These are the Chicago Region guidelines for skill levels expected in Drivers’ Education Run Groups. Included are the levels of accomplishment we look for in promoting a driver to a higher Run Group. It is understood that drivers within each group will be at varying levels of achievement. The information provided is not to be interpreted as all encompassing, rather a narrative which acts as a guide to the Region and Driver.

A DE Event is Driver Education and NOT Racer Education. The road course is being made available to an entire Run Group of drivers working together to the benefit and safety of all. Passing slower cars should not be viewed as eliminating 'aliens' in a video game, but more like a dance as coordination is necessary with your partner and nobody wants to be stepped on. This is a serious part of your learning process above and beyond being fun for the car you are dancing with.

PCA instructors are the backbone of this region’s driver education program. This year the Chicago region is going to recognize our instructors for their dedication and commitment by giving back in the way of a $25 gift voucher. These individually numbered vouchers will be distributed to instructors at the end of the event when the student evaluations are turned in. The gift vouchers can be used for any PCA Chicago region entrance fees including track events, concour and social events. You can use them individually or several can be collected and used together.
