Cascade Sports Car Club HPDE Track Day at Portland International Raceway
High Performance Driver's Education and Racecar Testing
As such, the tentative schedule is expected to change but has not been updated at this time.
All participants will be expected to bring their own PPE, including wearing a face mask at all times when outside of their car, and you must bring your own helmet that is rated Snell SA 2005 or newer. We will not be making our rental helmets available for this event.
1. HPDE Novice will be provided for this event using a lead-follow instruction format.
2. HPDE Intermediate is still available but only if you have participated in at least 2 prior CSCC HPDE track days at our Intermediate level or have sufficient track experience with another organization. You will be driving solo on track without an in-car instructor, but we are planning on having instructors available to observe and to provide feedback, coaching if needed to individual drivers.
3. HPDE Advanced, Test-and-Tune, and Open Wheel groups are still open with no changes.
NO SPECTATORS ARE ALLOWED AT THIS EVENT.
Our track days give you the opportunity to drive on a real racetrack. Whether your car is a daily driver or a fully prepared race car, whether you’re a first time novice student wanting to become a better driver or a seasoned race driver looking for some seat time to shake down your car before a race, we’ve got you covered.
Our ICSCC-approved Driver's Training program includes classroom sessions with professional instruction in the dynamics of car control and high performance driving. You’ll learn about contact patch, weight transfer, and the physics of a car in motion that keep you in control. In between these classroom sessions, you'll put that knowledge to use with our expert staff of in-car instructors. You’ll learn at your own pace and gradually work your way up to more challenging speeds.
Our HPDE Novice and Intermediate groups also double as a "Competition Driving School" for those seeking a competition license. Please register for the appropriate group based on your prior experience -- HPDE Novice if you have never been on track before -- and indicate that you are seeking a competition license.
For those interested in simply honing their driving skills our Advanced HPDE group is a club day environment where the goal is to enjoy a day at the race track driving fast and safe with friends and other enthusiasts who share your same passion. Prior track experience is mandatory.
We also offer sessions for licensed racers:
- Test-and-Tune (TnT) - Full day or half day run groups for licensed racers to test and shake down their cars.
- Open Wheel - For open-wheel/Sports Racers to get on-track before the race weekend starts. This is a 15-20 minute session at the end of the driver training day.
