Do you meet the requirements that are specified in the rule book and by your Regional Competition Director? Some RCDs have more stringent rules than the Rule Book has. Your Club Governor can provide you with contact Info for the RCD or can contact the RCD for you.

Where do you live?

If you belong to an NCCC East region club, you need to attend an HPDE to qualify for your NCCC high speed license. NASA, SCCA, FATT all have programs that will give you that experience.

Fortunately thats not true. I don't have a car to take the comp school. I also have no desire to do anything but instruct and time trials.
I've had my NCCC high speed license longer than my time trial license

An approved HPDE weekend or two is usually the minimum. Adrej is in the east region and they don't take the 10 low speed autocrosses to issue a high speed - for good reason. There have been issues in the past.
Here in the Southeast region the 10 low speed autocrosses will get your license if Don has run with you.
NCCC high speed events are usually one car timed events. There may be other cars on the track but they are spaced so you won't come up on them and others won't come up on you.

That is not the way it is supposed to work. The RCD does not have the right to restrict someone who qualifies for a license according to the rule book. 10 races over 3 weekends and you get your license. RCDs are not the great an powerful OZ. They are there to ensure the rulebook is followed.

9 out of 10 incidents on a track are not from the "new" drivers. It is from people like us who think they can get just that little bit extra out of the car and go over the edge. The new drivers usually are too timid to push their car past it's limit.
