 Have you always wanted to learn techniques that will help you push your Corvette to the limits, and learn the highest level of safe performance driving?
We have the opportunity for you! Now in our 5th year our HPD Event at ViR continues to expand in scope and activities. In addition to the annual 2-day HPDE with track time, rides and classroom for students, we continue with PrimeDrive which is a reduced 1-day version of an HPDE as well as the chance to ride with Andy Pilgrim and Shields Bergstrom and see how the pros do it. There are a number of new additions to the event including the skidpad, rides in a vintage race car and a special corral for a spectator celebrity choice car show. GM engineers, quality control and designers will be in attendance as in the past. We also will see the return of past vendors Zip Products, KNS Brakes, Michelin Tires and a larger Corvette Store. As always, spectator admission remains free.
There are a few spots left for those new to our High Performance Driving Events. Check out the information page here, and we hope to see you June 27-28 at the Virginia International Raceway! |
