High Performance Driver’s Education 101
Saturday, March 7th – 9:00 to 11:00 AM
Hosted by Porsche Colorado Springs
Have you ever wondered what High Performance Drivers Education Events (HPDE) are really like? Is it racing? Can I use my daily driver? Do I need special tires? Will it hurt my car? Will I feel intimidated by the “track junkies”? What do I need to get started?
To help answer your questions, AMR Porsche Club is hosting a “HPDE 101” session at Porsche Colorado Springs (917 Motor City Dr. 80905) on March 7th from 9:00-11:00 AM. This is a free seminar. Come learn about how to participate in driving your car on a race track. You’ll learn what our PCA High Performance Driver Education (“HPDE”) program is all about and why you should consider joining in on the fun. Our HPDE program focuses on teaching you how to safely control your car on a racetrack. Although our HPDE’s take place on a race track, the skills you’ll learn transfer to the street and highway and just may help you avoid an accident or save your life. We will answer all your questions about taking your car out for a new adventure. You will learn about what to expect, how to prepare, and how to register, as well as a host of other relevant information.
This HPDE 101 introduction is just 6 weeks before our first 2020 AMR HPDE! We currently have four AMR HPDEs scheduled this year:
Pikes Peak International Raceway (April 18-19)
Pueblo Motorsports Park (May 30-31)
Pueblo Motorsports Park (September 5-6)
La Junta Raceway (October 3-4)
We will present an overview of HPDE 101 events and have several of our HPDE participants share their stories. As extra incentive, we are offering a $50 credit towards HPDE registration costs to all “newbies” (first timers) who attend HPDE 101! All members are welcome. There is NO cost to participate in the HPDE 101 session, but RSVP is required. Coffee, juice, and light breakfast snacks will be provided. So, join your Porsche friends, or make some new ones at Porsche Colorado Springs on March 7th!
