The High Performance Driving school is an excellent way for you to improve your driving skills and have fun too! This one day school combines classroom and on-track instruction in a closely supervised and controlled environment. At our multi-day schools, you have the opportunity to enhance your learning experience, by building on the previous day's learning.

We welcome the camaraderie of all enthusiasts and different makes of cars at our schools - you don't have to own a BMW to enjoy our events!

This year, there is an ADS exemption for qualifying students. We strongly encourage all driving school participants to take our ADS school as a prerequisite. These schools greatly enhance your track experience and the advanced skills are an integral part of our Instructor Training Program. However, an exemption to this policy may apply, if you live over 90 miles from NHMS, have previous track experience, or the ADS school is sold out and you sign up for the following ADS school before your next track day.

Check out our REVISED Passing Policy for advanced students and instructors!

In the classroom, you will learn about vehicle dynamics and driving techniques to reinforce what you read in our curriculum. The road course is discussed along with "the line" one should follow. Advanced students learn alternate lines, including various racing lines. The instructor will discuss the technical aspects covering cornering, braking, and accelerating for various turns. In this open forum, students get an opportunity to talk about any "problem" areas to get feedback from the instructor and other drivers.

Students will then get to put this knowledge to use, on the 1.7 mile road course at NHMS. With an in-car instructor, students can practice the techniques learned through our fun and technically challenging course. With our expert instructors, you will get immediate feedback as you progress through the learning process. The invaluable insight and experience that our instructors possess, will provide you with the tools to improve your driving, both on and off the track

In addition, students will also perform flagging duties (Flagging manual), which is a key factor in track safety, where they will monitor a specific section of the track, signaling to drivers of any problems. Students learn about track protocols and gain the opportunity to see how other drivers (and instructors) drive through a section of the course. Just watching another driver take a corner than has been challenging for you, can lend considerable insight and give you some fresh ideas to try when it's your turn on the track.

Through an anonymous donation, the White Mountain Chapter now has a Race Technology DL-1 Data Acquisition system. This system will initially be used for Instructor trainees, to help refine their driving skills and help them become better instructors. In the future, we may provide Data Acquisition analysis services for Advanced students at an additional fee.
