Experience the Thrill of the Track – No Commitment Required with
The St Louis PCA's Track EXPerience
Ever wondered what it’s like to drive on a real racetrack? Our Track Experience (Track EXP) gives you the chance to sample high-performance driving without committing to a full day or weekend event!
Your Track EXP journey begins with a comprehensive briefing, then, you’ll be paired with a PCA-approved instructor, who will take you for an exhilarating ride-along in one of our beginner run groups, where you’ll learn the basics of track driving, safety protocols, and event structure.
During your session, you’ll gain firsthand insight into:
✅ Car control and the fundamentals of high-performance driving
✅ The racing line and how to navigate the track efficiently
✅ Traffic management and safe passing requirements
✅ Track safety including corner worker stations and run group formats
This is your perfect first step into the world of performance driving—an exciting, low-pressure way to experience the track before deciding to take the wheel yourself, all for just $100 of which $50 will be credited to your account for a future HPDE registration (good for one year after participation)!
