The Run Groups

VIA (Novice)

“Via” or “street” is the run-group dedicated to novices, and members interested in participating in a very controlled environment.  This run-group is a helmet free introductory group.  The format will be a paced; one designated passing zone session, with instructors.  The intent is to bolster confidence, learn the track, and enjoy the experience.

Via will run two sessions in the morning, ands one in the afternoon, as an introduction to the track.  One classroom session will be scheduled at the start of the day, and another before the second run.  There will be two passing Zones for this Event.

This group is structured as an introduction to running on the track.  Simple concepts and description of the track will be presented, in classroom format, before the cars are released. 

The exercise area will be a mandatory part of the afternoon activities.  We would like all VIA participants to experience the handling of their cars in a controlled environment with professional supervision.  Check it out, and you will be happy you did.  You will benefit from feeling the car on the slalom course and at maximum braking.

The charge for members attending Via will be $325.  This group is invited to participate in the activities, in the family touring,  and browse the Vendor Zone.  This should round out the day, leaving plenty of time to socialize and interact with others attending other track programs.

SCUOLA (Intermediate/ Advanced)

“Scuola” or “School” is the run-group dedicated to members interested in participating in our regular performance driving school format.  This is open to intermediate to early advanced drivers.  This is a “helmet only” group with instructors, and three designated passing zones. 

Scuola will run two 20 minute sessions in the morning and two 30 minute sessions in the afternoon.  There will be three passing zones for this Event. 

Two mandatory classroom sessions will be scheduled during the first half of the day.  Exercises are optional but recommended. Take advantage of the excellent supervision, and well thought out exercises, on the skid pad.

The charge for members attending Scuola will be $380.  This group is invited to participate in the activities, in the family touring,  and browse the Vendor Zone.

We welcome members who normally would be attending a full driving school.  Instructors will be required to ensure participants are encouraged during the event, introduced to the new run-group structure and the Piloti program, and surveyed for feedback.  Driver can be signed off in this group.

PILOTI (Advanced Lapping)

“Piloti” or “performance driver” is the run-group dedicated to members interested in participating in longer, instructor-free, driving sessions.  This group is selected on the basis of high degree of skill and safety on the track.  There are a set of parameters which must be met, in order to qualify attending this group.  This group has achieved a high skill level based on an instruction profile developed for Scuola participants 

I encourage long-time track participants, who have been signed off, to apply for this group. New members must earn an invitation by instructor recommendation, and evaluation on the track.  Instructor evaluation sheets and defined performance levels will define the members of this group. Cars in this group will be monitored on the track by circulating instructor car(s), to ensure quality driving.  Periodic use of the optional instructor time is recommended to maintain and sharpen the driving skill set.  

This is a helmet, driving suit, and fire extinguisher, group.   Piloti will run two 25/30 minute sessions in the morning and three 25/30 minute sessions in the afternoon. 

Piloti Group has a pass anywhere policy except between corners 5a-5b,  between corners 8-10, and at the apex of the corners. Passing is only by "point by" invitations only.

The charge for members attending Piloti will be $400.  This will be track intensive, and we hope to attract members who have been going elsewhere for their track experiences.
