On this episode of Break/Fix we are honored to have Mark Hicks the Chief Operating Officer and Director of CHIN Track Days with us on the show. In our continuing effort to spread Motorsports enthusiasm, we want to explore the CHIN origin story, a history that goes back 21 years in the making. Though many GTM members have been fortunate to participate (and coach) in several CHIN events over the last 5 years, including places like: PittRace, Mid-Ohio, Barber, Road Atlanta, Motorsports Ranch, Indianapolis and more – many might not know what CHIN is all about… but we hope to remedy that in short order. 

In our discussion with Mark, we cover topics like: 


  • Who/When/Where is CHIN?

  • How do you learn more, and register for CHIN events?

  • What is the CHIN HPDE program like? What expectations should a new student have coming into the classroom for the first time? How many students on track? What’s the student:instructor ratio? 

  • Coaching with CHIN, and how to become a coach.
  • Track-Day Prep and unique policies of a CHIN Track Event

  • Does CHIN recommend that a student get Track Insurance before coming to an event?

  • and more!
