We are super stoked to be back at Nelson Ledges for a full weekend of great cars and awesome people.

September 1-3 2023 at Nelson Ledges

Take your car on track with the HPDE (High Performance Driver Education).

Don't worry if you've never been on the track before. In addition to our Advanced and Intermediate run groups, we have a special "First Timers" group just for you. First Timers' will receive a ride-along instructor, plenty of classroom time between sessions and you'll be embarking on your first track driving adventure with an ultra-friendly group dedicated to making your experience awesome.

HPDE
Friday 9/1 - 944Fest HPDE - 1 Day (transaxle cars) $240
Sat / Sun 9/2-9/3 - All Cars HPDE - 2 Days (all cars welcome) $475

This is more than just a track weekend. If you're not ready to take the plunge, check out what else we have going on.

Turbo Cup Reunion - check out some of the most iconic Weissach-built racecars.

Car Show - for those of us without factory-built racecars

Mystery Poker Rally - driving around, solving clues, ending someplace cool, then having lunch

Rally-X - making a mess of the grass while being timed and not hitting any cones *maybe.

Awards - trophies for all sorts of things, not just the "best of" car show classes.

Camping - stay the whole weekend at the track (Thursday - Monday)

Bonfire - yep, we light a chord of wood on the infield Saturday night

Beer Swap - bring something interesting, swap with your friends while enjoying the bonfire.

All in all, it's a great weekend. This will be the 22nd year we've been doing this and it gets bigger and better each time. Come see what it's all about. You'll be glad you did.

Shouldn't every DE weekend include snow cones? I can't think of a better treat between track sessions than a brimming cup of shaved and flavored icey goodness.
Although snow cones may not be part of the HDPE minimum standards, they should be, and we've got you covered at 9Fest!

Come join us for 2 days on track, free SNOW CONES, a slow smoked BBQ dinner, an Event T-Shirt, camping all weekend, and a big ole infield bonfire/beer swap for just $385.

All experience levels and cars are welcome!
