All NASA regions are temporarily closed through the end of April due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of everyone who visits NASA facilities is our top priority. We encourage you to register today for a future HPDE event. Should the closure extend we will contact you to reschedule.
COVID-19 Update
High Performance Driving Events
We thank you for your patience as tracks and NASA Regions begin to re-open for High Performance Driving Events. Some Regions may hold events before others, as local government regulations and other policies shift. We encourage you to reserve your spot for a future HPDE track day from the drop down menu below. If your event cancels for any reason, we will contact you directly to reschedule.
Welcome GR Supra owner! Take advantage of your new NASA membership and sign up for your complimentary High Performance Driving Event (HPDE) today*. Even better, make a weekend of it and sign up for your 2nd HPDE at 50% discount. Fill out the form below and submit your request.
*For qualified drivers over 18 years of age, with a valid driver’s license. NASA Membership is non-transferable and expires 1 year after purchase of your MY20 GR Supra. The High Performance Driving Event is included as a membership benefit and must be redeemed within 1 year from the time of purchase of your MY20 GR Supra. NASA membership and complimentary HPDE are not redeemable for cash or any other offer. Does not include travel to and from event or other costs. Your vehicle will be required to pass a NASA technical inspection prior to driving in HPDE.
REGISTER
Select your top three track and date preferences for your complimentary HPDE day below. If you plan to add a second HPDE day, at 50% off, select BOTH dates.
The cancellation policy for any event you register for through this program is as follows: 1 week or more prior to the event provides a full credit toward a future NASA HPDE event. Any cancellation within a week of the event forfeits your HPDE entry. Sorry, but we are not able to offer exceptions to this policy regardless of your special circumstances. Please understand this before you register, and think of your entry like a ticket to a concert or sporting event… not like an item you can return to a retail store.
National Auto Sport Association. “We’re the race guys, not the space guys!” NASA was founded in California in 1991 to deliver high quality motorsports events to enthusiasts at major racing venues throughout the nation. NASA has created programs that allow owners of both racecars and high-performance street-driven vehicles to enjoy the full performance capabilities of their cars in a controlled environment. NASA offers many different programs that will allow you to enjoy motorsports on a number of different levels, including our High Performance Driving Events (HPDE), Rally Sport, Time Trial, Car Control Clinics, NASA-X (Autocross), and Competition Racing programs (sprint and endurance format.) Learn more at drivenasa.com.
The HPDE Program is literally our high performance driving school on a road course – for street licensed drivers in street cars. Passing is limited and instructors are provided free of charge for all beginner drivers. https://www.nasaproracing.com/hpde/.
Yes, in the HPDE Program, as long as it passes the techical inspection! Most vehicles do. If you’re reading this, you’re most likely planning to attend your first NASA event with your 2020 Toyota GR Supra. No performance parts or modifications are required. If you are a beginner or novice driver we will pair you with an in-car instructor for the weekend.
As soon as you receive your membership number you can sign up for your HPDE on this website. We suggest you reserve your spot at least 30 days in advance, as space is limited.
If you’ve never driven on a racetrack, you should register for HPDE Level 1. If you are a certified professional driver you can register for any HPDE. If you are still not sure or have other questions, please call us at 844-GR SUPRA.
Absolutely, yes we recognize outside experience as long as it is equivalent (especially in terms of passing rules and car counts.) If you already have previous track experience, we will work with you to get you placed into the right group. If you do not gain clearance before your first event you will be placed in HPDE Level 1.
If you register for HPDE-1, there will be a certified driving instructor in the car with you at all times. Depending on your driving experience and qualifications, you may be not required to have an instructor with you at all times.
To take advantage of the 50% discount for your second HPDE, you must register for it at the same time you register for your complimentary HPDE. Both HPDEs must be attended on the same weekend.
You can spend some time reading through the NASA rules related to the HPDE program which can be found here.(Club Codes & Regulations) Section 3-8 are what you should familiarize yourself with. As the event approaches, you will also receive a pre-event email with much more information specific to the event you registered for.
Drivers in all our run groups need to put big unique numbers on both sides of the car for ease of identification from all manned flag stations on the circuit as well as the control tower. Communication is nearly constant during an event day about which car is first in the group to take the green flag, which is last to take the checkered flag, which just had a spin or 4-off, which is developing a mechanical problem, and so forth – but all of that is based on car number and to a lesser extent color and type (because some may not know exactly what an “Turbulence Gray GR Supra” is, but everyone can usually recognize “Gray Toyota #55.”)
Numbers need to be at least 8-10″ tall and of a contrasting color on bodywork not glass for visibility reasons, so they can be seen from up to several hundred feet from the track surface. They also need to be unique inside of each run group (i.e. we can’t have two cars both #7 in HPDE1/2, but a #7 in HPDE2 and a #7 in the race group is fine – because they’re never on track simultaneously) for identification purposes, so we know who’s driving each car. Blue painters tape or masking tape is preferred because it doesn’t leave residue, unlike duct tape. Or even better, get some custom numbers from the many online vinyl suppliers.
We strongly suggest that you call your auto insurance company and review your coverage before driving on a NASA track. If you’d like to purchase additional insurance, NASA members can receive discounts on supplemental HPDE and Off-Track insurance with Lockton Motorsports.
NASA offers events through their 14 regions at nearly every road racing facility in the country. If you don’t see an event currently available, it will likely be listed very soon. Check back often to find continual updates posted.
Your membership expires 1 year after the purchase of your MY2020 GR Supra. If your member card indicates “2020” as an expiration date your membership expires on December 31, 2020.
Thank you for your NASA High Performance Driving Event registration request! We will confirm space availability for your track/date selections and will follow up with an email as soon as possible.
Thank you for your inquiry. Your questions are important to us! We will get back to you within one business day.
