About this event
The Mohawk Hudson Region invites you to our First SCCA PDX ( performance driving experience) event, and the First SCCA event on the Monticello Full Course track. ( with a lot of help from Patroon BMWCCA)
The Event is Full --WITH a Waitlist. No Walk-on registration available.
This is not a racing school but rather a high performance driving school on a race circuit under close supervision by instructors. You will be taught the fine art of car control and fundamentals of vehicle dynamics. You will be able to learn the capabilities of your car and improve your driving skills at speeds that are not permitted on public roads. All drivers will be instructed on safety regulations, and general etiquette on the track. In addition to the “Pre-Event Safety Inspection” which the driver is required to have performed, an “On-Site Safety Inspection” will be performed prior to the event. A confirmation notice that explains the Safety Inspection requirements will be sent to you approximately 3 – 4 weeks before the event and after registration and payment are received and accepted.
