The St. Louis Region PCA's 2018 Fall DE will be held Saturday and Sunday, October 6 & 7, 2018.

If you are interested in learning high performance driving, or are anxious to get your car back on the track, you’re in luck. Registration for our last DE this season at Gateway Motorsports Park is now open.

In addition, Friday, October 5, 2018 is an "Advanced DE Day," which is open only for our Instructors, Advanced Drivers who have previously been approved to drive solo in our Advanced Group, or those who have prior email approval from us to register. Friday will be run pursuant to PCA’s “Expanded Passing” (“EP”) rules with passing permitted almost anywhere on the track with a “point by.” If you are not comfortable with EP do not register for Friday.

Most of our past DEs have sold out quickly, especially for the First Timers, Novice and Intermediate group drivers. Our last Fall DE sold out for ALL run Groups. We urge you not to wait too long to register.

Don't be disappointed. Register EARLY at: motorsportreg.com

- SELF BRAKING CARS: Important Note from PCA National regarding vehicles equipped with "automatic braking systems" that activate brakes without any driver input under certain conditions: Because it is presently not known how “Automatic Emergency Braking Systems” will react at speed in a High Performance Driver Education environment, PCA will NOT allow affected vehicles to run with our group at HPDE events UNLESS the system can be and is turned off whenever such a vehicle is on the track. While this feature is beneficial for street driving, we cannot risk endangering drivers, instructors and their vehicles at our on-track driving schools.

- HELMETS: Helmets must be Snell rated SA2010, SA2015, M2010, or M2015. No other helmets are permitted. First Timers ONLY can use one of our free loaner helmets – reserve one during registration.

- PCA MEMBER REGISTRATION: If you register as a PCA member, make sure to include your current, active PCA member number in your profile. EVERY membership will be verified during registration. Please don’t waste our time registering as a PCA member if you are not current.

- NO REFUNDS FOR CANCELLATIONS OR NO SHOWS AFTER September 24, 2018 unless your spot can be filled from our wait list. A $35 administrative fee will be deducted from ALL refunds.

As always, if you have any questions, contact Geoff, Dan, or Paul.

We hope to see you at the track.
