Making The Event a Success

 

10/10ths Motorsports has developed a truly unique venue in the HPDE world which gives drivers the ability to progress from the Novice ranks up to the Advanced ranks and beyond.  Various groups are now trying to copy what we have done due to it's overwhelming success.

 

Drivers of ALL SKILL LEVELS can find a run group at 10/10ths events.   We are not a racing organization but we do believe in teaching all group levels the needed skills to become proficient in that group and advance upward if they wish.  We want to you to end up being skilled, safe and to have a great deal of fun.

There really is ONLY ONE WAY to learn this sport and all the various aspects of it, and that is to have the ability to practice and learn them ON TRACK.  We give drivers the freedom to experience various driving techniques on track, in a safe, controlled, non-competetive and fun venue.  It's what sets us apart.

  • No Membership fees
  • No Student Instructor fees
  • 2.5 - 3.0 hours track time available each day
  • Drinks provided for all drivers and guests, all day
  • All makes and model cars welcome ( with the exception being open wheel cars)
  • Expert Tech sessions and 10/10ths sponsor participation

 

 

NOVICE GROUP

Our Novice drivers are like most, full of anticipation and ready to learn, but lacking the basic skills that must be mastered to eventually reach a level of smooth, fast and advanced driving.  10/10ths provides our Novice Drivers with the following:

  • On track instructors
  • Classroom sessions
  • Passing in straights with a point bye
  • Documented instructor feedback
  • The Fun and Excitement of watching our Intermediate and Advanced drivers on track.

NOTE:  Novice Drivers are very strongly encouraged to run on street tires.  You simply have too much to learn prior to moving up to "slick" type race tires.  Car (handling / control / feel) skills are much more important to learn as a solid foundation first.

 

INTERMEDIATE GROUP

Our Intermediate drivers will have had several track days under their belt and are ready to begin learning some skill sets that will take them to the next level.  10/10ths firmly believes this can be done in a very safe and controlled venue by giving these drivers the freedom to experience and practice these skills on track.  You can only learn so much in the classroom or by talking to fellow drivers in the paddock.  The only way to learn these skills is on the track, behind the wheel.

This session allows for passing anywhere on track with a mandatory point bye but drivers do not have to give a point bye or take a pass if they are not comforatable.  This allows for skill practice for those that are comfortable while still allowing others to gain more track experience prior to advancing into corner passing.

Having a powerful / fast car does not make you a fast driver.  You must be very comfortable in passing situations and have competency in the basic driving skills.  You must know how to handle any flag situation and act accordingly.

 

We provide the Intermediate Drivers with the following:

  • Ability to attend any classroom session held during the day
  • Increased on track passing freedoms
    • Passing anywhere on track with a mandatory point bye
      • Give point by only if comfortable
      • Take the pass only if comfortable
    • High percentage passes encouraged
    • Ability to learn "off line" driving
    • Forces better "situational awareness"
  • Advanced braking techniques discussed and encouraged according to driver confort level
    • Threshold braking etc.
    • Trail braking
  • IF AVAILABLE
    • Expert in car coaching from experienced drivers
      • According to availabiltiy as Novice drivers are assigned instructors first. 

 

ADVANCED GROUP

Our Advanced drivers will have had many track days under their belt and are accomplished high performance drivers, comfortable with high speeds, passing in corners, driving off line and handling other cars on the track.  10/10ths firmly believes this can be done in a very safe and controlled venue by giving these drivers the freedom to experience and practice these skills on track.  You can only learn so much in the classroom or by talking to fellow drivers in the paddock.  The only way to learn these skills is on the track, behind the wheel.

The Advanced Group IS NOT RACING.  We do not expect any driver to take a pass at any time that puts the other driver in a situation where they have to adjust and/or not have room to continue on their driving line.  SPORTSMANSHIP is what the Advance Group is all about.

Drivers in this group must  have successfully driven in our Advanced Group previously and/or be checked off by a 10/10ths instructor.   This is to ensure the needed level of compentency for all our Advanced Group Drivers.  Instructors also drive in the Advanced Group sessions.

Drivers with race experience and/or a racing liscense can also sign up for our Advanced Group.

We provide the Advanced Drivers with the following:

  • Ability to attend any classroom session held during the day
  • Increased on track passing freedoms
    • Passing anywhere on track with NO point bye required but many drivers still give a point.
      • Passing in the corners
      • Off line driving
    • High percentage passes encouraged
    • Ability to learn "off line" driving
    • Forces better "situational awareness"
