Driver Education Information Links
Summit Point FATT—nothing more for me to say but to look at their web site and check out
some of the You Tube videos.
New Jersey Motorsports Park also has a performance driving program that might be closer to
you if you live north of Baltimore but I am really not familiar with it. Additionally, Porsche of
The Main Line is sponsoring an exclusive customer Porsche Track day here on 22 April for
their customers. Sounds like fun but it is very expensive. Contact the dealership for more info
and to register.
Zone 2 Driver Education—Sponsored by PCA Zone 2 (i.e. PCACHS in this region) at Virginia International
Raceway (VIR) on March 16-18. Registration is now open.
TrackDaze—A company called TrackDaze also provides high performance driving instruction
at multiple tracks in the area including Summit Point and Virginia International Raceway (i.e
they rent out the track for the day or weekend). Surprisingly they charge slightly less than the
FATT program and give you four 30-minute sessions. I have friends who have done this program
and they have been very positive about it. My only concern with it is that your car
better be in amazing condition to go full out for a 30 minute session and it starts very early in
the morning. Both are real concerns – my friends do say that cars break down during it and
you will probably want to stay in a local motel the night before if you plan to do it.
