Ive been doing some light research and found performancedrivinggroup.com looks like they run Daytona, Sebring, PBIR, and Homestead. Also found Chin Motorsports that runs alot of the bigger tracks on the East Coast with at least 1 Sebring event a month. I'm going to try and do my first track day sometime the end of Jan or Feb.

PDG is legit, i just did PBIR on Dec 3....

I have signed up for Jan 13 for PBIR again...

Its good stuff... each session is 25 minutes, and there are 5 sessions per group, then i believe 45 minutes of open track at end of day.

Homestead, Sebring, Daytona, PBIR are all on the roster.

Let me know if you're planning on heading to any of these and I'll see about meeting ya!

The next Daytona HPDE will be April 12-13, 2018.

After that the next Daytona event won't be until in the fall - the PDG HPDE Oct 5-6-7, 2018.

So, if you want to run Daytona in April check out this info, as well as a thread about it in the AutoX/Roadrace section of the forum:

https://clubregistration.net/events/...cfm/event/8649

Hope to c'ya at the track!!

I couldn't make the 12th because I'll have family in town for my wife's birthday. I signed up for Miami Homestead on Jan 21st with PDG, if anyone else will be there.

I'm an instructor for PDG, Chin motorsports, HOD and FARA. I'd advise u to try Sebring. Chin motorsports goes there a lot but u have to find out when they open registration cause the novice group fills very fast. You go the night before and stay at a hotel. I don't really like PBIR and its decreasing radius turns (boring and kills tires). Homestead is really nice also. Daytona is fun the first time then it gets kinda boring (my 2 cents) PDG gives a free lunch and the most track time. HOD is out of business for now in Fla. Just remember to change brake fluid and bleed brakes before track day.
