Have You Ever Considered Racing?
David LightfootFor the HPDE driver there often comes a point where they ask – “why don’t I try racing?” We think it’s useful for the HPDE community to ask what their role is in answering that question for their drivers and likewise it’s useful for the Racing community to ask how they can promote HPDE as the next step for car enthusiasts who want to get out on track.
