High Performance Driving Events. Have you always wanted to experience the thrill of speed and learn the limit of your vehicle?

Set your own goals for advancement in the HPDE skill levels, HPDE Groups 1 through 4. All you need is a reliable car, a helmet and a good attitude! As a general rule, most late model closed top vehicles in good condition will pass technical inspection. Some convertibles with factory installed roll bars or aftermarket roll bars are also allowed in HPDE. View more info on HPDE.

NASA FL racer Scott McKay won his 3rd consecutive NASA championship in Factory Five Challenge at the 5th annual NASA National Championships at Miller Motorsport Park in Toole, Utah this weekend. View NASA Championships results here. Play by play recap by Scott's brother Mark McKay: "In Friday's qualifying race, Scott's fuel pump pickup tube fell off and he finished last in the race, which set his position for 10th in Saturday's final race. As it turned out, Paul Kaiser won Friday's qualifying race, but he was found to be too light in the post-race impound, so he was penalized with last place after the race (bumping Scott up to next-to-last), and Paul would start Saturday's final in 11th place. Scott was more motivated than usual during Saturday's final race, and went from 10th to 3rd under braking for the first corner of the first lap, while Kaiser was mired in traffic. It didn't take Scott long to pick off the 1st and 2nd place cars so that he could assume the lead, but with a handful of laps to go and with a 6 second lead, the engine started going south and he was giving up 1 second per lap. Fortunately, the laps ran out before his lead did, and he was able to hold off the other challengers for the win."

Eric Gebhardt charged back on Sunday and took first place in SMC. Brian Goldburg, Panoz ST 1 racer turned heads when he took first place overall in the Sunday combined Thunder and Lightning race finishing 2 laps ahead of his nearest competitor. Special thanks to those who pitched in for a group effort to sponsor the Saturday social and purchase the hot pizza and favorite adult beverages that top off a great day at the track...this includes Ivan BeRossy, Doug McCabe, Neil Feinstein and also Ken (the tech guy) & Mona (the waiver girl) who made the trip into town to pick up the transport the pizza to the track.
