SAVE THE DATE: THSCC December HPDE @ CMP info on Dec 7, 2024 (905569) | MotorsportReg.com

2024 THSCC "December HPDE" at Carolina Motorsports Park (HPDE)

ONLINE REGISTRATION will open soon. Tarheel Sports Car Club (THSCC) plans to host an HPDE to close the season at CMP! The weather should be nice and mild! We will offer 4 run groups at one of the best prices you will see for CMP all season! This event will offer classroom and in-car instruction for those needing it as well! 

Look for registration to open in early May. Meanwhile, we wanted to make you aware so you can start planning that one last track event of the year with us!

Run groups will be organized as follows -

• Beginner (Green):  Green group students typically have 3 or fewer instructed weekend HPDE events.  Students will focus on track etiquette/safety, learning the basic line, proper inputs, and awareness of basic vehicle dynamics. 
• Intermediate (Yellow):  Yellow group students typically have completed between 3 and 10 instructed weekend HPDE events.  Students will continue to explore topics of vehicle dynamics like weight transfer and slip angle to improve their car control skills.  Instruction will be in-car or lead-follow depending on student and instructor comfort levels and agreement between the two.
• Advanced (Blue):  Blue group students typically have done 10 or more instructed weekend HPDE events.  Students will continue to work on improving at-speed recognition of off line situations and how to adjust inputs while maintaining car control to correct them.  Instruction will be in-car or lead-follow depending on student and instructor comfort levels and agreement between the two.
  Note: We allow Advanced Solo students in our Blue group for drivers that prefer the pace of our advanced group or may not be as comfortable with the unlimited passing zones (with a point) and pace of the Red group.  Please email the registrar.
• Advanced Solo (Red):  Our Red group is reserved for students that have prior approval to run in this group based on demonstrated on track proficiency of car control skills and traffic management in all situations.  This run group allows passing anywhere with a point.  If you have not been approved to run in our Red (solo) group at a previous THSCC event, a check ride and references (or adequate Driving Evals instructor reviews for previous THSCC students) are required.  If you have never run with THSCC before and are signing up for our Red group, you must e-mail the registrar at trackadmin@thscc.com with references after you register.  References should generally be current THSCC instructors and will be checked before you are confirmed to run in the Red group.
