The Milwaukee Region SCCA Track Day (PDX) series is a great way to enjoy performance driving in your street car on real racing tracks in a controlled environment. The 2015 season includes seven (7) events held at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in Rockton, IL, the road course at the Historic Milwaukee Mile, and the world famous Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. With close personal driving instruction, and restricted passing conditions, the Milwaukee Region SCCA Track Day series is a great way to legally test the limits of your car without worrying about contact with other vehicles on the track…
<h3>What should I expect at a Track Day event?</h3>
First you would make sure that you and your car qualify for a Track Day (PDX) event. You must be at least 18 years of age with a valid driver license. Convertibles, unless they are equipped with a hard top or an approved roll bar/hoop, are not allowed. Vehicles with other removable tops (t-tops, targa tops, etc.) must meet appropriate safety regulations. Be sure to check this link to <a href=”http://scca.cdn.racersites.com/prod/assets/2012%20TTR%20-%20All%20Levels_v3.pdf”>Level 1 PDX Rules</a>. Next, register by continuing on through the MotorsportReg process.
Once you arrive at the track, you will check in, park, unload your vehicle, and prepare it for the track. Next you will need to get your car inspected, and then report to the classroom for a drivers briefing. Once that briefing is over, usually no more than 30 minutes time, the rest of the event should be spent behind the wheel of your car, or riding along with your instructor to gain a better understanding of the track, the proper line, and driving tips. These tips are provided by qualified instructors, most of whom have years of actual racing experience.
Be safe and have fun!!
