The sound of engines echoing off the mountains and a full paddock of Porsches can only mean one thing: HPDE season is officially underway.

We kicked off the new HPDE season with another fantastic event this past month. We had a terrific turnout with approximately 77 cars, an incredible group of instructors, and an army of dedicated volunteers helping everything run smoothly.

It’s clear that our program continues to grow little by little, and we’re excited to be back to four events this year.

Our next HPDE is scheduled for May 17–18, and registration is already open. Be sure to sign up early so you don’t miss out.

And here’s a little teaser: we may get the chance to run the Charleston Peak track in reverse. That would turn the circuit into a completely different driving experience. Imagine tackling our beloved Corkscrew (currently Turns 9, 10, and 11) from the opposite direction. Whoa buddy… that should be a thrill!

This past event welcomed many of our familiar faces along with several new drivers joining the fun. One thing worth highlighting is the consistently positive feedback we receive from participants. It’s a testament to how well the team continues to organize and run these events.

I would also be remiss if I didn’t give a special shout-out to Todd Trimble and his team. They went above and beyond helping drivers with repairs and even loaning vehicles so drivers with mechanical issues could run out and track down parts if needed. On top of that, Todd hosted a pizza party after Saturday’s sessions.

Thank you, Todd. We truly appreciate you and your team!

Best of all, the weekend wrapped up without any major incidents. And I’m happy to report that yours truly didn’t drop a wheel off the track even once this time. Woohoo!

Don’t wait until the last minute for the May HPDE.
Register now and we’ll see you at the track!
