HOD Announces Premium Discount Program Through Lockton Motorsports HPDE Insurance

November 30, 2012 · No Comments

November 26, 2012: Lockton Motorsports, the industry leading HPDE physical damage insurance provider, has conducted a review of on-track activity among their over 150 covered HPDE groups. The result of this study showed that Hooked On Driving’s safety record was markedly better than the industry average, and thus has earned a discount on Lockton Motorsports premiums paid for HOD events.  HOD is the only commercial enterprise in the HPDE industry that has qualified for this discount program.  Beginning immediately, and carrying through the 2013 calendar year, a 10% discount will be applied to any premiums for customers driving in HOD events nationally.  HOD plans over 100 high performance driving events across the U.S. in 2013, so this discount will provide substantial savings to a large number of drivers who utilize the Lockton HPDE Insurance Program. What’s more, the HOD customer will now have the 10% discount reflected automatically when he purchases the policy – no special codes to remember. The discount is now in place for events in the remainder of 2012 and the 2013 season.  HOD is very, very proud that our safety goals have been substantially achieved, and we thank Lockton Motorsports for recognizing this with this outstanding customer benefit. To take advantage of this program, visit the Lockton HPDE Insurance Program at http://hpdeinsuranceprogram.com.

High Performance Professional Driving Schools


Hooked On Driving is a leading provider of performance driving programs, commonly known as an high performance driving experience (HPDE), or high performance driving school (HPDS). These programs are run on Track Days, at regional tracks such as Thunderhill Raceway, Laguna Seca, Reno-Fernley, Pocono, Autobahn Country club, and many others. See below for a complete list of Track day venues. We give drivers of high performance cars and sports cars the opportunity to drive their cars on a race track. During the first sessions a coach will ride in the passenger seat, and teach the driver high performance driving techniques. All new drivers need to participate is a helmet (available rentals), and an inspection to be sure their car is roadworthy. Beginners are given a thorough briefing and are introduced to their coach before they drive their car on the track. The initial "A Group" for beginning HPDE drivers, teaches smoothness, awareness, and driving a proper, safe and efficient line on track. A priority is also placed on learning basic car control skills such as late bssraking, proper shifting and understanding the concept of the apex of a turn. While A group has significant passing restrictions to maintain a conservative pace, the B - Intermediate, C - Advanced, and D - Race-prepped groups have progressively more flexible passing rules and advanced level coaching. There is NEVER any competition — wheel to wheel or timed laps — in our programs. Hooked on Driving HPDE Programs are safe experiences for all, an enjoyable time for every driver — and to assure that our drivers come away with much more confidence in handling their car in an emergency situation. Hooked On Driving customers frequently are heard saying that they've had, "The time of their lives!".
