The Sports Car Driving Association, LLC is pleased to announce that we will be returning to Lime Rock Park for multiple events throughout our 2010 track driving season! This 1.53 facility is a roller coaster ride that deserves its nickname as the Road Racing Center of the East. From the challenging uphill, to the fast 90 degree West Bend turn, to the exhilarating downhill turn - this track has it all. These events sell out quickly, and registration is handled on a first come, first served basis. Mark your calendar now for this exciting SCDA Lime Rock track day! To clarify, the event on April 12 is our "usual" SCDA event; full day in format. Participants can expect four on track drive sessions, one on one In Car Instruction if needed, and two Classroom Sessions. In an effort to provide maximum levels of safety, quality, and fun at our events, the SCDA will provide trained and certified SCCA flaggers at the corner stations.  This ensures that our drivers can focus on one thing- improving their driving skills. This event is geared towards all skill level drivers, from Novice to Advanced. We would like to remind you that Spec Miatas are available for rent at this event. Please note that cars will need to be muffled to 89dB at all Lime Rock Park events. Register Here!

The Sports Car Driving Association, LLC is pleased to announce that we will be hosting three events at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) in 2010! NHMS is located in Loudon, New Hampshire, about an hour north of Boston. This unique facility is a 1.6 mile road course that utilizes both permanent road course, as well as Nextel Cup Oval sections. Furthermore, there are some dramatic elevation changes that keep drivers of all ability levels on their toes. The facilities at NHMS are first rate, and the track surface is smooth as glass.

The SCDA will provide four on track drive sessions per day, one on one In Car Instruction and Classroom Instruction is also included as part of the SCDA program! In an effort to provide maximum levels of safety, quality, and fun at our events, the SCDA will provide trained and certified SCCA flaggers at the corner stations.  This ensures that our drivers can focus on one thing- improving their driving skills.

The Sports Car Driving Association, LLC is excited about our upcoming return to Watkins Glen International. This high performance driving event is being held on Monday April 26 and Tuesday April 27. For 2010 we are pleased to let our customers know that more track time will now be provided Five x 30 Minute Session Each Day!  To respond to our customers requests, this event will utilize the 3.4 mile Watkins Glen "LONG COURSE" on April 26.  On April 27, we will change the track configuration, and drivers will have the ability to hone their skills on the ultra fast 2.45 Watkins Glen "SHORT COURSE". It should be noted that "The Glen" short course is the same exact layout that Nextel Cup utilizes, and the same track that Davy Jones was able to post a lap that averaged 150.334 MPH in 1992!   Watkins Glen, located at the southern tip of Lake Seneca in Watkins Glen, New York is one of the premier permanent road courses in North America. This first class 3.4 mile facility hosted the United States Grand Prix for many years, and now the track is one of two road courses that Nascar Nextel Cup races on. This is the same track that drivers from Jeff Gordon to Jackie Stewart have driven on! Clark, Hill, Stewart, Fittipaldi, Andretti are just a handful of motorsports icons that have contributed to the history of Watkins Glen. In an effort to provide maximum levels of safety, quality, and fun at our events, the SCDA will provide trained and certified SCCA flaggers at the corner stations.  This ensures that our drivers can focus on one thing- improving their driving skills. Race winning SCDA Spec Miatas are available for "The Glen" event.  Please note that garages are offered on a first come, first served basis. Garage bay stickers will be for sale on the morning of the event. Each participant can expect five driving sessions each day; one on one in car Instruction (if needed) and Classroom Instruction as well.

Professional Flaggers will be working this event, and participants can expect four on track drive sessions, one on one Instruction if needed and two Classroom Sessions. Monticello Motor Club is located in Monticello, New York. The facility opened in the summer of 2008, and the feedback from those that have already driven at this circuit has been superb. In an effort to provide maximum levels of safety, quality, and fun at our events, the SCDA will provide trained and certified SCCA flaggers at the corner stations.  This ensures that our drivers can focus on one thing- improving their driving skills. A limited number of race winning Spec Miata rental cars are available for this event.

SCDA Customers now Eligible for the Lockton Affinity HPDE Insurance Program!

SCDA Members Eligible for the High Performance Driver Education (HPDE) Insurance Program!

UPDATE : Lockton Affinity now offering HPDE track insurance for events at Lime Rock Park!

 

At the SCDA we are not experts nor involved in the insurance industry. Over the years, the question about automobiles being covered in the unlikely event that damage is incurred to a customer's car during a track event has come up several times. Our experience has shown that coverage varies greatly amongst the many different insurance companies. We have looked into the options pertaining to track insurance for our customers and we are pleased that there is a reputable outfit that provides this unique and specialized service. As a general reminder to all our customers :  All SCDA events are strictly non - competitive, non - timed high performance drivers educational events. The SCDA is not a racing school. 

The HPDE Insurance Program was formed in 2008 to provide an affordable solution to track enthusiasts.  This program is only available to organizations that meet the high level of structure and safety required by the program.  The Sports Car Driving Association, LLC is pleased to let our customers know that we have been approved for this program. In 2008, many SCDA participants signed up for this affordable protection.

The policy provided is purchased on a single-event basis via the HPDE Insurance Program website.  The policy covers physical damage to vehicles both on and off the track while at approved events.  When purchasing this coverage, the driver selects an agreed amount for their base vehicle.  The driver also has the ability to add to the base value of the vehicle by scheduling modifications within the online application.  To receive a quick premium indication, enter your vehicle’s total value to get an idea of the cost of protection for your next SCDA event: http://hpdeins.locktonaffinity.com/Default.aspx?cID=38

The policy is underwritten by Mt Hawley Insurance Company (rated A by AM Best).  The HPDE Insurance Program is administered by Lockton Affinity, part of Lockton Companies, the largest privately-held insurance brokerage firm in the world. Please feel free to mention SCDA if you decide to contact Lockton. Their toll free number is 866-582-4957. Please note that the SCDA is in no way connected to this insurance program nor do we accept any liability for any interactions between the insurance company and our drivers.
