Cadillac V-Club TechTalks - Track Day 101 (05/26/2026)

Wed, 27 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

All Cadillac V-Club members are invited to join a Zoom web conference for an online meeting with Certified HPDE Instructor, Hank Smith. A certified High-Performance Driving Education (HPDE) instructor is an experienced driver trained to teach track safety, car control, and driving technique, often certified through the Motorsport Safety Foundation (MSF). They combine advanced driving skills with communication abilities, passing rigorous evaluations to ensure they can manage a high-speed, stressful environment, focusing on safety and student development. Hank is also the Chapter Director of the Cadillac V-Club Austin Chapter.

Brett Larson of OpenTrack.com who is a Gold Sponsor of the Cadillac V-Club will also be joining this meeting as a guest speaker and to participate in the Q&A session for those members who have questions regarding track insurance.

A lot of track cars are weekend toys — a dedicated build, a second car sitting in the garage between events, or something trailered to the track that never sees a public road. Standard auto policies often don't cover vehicles that aren't street-registered or that are used in performance driving.

Toy insurance is built for exactly this: collector cars, weekend drivers, and track-dedicated builds that deserve real coverage regardless of how often they're on the road.

RSVP registration via CadillacVClub.com is mandatory to confirm your attendance and receive access to the ZOOM credentials necessary to participate in the meeting. You will need to install the ZOOM app on either your mobile or desktop device in order to participate. The meeting will begin promptly on Tuesday, May 26 at 5:00PM PDT, 7:00PM CDT and 8:00PM EDT.

This is your opportunity to learn more about participating in closed circuit road racing events before attending your next track event.

AGENDA:

Who hosts & manages these type of events?
Who attends High Performance Driving Education events (HPDE)?
What safety measures are in place?
What types of cars are allowed?
What is a Driving Education weekend like?
What should I expect to learn?
What are the logistics & activities associated with an "on track" HPDE event?
How much track time should I expect for my run group?
What are the minimum preparation requirements for a track event?
Should I have my OEM brake fluid flushed and changed to DOT4?
What amount of wear and tear on my vehicle should I expect?
What is the difference between a HPDE vs SCCA TrackNight in America event?
What is the difference between an HPDE event vs attending the Cadillac V-Performance Academy?
Should I purchase track insurance for a 1 or 2 day event?
Q & A

Due to ZOOM attendee limitations, this event is restricted to only members of the Cadillac V-Club and to the first 300 members who RSVP to attend.

HOD offers the best and longest running Beginner/Novice driving program in the industry! (HOD believes in 1-on-1 coaching, and great classroom downloads. Don't settle for "lead-follow." We'll get you up to speed quickly and safely)

Do NOT try to get up at 4:00 am and make a long drive to the track. Go the night before and stay nearby so you can arrive fresh. This will be a long and exhilarating day… we don’t want you napping after lunch!!

Wear sunscreen and bring apparel for any changes in conditions.

Be early to the meetings. Get to know the drivers next to you in the paddock.

Experienced drivers will be super helpful to you – but only listen to our Driving Coaches for your introduction on track technique. Feel free to ask about other cars, or if you find one like yours, ask about what they’ve done to it for the track.

ABOUT SEBRING RACEWAY PARK

LOCATION
Sebring International Raceway
113 Midway Dr
Sebring, FL

Website: www.sebringinternationalraceway.com

Sebring is renowned for its rough surface. The course still runs on old sections of World War II-era landing fields that were constructed of concrete sections with large seams. The transitions between sections are quite rough and often, sparks fly from the undercarriages of the cars as they traverse them. Much of the track has intentionally been left with its original concrete runway surface. The track surface has 3.04 miles (4.89 km) of asphalt and 0.7 miles (1.1 km) of concrete. Mario Andretti, a 3-time 12 Hours winner, said that one of the hardest parts about the original Sebring track was finding the track to begin with! There had been many accounts of drivers retiring due to accidents at night, quite simply because they got lost on the runway sections and couldn't find the track again. Some drivers got lost even during the day, mostly because the track was poorly marked down with white lines and cones.
