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!". © 2003-2010 Hooked On Driving.

These programs give individuals the opportunity to drive their high performance or sporty cars on a race track with instruction and divided into groups based on driver experience. All HOD events are non-competitive, with no racing, timing, or training for racing. All a driver needs to participate in an HOD event is a helmet (rentals are available), and a road/track worthy car. At HOD, drivers are separated into run groups according to their experience level: A-Beginner, B-Intermediate, C-Advanced with point-by passing, and D-Advanced with open passing. Some HOD events only have A, B and C Groups. The A Group is for drivers with little or no track driving experience and includes essential classroom driving curriculum and coaches in all novice driver cars for their on-track sessions. B Group is for drivers with an intermediate skill level who have completed the HOD Group A program and have been signed off to drive Solo and advance to B. Drivers from other groups with validated experience may also drive in B Group. Both A and B groups use "Green cone zones" marking approved passing zones in certain straight sections of the track. C and D groups are for advanced level track drivers who will run at a faster pace, with passing allowed anywhere deemed safe by the both the driver and passer. In the C Group a point-by is required to allow a pass, and in D Group, a point-by is optional. Hooked on Driving programs focus on safety (free of competition, wheel-to-wheel racing or timed laps), fun (HOD events include a catered lunch to enable the drivers to get acquainted), and learning (new driving skills). HOD drivers often have communicated that they have become more confident in their ability to handle their car in emergency situations and that they have had "The time of their life!" © 2003 -2020 Hooked On Driving.
