Congrats to Henry Gilbert and Shane Lewis in their maiden voyage for the 2011 season in the Rolex Grand Am race series!  With a solid 10th position in class, Henry was very pleased with the showing…as any finish in a nearly 3 hour race is a good finish!  After speaking with Henry this morning, I discovered that they had not fired the new motor, OR driven the car until the first practice session of the weekend.  So, with no break-in period, or set up testing time, simply running the race successfully and without incident is a win!!  Here is a picture of the SCDE, Riley/Chevrolet Daytona Prototype, carrying the HOD banner proudly!! 

Good going guys!

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!".
