Open Track Laps At Palmer
|
ZERO TRACK EXPERIENCE NEEDED,
NEWBIES WELCOME FOR OT-LAPS
Open Track Laps at Palmer Series (OT LAPS) is a half-day track program for all drivers. It allows people to drive their own car—at speed—on the racetrack.
Driving sessions are based by experience level (novice, experienced, or advanced groups). For the novice group (those with little or no track experience), classroom sessions and in-car coaching is available.
OT LAPS Dates
Wed May 28
Wed Jun 25
Tue Jul 15

OT LAPS provides three 20-minute lapping sessions. In addition, a "touring laps" session lets all attendees (guests & passengers ok) tour the track at street speeds (no helmets).
NOVICE GROUP SESSIONS
The novice group always runs separately from the other groups and the focus is on race track fundamentals. A
classroom session (approx. 30 minutes) conducted before the first on-track session introduces basic race track details:
»
Track safety: Flags, pitting in/out, point-bys
»
Driving: seating, hand-eye-foot coordination
»
Vehicle dynamics: weight transfer, traction.
»
Car placement, consistency, visual focus.
»
What to do in a spin, reacting at speed.
Instructors are available on a per-session basis, by request. Novice drivers may review theHPDE School page for more details about what to expect.
EXPERIENCED & ADVANCED GROUP SESSIONS
Experienced & advanced drivers can expect 3+ sessions and 60+ minutes total track time. Experienced and advanced group drivers may be permitted to drive in both sessions, depending on car counts and track conditions.
Experienced drivers may wish to review Open Lapping page for more information.
