Saturday & Sunday HPDE School
Want to learn how to drive or enhance your skills on a spectacular, and challenging track? ARPCA has a long history of making everyone feel welcome and you will see plenty of “non-Porsches” at our events. In-car instruction is provided for beginner, novice, and early intermediate run groups.

Friday Advanced Solo Lapping (ASL) - STUDENTS & INSTRUCTORS
Approved Advanced Solo drivers and Instructors may add May 16 as an optional third day. B solo drivers may apply for Lapping Day with or without prior Nelsons Ledges experience. You may need recommendation from home Chief Instructor if limited logbook experience. C & D drivers are NOT ASL eligible for Lapping Day. Please indicate as part of registration if interested in attending Friday ASL as may not be automatically available, or write track@ARPCA.com

NOTE: Friday is an event option only in addition to Sat/Sun registration and NO in-car instruction provided.

NEW - Permanent Car Numbers
Some drivers have permanent car numbers affixed to their car for other events. To avoid confusion by track workers, we are supporting permanent car numbers. If you have PERMANENT Car Numbers (at least 4" high) affixed to your car on both left and right side, you can request that number. You will then receive windshield, rear, and run group designation matching numbers. Don't request your favorite number just because you like it - you won’t get side numbers - and cannot go out on track without side numbers. First registered will get the number, we will supply an X,Y,Z for the next cars (the second 44 will be 44X)

Run Groups
ARPCA allows you to select the run group you feel most appropriate for your experience and comfort levels. PLEASE NOTE: The Chief Driving Instructor has ultimate decision to accept or reassign any and all driver run-groups based on individual experience detail available from MSR Logbooks, outside CDI recommendations, and or based on total participants registered for event. Selections for drivers are:

                        A :        Advanced Solo Drivers
                        B Solo: Intermediate WITHOUT in-car instruction (must be approved Solo)
                        B Instr: Intermediate w in-car instruction provided
                        C:         Novice/Intermediate drivers w in-car instruction provided
                        D:         Beginners w in-car instruction provided
                        I:          Instructor

NOTE: If you are “waitlisted”, register anyway as you are very likely to get accepted into event in your requested group. Do NOT sign up for an open group as this will just delay placement. Thank you!
