The Holy Grail of Tracks. United States Best F1 Track, 3.4 miles of F1 history, with 20 turns, off & on camber, long straights. 133 feet of elevation change. F1 garages all to ourselves.

No speed limits, no pedestrians, no stoplights, but best of all – no tickets. The Cadillac V-Club in partnership with Hooked on Driving (HOD) will provide you with an experienced instructor to help guide you through the event, one on one, as you learn how to handle your car at the limit. You set your own goals and only go as fast as you feel comfortable going. Progress as far as you wish in your own car at your own pace, become a safer driver on the street, and have a blast along the way!

High Performance Driver Education (HPDE) refers to a track day held on a dedicated road racing track designed to teach drivers proper high speed driving in a controlled environment. 



All registered drivers will be entered into a blind drawing for 50% discount coupon to purchase a set of Michelin tires of their choice.  The drawing will be held at the reception dinner on Friday evening.

The cost to participate will be determined by the HOD run group you select. 

  • Do NOT try to get up at 4:00 am and make a long drive to the track. Go the night before and stay nearby so you can arrive fresh. This will be a long and exhilarating day… we don’t want you napping after lunch!!
  • Wear sunscreen and bring apparel for any changes in conditions.
  • Be early to the meetings. Get to know the drivers next to you in the paddock.
  • Experienced drivers will be super helpful to you – but only listen to our Driving Coaches for your introduction on track technique. Feel free to ask about other cars, or if you find one like yours, ask about what they’ve done to it for the track.
  • Be at all your group meetings and listen!

  • It is not mandatory that you drive your Cadillac V-Series vehicle on the track in order to participate. If you own a purpose-built track car or a Corvette, Camaro or some other "track ready" vehicle, you are welcome to register and drive that vehicle as a member of the Cadillac V-Club.
