WDCR Season Sponsors
Join the Washington DC Region SCCA for a High Performance Driving Education (HPDE) event, March 21-22 on the wonderful Summit Point Shenandoah Circuit.
This is our yearly HPDE and Instructor Clinic. (Novice on Sunday, no Time Trials.)
Fewer run groups this weekend which means lots of track time !
Saturday's 3 run groups are Intermediate, Advanced, and Clinic, and no classroom sessions. (Saturday's schedule can rarely change due to the needs of the Instructor Clinic.)
Sunday's 4 run groups are Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Instructor.
Experience the thrill of the track in a supportive, high-performance environment. We welcome drivers of all levels, from the driver that’s never been on track to Time Trials competitors, offering:
- Track Time: Generous track time, and tailored run groups.
- Personalized Coaching: Work with licensed SCCA instructors.
- Classroom: We get great reviews on our classrooms, dynamic and driver focused.
- Community: A welcoming culture, a free Saturday night social dinner, and fun paddock discussions, all to connect with fellow enthusiasts.
- Volunteers: We have The Best! Workers, flaggers, registrars, planners, instructors, leaders, and more.

Our cancellation policy has changed for 2026. Attendee's credit cards will now be charged 2 days prior to the event. Any cancellations after that will result in WDCR recording credit for a future event, minus the $200 cancellation fee. Details of our full cancellation policy will be available during this registration process. Please remember that we are a non-profit club, and we hope this new policy will minimize the work load on our volunteers and minimize any lost revenue that you, as our club members, might have to cover.
