High Performance Driver's Education

Welcome to Oregon Region's High Performance Driver Education Program. We hope you will find these pages informative. If you should have any questions regarding any part of this program, please call or email any of the driver education officials below.

We had a great year in 2007 and we are looking forward to 2008. We are excited about our program in 2008. We have 9 HPDE days on the calendar. I know that is a lot for the Portland market. My reasoning is that we asked for the remodeled track we should pay for it. For our program, instead of raising the fees, I increased the number of days of fun. More seat time for the money. We have 6 weekday events that open to participants at 7am and end around 4pm. We offer three Sunday events that start in the late morning with first car out after lunch and run past dinner. We are planning on serving a light dinner for these three events. This year we have a three tier pricing structure that encourages early registration. PCA members can register a week or so earlier than non members. We have implemented some new rules and an annual vehicle inspection program. Hopefully this will enhance our enjoyment of our hobby and sport.

 

We have a great staff so far this year but can always use a few more volunteers. Most of the tasks are easily learned and do not involve a burdensome time commitment, but all are important. Give me a call if you would like to help out.
