Kick off your Memorial Day weekend at this Friday-evening SCCA track event at Autobahn Country Club. If you haven’t driven at a track day before, this is your chance to take your street car (no trucks or sports utility vehicles) on a real racetrack under the watchful eye of an experienced driver in the car with you.

We’ll be driving on the Autobahn North Course – a 1.46-mile circuit with a nine turns and two straights designed to test your abilities. There will be three run groups divided by experience: novice (0-2 track days), intermediate (3-5 track days), and advanced (6+ track days). Each run group is scheduled to have three 20-minute sessions; the schedule may be adjusted in response to changing conditions.

The fee for SCCA members is $145; for nonmembers, $160. Not a member? You can join now at scca.com.

Check-in on event day begins at 2:30 p.m. There is a mandatory drivers’ meeting at 4, and on-track activities start

Run group assignments are made by SCCA staff after you register. Please provide information about any autocross and non-SCCA track driving experience so you can be assigned to the correct run group. Novices will have an experienced driver riding with them during at least one of their three sessions.

The goal is for you to have fun with your car and become a better driver. We hope you’ll be there!
