We here at GTM are always amazed to discover that most people have no idea that track days exist. Sports car owners and driving enthusiasts are missing out on the best part… DRIVING! … Driving their cars fast in a safe and controlled environment! Well we aren’t alone, and the folks over at HPDEjunkie.com decided something should be done to promote High Performance Driving Events. So, they created a website with the goal of turning HPDE into a house-hold name, and Dave Peters, director of HPDEjunkie, is here to tell us all about it.
In our discussion with Dave, we cover topics like:
-
Who/What/Where/When? – The HPDEjunkie Origin Story
-
How to find your first track event
-
National/International Events
-
Things I wish I knew & First-timer “Mods”
-
Best track to start out on
- CHECK OUT: HPDEjunkie.com – FOR A COMPREHENSIVE HPDE SCHEDULE AS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE and more!
- SHOUTOUTS TO: ApexPerformance, Jim Tramatano “No Money Motorsports“, GLOCK Brakes, Lockton Motorsports and TrackLaps
