Increase HPDE Participation
Improve the Learning Experience & Generate Revenue.
As an HPDE classroom instructor, I see a lot of students who look like deer caught in the headlights at their first events. This course from Ross can not only prepare them for what they need to put into practice, but would also lower their anxiety, helping them to have more fun.
What is Performance Driving 101?
It’s an online eCourse that covers all the information typically covered in at-track classroom sessions (you know, the ones that most students are having a difficult time paying attention to).
The eCourse is accessed on a laptop, tablet or smartphone – so it can be used at any time, and anywhere.
The topics covered in Performance Driving 101 are:
- Vision
- The controls (seating, steering wheel, pedals, mirrors)
- Shifting techniques
- Vehicle dynamics (weight transfer, traction, under/oversteer, balance, smoothness)
- Cornering technique (reference points, the line, priorities)
Each module of the eCourse is made up of short (1 to 5 minute) units, so a student can go through the course at their own pace, on their own schedule. The units are made up of videos, graphics, downloadable resources, and reinforcing questions.
Most important, the student will arrive at your HPDE event with a solid understanding of the basic concepts, terms, skills and techniques, making instruction more productive and efficient, not to mention safer and more fun.

How does this program work?
There is more than one way to make this work, but here’s the most popular…
Novice and near-novice students are provided the Performance Driving 101 eCourse at no cost to them. Upon registration for your HPDE event, an email is sent to them with the Login info, communicating that they are expected to complete the course prior to arriving at the track (you can have them provide a copy of the Completion Certificate the eCourse generates as proof). Click here for a sample of the email.
After your HPDE event, or once per month, Speed Secrets will invoice your club for the number of eCourses that were registered for. But rather than the full $79.00 per course, your club gets a 50% off price, so you only pay $39.50 per student. $39.50 is an inexpensive one-time-only price to pay to Wow! a participant, resulting in them coming back to your HPDE events again and again. Oh, and once you’ve paid for the eCourse for a student, it’s theirs for life. How’s that for a way to build loyalty?!
That’s it. That’s how it works. If your club has any special needs, I’m more than happy to work with you. Just let me know what you’re thinking.

Completed the course on my PC, very nicely done. Even with over 80 days on track I still found it very useful. Look forward to future more advanced courses. Ross should market a version of this to ALL HPDE organizations as their novice introduction classroom.
I’ve read almost every book written about performance driving. And I’ve taken almost every driving course (Bondurant, Skip Barber, ProFormance) but this is the best explanation and instruction I’ve experienced. Ross has managed to use state-of-the-art technology to make a course that is interactive and utilizes animation to explain performance driving. The emphasis stays on having fun, while creating smooth and skillful drivers. This is what the sport has needed! This should be a prerequisite for everyone who intends to drive their car on a race track.
The eCourse was full of useful, insightful information that really encapsulates what a beginner to our sport should know before buying a helmet and heading out to the track. It’s a great way to put everything in perspective of the key take-aways, and the important things to focus on before setting a wheel on track. It’s an indispensable way of cutting through a lot of noise too many beginners in our sport muddle through on their first few days at an HPDE event, especially at schools where classroom may not be a strong or integral part of the curriculum.
