Ever do the burn-out at a red light? Or taken that curve at more than the “suggested speed,” envisioning a race line while never leaving your street car? We say take that stuff off the street and bring it to the Track! With Performance Driving Experience (PDX) events, you don’t have to dream anymore and it’s much safer for all concerned.
The PDX provides an instructional environment for drivers who want to improve their driving skills and increase their enjoyment of driving their street vehicle. True to the “run what ya brung” adage, all it takes to be a part is your street car, a valid State-issued drivers license, a helmet and long pants/long-sleeved shirt.
You Will Be A Better Driver
PDX events are about you, the driver. Plenty of seat time - two 20 minute sessions are the norm. Plenty of individual instruction and coaching; all of which is designed to educate you and make you more confident behind the wheel.
Participants receive a solid blend of driving instruction, ranging from the classroom to in-car training. A wide range of topics are discussed and shown at a PDX, including: following a “racing line”, passing zones, speed limits and other general driving techniques. Of course, each driver receives feedback from his or her instructor at the end of each lesson.
PDX events are non-competition based - in fact stopwatches are not allowed. Why? Because the focus is on you - it’s important that the skills taught at a PDX are learned beforehand so you can enjoy the latter levels of the program. The PDX is the starting rung of a ladder system - the three other levels of the Time Trials program provide competition - Club Trials, Track Trials and Hill Climbs.
So now the ball is in your court - want to know more?
