This will be the only ASCC school for 2018.
It’s that time again! The ASCC High Performance Driving School for 2018 will be held during the long weekend on
Sunday May 20th and Monday May 21st, 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 2018 season. A lapping license is required to attend any ARMS lapping events, and a Time Attack License is required for the 2018 ARMS time attack series that will take place in June, July and September.
1. ABOUT THE SCHOOLThe High Performance Driving School will take place starting with a evening classroom session on Sunday May 20th followed by an all day track session at Atlantic Motorsport Park on Monday May 21st. 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 $280. 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 21st.
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. Cars with rollcages 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 so it is first come, first serve.
