« on: August 04, 2010, 08:03:51 PM »
SING UP DEADLINE SEPT 15

Join Mohawk Hudson Region SCCA for the First SCCA event on the Monticello Motor Club Full course!

PDX - Friday Sept 24th, 2010 $250 for students +$15 for 1-day membership if needed.


A full day on the Full track with in car and classroom instruction.

What is a PDX? Short for “Performance Driving Experience”, PDX is a non-competitive, non-timed, instructional event. ( AKA HPDE, Drivers school or track day) Open to all SCCA members driving street-legal or lightly-prepared race cars, PDX aims to get drivers familiar with the basics of driving their vehicles on higher-speed courses, typically racetracks.

This is not a racing school but rather a high performance driving school on a race circuit under close supervision by instructors.  You will be taught the fine art of car control and fundamentals of vehicle dynamics.   You will be able to learn the capabilities of your car and improve your driving skills at speeds that are not permitted on public roads.  All drivers will be instructed on safety regulations, and general etiquette on the track.  In addition to the “Pre-Event Safety Inspection” which the driver is required to have performed, an “On-Site Safety  Inspection” will be performed prior to the event.

That's what sucks about these cars. I'm sure they're a blast to drive on a road course, but there are some specific safety modifications that need to be done.

Monticello is nice. That is expensive for one day. For around 450 I get 3 days instruction from Porsche club. They will be at Monticello early October

Actually, there are different SCCA rollbar rules for PDXs.  They do not require the full hoop and downlegs.  Check out the GCRs.
