![]() This is all for participant safety and maximum enjoyment, thanks for understanding. And we only offer Sunday-only entries by very specific criteria (to not make the run groups worse in any way for the vast majority who are participating both days), please inquire. You will also need to register for both days if it is your first weekend in a higher run group, if you need a check ride for whatever reason, or plan to move to a higher run group – so you can be evaluated properly. If you are new to NASA, nationally or regionally, you must run both days for evaluation – regardless of experience or skill level, one day entries will not be accepted if you have not run with us before. Otherwise, Saturday-only entries are available in limited quantities per event and only to known safe & skilled participants in HPDE2 and above. Q: Do you offer 1-day entries?Ī: Our events are 2 days by design because that’s what the vast majority of participants want (more than 96% of our membership registers for both days when given the choice.) Everyone in HPDE1 must sign up for both days to make sure the basics are fully taught and extensively practiced. Please see this thread on our forum for currently available specials and discounts. Q: Do you offer specials or discounts?Ī: Definitely yes, depending on time of year. Please contact us before your first HPDE for specific clearance to run a particular topless car. Generally not allowed without a rollbar: Miatas (sorry!), Corvette convertibles, or Mustang convertibles. Often allowed in HPDE with stock rollover protection: Honda S2000s, most BMW convertibles, and most Porsche convertibles. Otherwise you will need additional safety equipment, usually including at least a 4 point aftermarket full width rollbar. If you are a beginner or novice driver we will pair you with an in-car instructor for the weekend too! Q: Can I put my convertible on track at speed?Ī: Yes, in HPDE, as long as it is on our approved list and meets some other conditions. No performance parts or modifications are required, but upgraded brakes and tires are recommended. Q: Can I put my stock daily driver on track at speed?Ī: Yes, in HPDE, as long as it passes tech! From Hyundais to Ferraris, almost all cars are welcome. Please click here for much more HPDE information. Passing is limited and instructors are provided free of charge for all beginner drivers. Q: What is this HPDE thing I keep hearing about?Ī: HPDE is literally our high performance driving school on a road course – for street licensed drivers in street cars. Q: What makes your group and your events bigger and better?Ī: Many things make us bigger and better! Please visit our “ Why Choose NASA” and “ Track Time” pages for much more on the subject. We occasionally also have shared events at Road Atlanta and Roebling Road or other nearby tracks with the NASA – Southeast Region. Q: Which Florida tracks do you use?Ī: We use the biggest and best tracks! Mostly Sebring (and always the 3.7 mile “12 hour” course there), Homestead-Miami (club course or pro configuration with NASCAR T3/T4) and PBIR (2.2 mile track.) Our first Daytona took place in fall 2014 and we look forward to being back in October 2020. In fall 2011 a longtime mid-atlantic and national NASA official named Jon Felton became our director, then in fall 2015 a longtime NASA racer named Jim VanderVliet took over. NASA offers many different programs that will allow you to enjoy motorsports on a number of different levels, including our High Performance Driving Events (HPDE), Rally Sport, Time Trial, Car Control Clinics, NASA-X (Autocross), and Competition Racing programs (sprint and endurance format.) Learn more at Q: What is the history of NASA’s Florida region specifically?Ī: The Florida Region of NASA has put on events since the early-mid 2000’s with founders Steve and Barbara Nix. ![]() NASA has created programs that allow owners of both racecars and high-performance street-driven vehicles to enjoy the full performance capabilities of their cars in a safe and controlled environment. “We’re the race guys, not the space guys!” NASA was founded in California in 1991 to deliver high quality motorsports events to enthusiasts at major racing venues throughout the nation.
