So you got a taste of driving your everyday car fast in 2015 for cheap on real racetracks during a couple visits to SCCA Track Night in America Driven by Tire Rack. You liked it, learned a thing or two about performance driving, and you had fun with your trusty steed.
But then it happened … You started wondering about lap times. How fast were you going? Could you be faster? Where could you be quicker? Are you faster than that other driver in a similar car?
Ah, your competitive spirit bubbled up! Nothin’ wrong with that. Heck, we here at the Sports Car Club of America know those feelings very, VERY well. And while Track Night isn’t the appropriate venue for competition, we’ve got another, friendly program where you and your everyday car can dip a toe into competition for cheap.
The Tire Rack SCCA Starting Line School gives automotive enthusiasts a professional, all-inclusive entry into the world of performance driving. The full-day school introduces key concepts applicable to all forms of motorsports and allows you to develop skills while working with professional performance driving instructors certified by the Evolution Performance Driving School. If you are looking for motorsports competition or just a great way to enjoy the capabilities of your car, the Tire Rack SCCA Starting Line is your complete motorsports starter kit.
Open parking lots are where Tire Rack SCCA Starting Line School events are held, and orange traffic cones define the “track.” There is no wheel-to-wheel peril here, just you perfecting performance driving techniques. Plus, your Tire Rack SCCA Starting Line experience includes registration for an SCCA Regional autocross event the following day where your instructors will be on hand to get you started and guide you through the fun experience.
The Tire Rack SCCA Starting Line School is a lot of fun. But be warned, these events usually make only one visit to a region each year — and the program fills up QUICK! Check out the Tire Rack SCCA Starting Line School website to stay abreast of upcoming 2016 dates.
