About this event


 

2019 WHRRI/SCCA Competition Driver’s School

Thank you for your interest in the Waterford Hills Road Racing Inc. (WHRRI) Competition Driving School, the only SCCA Accredited School in the Great Lakes Division. This school has produced dozens of National Champions. The next one could be you!

The Competition Driving School is for individuals wishing to compete in “wheel-to-wheel” racing events sanctioned by WHRRI, the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), and other sanctioning organizations accepting the WHRRI driving school permit.

The school consists of one day of Classroom instruction and two days of On-Track instruction.

This year we will also be offering an open track day to test your car and get some of the butterflies out before your on track sessions. Students successfully completing the training will be presented with a Novice Competition Permit.

Below you will find the schedule, requirements and registration information needed to register and participate in this nationally renowned Competition Driving School.

We hope to see you at the track, ready to take your first step or return into the world of wheel-to-wheel racing!

Sincerely,
Alejandro “Alex” Della Torre
