HPDE
AUTOCROSS
AUTOCROSS
HPDE stands for High Performance Driver Education. It's code for: bring a car onto a track to learn Performance Driving. This is not racing. It is track driving. You will have an instructor work with you on the track, which will make you more confident and a better driver overall. And, you will have a smile you can't remove!!!
The experiences will vary, but these experiences will generally take half of a day.
AUTOCROSS
AUTOCROSS
AUTOCROSS
Autocross takes place on the FCP Euro Proving Grounds; a .52 mile permanent, paved road course that's fun and easy to drive using the Just Hands Racing car. These programs allow you to learn car control in a high-performance setting without the higher risks.

Not yet ready to be the one behind the wheel, but you still want to experience the thrill? Sit in the passenger seat and get the rush of the track with one of our drivers.
IS IT SAFE?
It's very safe. There is no random passing. You can only pass if someone gives you a "point by" (an arm signal to you to say they see you and are allowing you to pass). Similarly, no one can pass you without you giving a point-by. That makes things very safe!!
Thanks to HMS Motorsports and Nicholas Tobin Insurance we have SNELL 2020 Helmets with integrated Trac-Coms radios (the best, in our opinion!) so you can talk with your instructor. We also provice HANS devices for Head and Neck protection. And soon, we will have NOVEC fire suppression thanks to AMT Motorsport.

This is JHRFs main track. LRP is in the Northwest corner of CT, just under a 2 hour drive from NYC and is considered one of the countries most strategic tracks. It's also gorgeous!

Palmer is a relatively new track in south central Mass, but it feels like driving through the Swiss Alps! (the views are great, but please keep your eyes on the track!)
