Mission Statement
Kojote Motorsports, Inc. (Kojote) targets a niche market. This is characterized by drivers who have acquired a high level of driving skill and maturity in a variety of venues including but not limited to: Porsche Club of America (PCA) driving schools, SCCA, Historic and Vintage Racing organizations such as HSR or SVRA and a variety of other safety focused driving organizations.Kojote operates events at closed road race tracks, primarily on the USA East coast. These are driving schools, not a race or race preparation. Typical venues for Kojote events are Watkins Glen International Raceway, Lime Rock Park, Virginia International Raceway. The aim of these events is to provide an educational venue for advanced drivers. While there are many other venues including car club (PCA, BMWCCA) Driver Education, car club or vintage racing programs, open track test days, or personal track rental, there are few programs where a small number of advanvced drivers may easily share a track with the purpose of ongoing education on safe, high performance driving.
Kojote provides a unique environment where event participants may focus on this on-going education. One of Kojote’s essential missions is to create a safe environment for participants to learn new driving skills from each other as well as from professional instructors, and for its participants to learn about vehicle dynamics, car setup, equipment alternatives, etc. from more experienced drivers as well as professional engineers.
Event Participants
Event participants use their own cars and equipment. Kojote does not provide vehicles, equipment or technical support. To drive in an event, a participant must have pre-paid all applicable fees for the event. Participants may bring guests to an event. Guests must agree to and sign all applicable waivers for Kojote and the track. Guests are expected to conform to all Kojote and track rules. Failure to do so will reflect on the participant who brought them, including potentially being asked to leave the event.Comparison of Other Venues
Open Track days are too uncontrolled. Test & Tune days are by nature small (perhaps 5 cars). Racing is racing. It is not a controlled, educational event. Traditional car club Driver Education Programs offer some opportunity. However, responsibilities for many of the advanced drivers focus on teaching inexperienced or first time students. Hence, there is limited opportunity for continuing education for the advanced driving instructors themselves. Sometimes there is limited opportunity to even drive their own car!Kojote is not competitive with PCA or BMWCCA Driver Education, PCA Club Racing, SCCA, or Historic Racing (HSR, SVRA, etc.) programs. It provides a complementary program aimed at increasing the skill and safety of advanced drivers. That increased talent will inevitably have a beneficial effect on other venues in which they participate.
While some professional driving schools provide vehicles and equipment for their students, Kojote does not. Participants at Kojote events should already be advanced drivers, not beginner students. Participants use their own vehicles at Kojote events. Kojote does not provide any cars, equipment, technical support, etc. for event participants.
