Street Survival



This school is designed for younger drivers who want to understand the limits of their car in wet and dry conditions. It is well worth it. Sponsored by TireRack, SCCA, Porsche Club, and BMW CCA, these guys will send you through the ringer on wet/dry skid pad, autocross, slalom, lane change, and maximum braking tests in various conditions. It is an all day event with equal parts classroom and driving your own car. I wanted to do it but they only permit entry to 15 to 21 year old drivers with learners permit or drivers license.



It is the best $75.00 you or your parents will ever spend. And you get to drive your car, to the limits and beyond, all while an experienced performance driving instructor is with you. How much more fun could you have.

Can't find anything there located in Arizona

Look up HPDE events in your area. I'm sure there are plenty you can find.

As another poster noted HPDE's do exist, however they are much more expensive and require some expertise IMHO. I would hit the "Request A School" button at the bottom of the page listing all the Street Survival locations and make a request. Tell them your story. "I am 16 years old and have a new car that has great performance. I really want to learn about its limits in a controlled environment and it looks like your school has just what I need. Are there plans for a school near Scottsdale AZ any time soon."

Please, steal those words, adapt them to fit what you want to say, I gladly give you my permission, not that it was required anyway. You might be surprised at what happens.

I would think it very cool to hear about your experiences at a school like this.

Edit: BTW, a school like this, along with good grades, oh ... and no tickets ... could have a significant impact on insurance premiums.
