Well, just FYI- the HPCCC is now PDC, and is part of this whole program. I'll look forward to talking with you at National, since I wrote the rules and such for the PDC based on the HPDE model, and much was taken from privately run events and marque club stuff that worked. I've worked those types of events at various levels (been everything from a participant to a lead instructor), so I (hopefully) wrote the setup to be conducive to organizers AND participants. We were given a lot of latitude, so I wrote what I knew worked, and it seems to have been accepted. We're awaiting final OK from BoD at the Convention meeting, but I'm told that it should be good to go...Originally posted by apexingsupra:
Actually SCCA now does have that "bridge", the HPCCC (High Performance Car Control Clinics). I don't care for the title but it is Driver's Education program that has been in existence for the last two years and my region, Alabama, has been putting on HPCCCs the last two years. The program needs to be tweaked some and I have put my two cents in on that and thankfully some changes have been made. It needs to run in a event chair friendly and entrant friendly format and under rules similar to PCA and BMWCCA which have been doing this for a long time without major issues. It needs to be promoted more heavily and I have discussed this with National more than once. They seem to be listening
Again, I'd LOVE to hear from people, either at convention or afterwards (here or private email) about what you think of the rules. It's my first real work in writing one of these things "from scratch" (the GCR is the pattern, I worked off that), so I'm interested in ANY criticism (with workable suggestions preferably) you guys have. EVen though I think I know everything, I do realize that I have LOTS of room for improvement...
