Friday Advanced Lapping & Instructor Clinic

The lapping sessions are open to advanced and instructor level drivers (intermediate drivers may be allowed to enter with experience on this track, and with approval from a previous instructor.)  Friday's lapping schedule will be open lapping sessions each hour with "rest" checkers and breaks for the instructor clinic groups if needed (depening on attendance)... so you'll have more lapping fun than you can shake a stick at.  

Instructor Clinic

In an effort to maintain the highest possible standards for our events, and to provide the best in-car instruction out there, we have a few requirements of our instructor candidates.  This years Instructor clinic will be open to interested candidates at the advanced driving level with a minimum of 25 HPDE events.  It is also mandatory for any instructor with a national club that has 10 instructing events or less of experience, or has not instructed in the last 2 years.  TZC/THSCC will also be sending out invites for (and giving priority to) advanced drivers who have shown interest in instructing and proficiency in skill throughout the TZC/THSCC HPDE system.  All new instructor applicants must fill out and return our new instructor application form to Mark Vitacco.

Instructor Candidates – You will attend the classroom sessions AND be evaluated in-car by one of our instructor mentors.  Attendees are expected to provide their own in-car communicator (since you'll need one to instruct anyway.)  Candidates MUST have a passenger seat with equal safety.

Instructor Mentors – This is reserved for current instructors needing our mandatory refresher (once every two years) or for current instructors who simply want to give back to the program and help mentor and evaluate the Level II attendees. Mentors MUST have a passenger seat with equal safety.
