YOU ARE INVITED to join us October 5-6, 2019 for the “VARA HPDE”.  The two day school will be held at Buttonwillow Raceway Park as a part of our Oktoberfest Sports Car Races event.  The curriculum will include classroom sessions, skid pad, braking, and lots of track time.  There will be multiple levels of instruction from beginner to veteran with many of VARA’s top drivers.

 

NOW IS THE TIME!  If you would like to see what vintage racing is all about, or have a friend or neighbor that has always wanted to give it a try, please pass along the information. THIS MAKES A GREAT GIFT!   A perfect opportunity to share your passion for the sport of Vintage Racing. This event is not a race, it is a school.

 

Remember the University of VARA counts as two weekends toward your VARA competition racing license. This License is recognized by all major racing clubs.  

​

The curriculum will include classroom sessions, skid pad,

braking, and lots of track time. 

​

This school is open to both street cars and race cars. 

Though the licensing program is only available to Race

prepped cars, both will enjoy professional instruction

with lots of track time and one on one in car instruction.
