Summit Point Motorsports Park

Friday at the Track (FATT) is an introduction to high speed driving.  It is an instructional event where you can bring your street car out for a day at the track and enjoy going fast without the fear of red and blue lights in your rear-view mirror.  For a whole lot less than the cost of a speeding ticket, you receive classroom instruction, skidpad instruction in our cars (including front and rear skid management), and four sessions of in car instruction in your own car.  It is a chance to go fast and have fun in a safe environment.

Registration is now OPEN for April 3rd »

Group 1a is composed of total rookies or drivers with very minimal track experience.  You must have a white Driver Evaluation Card and ride with an instructor.  At the end of the session, the instructor will fill out the card rating you from one to five in three categories. If the instructor scores you highly (four or five in all areas), he/she MAY elect to "sign you off". This means a "solo" sticker will be affixed to your windshield indicating that you are allowed to drive without an instructor.  At this point he/she will initial the appropriate box on the Solo Status portion of the Driver Evaluation Card. Note: This does not mean you will be in the advanced group at your next FATT, have become "Seat Time" eligible, or will be soloing in Group 1a or 1b in the first session of your next FATT event. It simply means that the instructor thinks you are safely progressing and can benefit from some practice alone. The Event Manager, Pit Marshal, or Staff Instructor may elect to black flag you and assign you an instructor if they deem it necessary (ie: your not playing nice). You must get instructor sign offs to progress, so you need to keep using instructors at subsequent FATT events.

Not sure what that means? Probably best to sign up for Group 1. That does not mean anything less of your driving skills. If you show up and turn out to be Michael Schumacher, we'll reassign you in the correct group.

Group 2i is composed of drivers promoted from Group 1, drivers with four or more events at SPR/SC other than FATT (car clubs, Car Guys, etc.), drivers with more than four similar events at other tracks, or experienced SPR/SC drivers that haven't driven SPR/SC within the last year.

Group 2 is composed of drivers with competition licenses, drivers that have a "Seat Time" eligibility certificate from Car Guys, PCA, BMWCCA, or other approved club events at SPR/SC and of course, drivers that have progressed through the FATT evaluation system.
