Prospective Members Workshop

Sunday March 28, at 1:00 pm
Chicago Indoor Racing, Addison (map)
New members and anyone else interested in learning about how to get involved in motorsports activities is invited to attend this workshop. The event is free, and will feature presentations on our programs, including Solo and Club Racing.
This is a great way to find out how you can get involved, and to get answers to any questions you might have.

Would you like to get involved in racing but just don't know where to start

Join us Saturday, April 24 and take our Starting Line Tour. The Starting Line Tour is our way of introducing car enthusiasts to the Chicago Region, Sports Car Club of America and how the hundreds of club volunteers staff various race tracks in support of club racing and professional racing. This is the road to "the best seat in the house". You will be provided with an overview of a variety of volunteer areas, which we refer to as "specialties". If you are interested in learning more about any specialty area, we will arrange for you to return to that specialty area for a one on one experience. There is a party at the end of the race day on Saturday and you are invited to attend (no cost). Click here for your Starting Line Registration Form

Performance Driving Experience

All of us have done the burn-out at a red light, or taken that curve at more than the “suggested speed,” imagining ourselves as racers while never leaving our street cars. With Performance Driving Experience (PDX) events, you don’t have to dream anymore!

So You Think You Want To Be A Racer

Run at different track locations throughout the country, the PDX provides an instructional environment for drivers who simply want to improve their driving skills and increase their enjoyment of driving their street vehicle. True to the “run what ya brung” adage, all it takes to be a part is your street car, a valid license and a helmet.

You Will Be A Better Driver

PDX events are about you, the driver. Plenty of seat time, plenty of individual instruction and a ton of driving exercises make up a PDX; all of which is designed to educate you and make you more confident behind the wheel, both on the track and on the street.

Participants receive a solid blend of driving instruction, ranging from the classroom to in-car training to “follow me” drills. A wide range of topics are discussed and shown at a PDX, including: following a “racing line”, passing zones, speed limits and other general driving techniques. Of course, each driver receives feedback from his or her instructor at the end of each lesson.

PDX events are non-competition based. Why? Because the focus is on you. Three other levels of the Time Trials program provide competition, but it’s important that the skills taught at a PDX are learned beforehand so you as a driver can enjoy the latter levels of the program the way they were intended.
