High Performance Driver Education (HPDE)
High-Performance Driver Education (HPDE) is for everyone that wants to improve their driving technique. RallyPro Performance Driving School instructors have taught professional race car drivers, teen drivers and military forces, so they have a wide and diverse range of tips for any driver no matter their driving skill!
If this is your first time attending an Open Track Day or HPDE, we will require a 20-minute driving instruction session taught by one of our RallyPro Performance Driving School instructors. These sessions are so our stewards can get to know you, cover the basics of our dynamic track, as well as make sure everyone on track knows they are on the track with other instructed drivers!

Helpful Driving Tips
- Take everything out of your glovebox! This has nothing to do with your driving, until the glove box pops open, and things fly about at 110 mph.
- Understand grip. When the steering wheel is turned, you lose braking and acceleration grip. When you are on the limit of either braking or acceleration, you lose turn in grip.
- Be smooth with your inputs. Controlled inputs allow you to carry more speed through corners.
- Understand weight management. When a car understeers, or pushes, correct this by lifting or braking to put more weight on the front end and if extreme then straighten out the wheel and scrub speed. When a car is oversteering, add throttle to transfer weight back onto the rear tires and regain traction.
