reserve your spot today!
We look forward to seeing everyone at the Track!
