Hi everyone. Before I get to the HPDS details, there are a few things to cover:

First: Per ARMS regulations, student and instructor will be required to wear a mask while in-car.
Second: Everything is subject to covid restrictions. If we have to make any changes to the number of participants or cancel the event, we will contact everyone. Full refunds including deposits will be issued in these cases.
Third: We cannot provide lunch this year. We will have lots of water available on site.
Fourth: Site access will be restricted to students, instructors and volunteers only. If you require someone to be there with you, please ask us.
Fifth: Full payment for the school will be due by May 20th. If you don’t pay by this date, the next person on the waiting list will be contacted.


The ASCC High Performance Driving School for 2021 will be held during the long weekend on Sunday May 23rd and Monday May 24th, 2021. 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 2021 season. A lapping license is required to attend any ARMS lapping events, and a Time Attack License is required for the 2021 ARMS time attack series.


1. ABOUT THE SCHOOL

The High Performance Driving School will take place starting with an evening classroom session on Sunday May 23rd followed by an all day track session at Atlantic Motorsport Park on Monday May 24th. 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. COST

The school will cost $300. 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.

3. WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

A 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 2010M 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 2010 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 and they cannot be shared.

4. WHAT YOU NEED TO FILL OUT

Below are the forms you need to read, understand and fill out for this school. We will not be accepting paperwork in person, so you will need to scan or photograph the filled out forms and send them via email.

A. SoloSport Self Tech Form must be filled out and completed. Vehicle # can be left blank.

B. License Application Form (Leave instructor only section blank)
