Hand signals are mandatory — the driver here is exiting the track
SAVE THE DATE… MoHud’s 2012 PDX is scheduled for Saturday, October 20.
Saturday, October 22, 2011, we visited scenic Lime Rock Park for a fall foliage driving experience. Heard the weather was good, and participants got the chance to drive the challenging Lime Rock Park full 1.56-mile course. Lime Rock Park is about 1 to 1.5 hours south of Albany. Barring the return of public access at Monticello, LRP stands to be a regular MoHud PDX destination. Note: there’s a 88 db sound limit for all cars participating at Lime Rock Park, no exceptions.

MoHud PDX events are open to any SCCA member with a valid driver’s license and a car that meets safety requirements. A $15 temporary membership is available for the weekend for those who are not yet club members.
This is not a racing school but rather a high performance car control clinic on a race circuit under close supervision by instructors. You will be taught the fine art of car control and fundamentals of vehicle dynamics. You will be able to learn the capabilities of your car and improve your driving skills at speeds that are not permitted on public roads. All drivers will be instructed on safety regulations and general track etiquette.
Instruction is provided in-car and in classroom by our experienced cadre of performance drivers, many of whom you might be familiar with from Patroon BMWCCA.
In addition to the “Pre-Event Safety Inspection,” which the driver is required to have performed, an “On-Site Safety Inspection” will be performed at the site in the morning, prior to you getting out on track. Cars failing the on-site inspection will not be permitted on the track. No refunds will be given for cars failing the on-site inspection.

So You Think You Want To Be A Racer
Run at different track locations throughout the country, the PDX provides an instructional environment for drivers who simply want to improve their driving skills and increase their enjoyment of driving their street vehicle. True to the “run what ya brung” adage, all it takes to be a part is your street car, a valid license and a helmet.

Scenes from MoHud’s 2010 PDX at Monticello Motor Club
MoHud’s track day at Monticello earned the club recognition at the 2010 National Convention, held in Las Vegas, for “Best PDX in the Northeast Region in 2010.” Let’s do it again in 2011!

It is generally advisable to stay off the grass. If you do go off, remain off and wait for instruction from the nearest visible worker station.
