HPDE General Event Information

Please read the following information in its entirety as it contains import information and key times as well as links to specific details for novice and advanced drivers.

HPDE events are some of our busiest days so please plan accordingly and give yourself ample time to arrive, check-in at the front gate, register and attend the mandatory drivers meeting.

Please also note if coming from Ottawa: Construction at the 417 and Calabogie Rd. turn off is still ongoing and may cause slight delays. An easy alternate route to avoid the intersection is to exit the 417 at Arnprior (#184) and head south on White Lake Rd. for 12 KMs then right at the stop onto Burnstown Rd. which will connect you back to the HWY 508 where you will turn left and then proceed as you would normally.

**At any and all race tracks attendance at a drivers meeting is mandatory, Calabogie is no exception, failure to attend will result in lost track time as the important points are still required to go over with you prior to being allowed on track.**

Each person onsite needs to sign a waiver before arriving, this includes any guests coming with you.

The link below will allow you to sign it online prior to arrival, no paper waivers are available.
