Description Attention Drivers (read before registering):

Come on out and enjoy some beautiful fall weather and experience the Augusta of grand prix tracks, and one of the finest road racing facilities in the world - Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL. Our Fall Driver Education Weekend is scheduled for November 7-8, 2026.  Register early as this event sells out fast.

Our weekend event will run five groups of drivers starting with the Drivers Education Experience (DEX) and continuing up from novice w/instructor to advanced/expert. The DEX is a Saturday one day event specifically designed to provide a safe and educational experience for those interested in getting a taste of driving your car on a road course track. It is attractively priced at $100. Please see the attached DEX description for more details. 

Skid Pad Option A special opportunity at this event to have access to wet skid pad.  A separate wristband allows you to use skid pad between your group sessions.  Each turn will be ~5-10 mins (depending on demand), then rotate to the next waiting driver.  This is on a first come first serve basis and time on the skid pad will vary each day depending on how many drivers are in line.  Only available to fully paid drivers, not available to DEX.

In order for your registration to be complete and eligible to be confirmed, the following must be performed:
1. Have set up your personal account and profile on the Clubregistration.net website. 
2. Select the type of registration: DEX, PCA Member, Non PCA Member, etc. 
3. Sign the online e-waiver and then verify the text message.
4. If you would like to purchase an event T-shirt size for $25. Select T-Shirt size and quantity.
5. COMPLETE EVENT FEE PAYMENT.  Slots in all driver's groups are limited and are awarded based on the date of full payment, earliest first. 
6. Updated your recent (last 2-3 years) track experience at Barber in your Clubregistration profile.

PCA members - make sure to enter your PCA member number to be eligible for the member discount. If you are not a PCA member, please consider joining as the event fee savings for one event more than covers the annual cost of PCA dues. 

For those traveling from out of town.  We have preferred rates at both the Hampton Inn and Fairfield Inn.  Links will be sent in registration confirmation email.
