Now Available! Thanks to Andy Labout (a PCA racer) and Paul Leonard (SCCA) for creating amazing video simulations of HPR. With their combined considerable computer skills they are able to adapt virtual simulators to the actual HPR track layout and elevation changes. In the process, they have made some recorded laps available on YouTube for you to view and enjoy. Their intentions are to build the computer simulations so accurately that they can be used as a learning tool before actually running the track. Very ambitious and very neat. Click below is a sample of their work. To see a more of their work, visit the YouTube page where other recorded laps can be viewed. Check 'em out. The really neat thing is, if you have a group of people getting together, we can arrange for Andy or Paul to bring a laptop with the HPR simulation already installed (and equipped with a steering wheel) to allow folks to take virtual laps of HPR. Way cool!!!! If you wish to arrange this fun thing for your group, go to the Contact Us page, scroll to the question/comment form at the bottom, and submit a request. We'll try our best to make t happen for you. (Sorry no on-line version of the game is available for you “gamers.” ) |

Site Visits "WOW" is the consensus of those who visit the site of HPR site. If you'd like to have a guided tour of the track site, simply make a request using the CONTACT US page of the website and send an email. We'll happy to accommodate you by appointment. Bring your walking shoes!!! At this point the track layout had been staked out. So you can really see and walk exactly where the track be located. It's an exciting thing to imagine racing the 2.5 mile circuit with its rolling terrain which offers elevation drops of 70' on one leg and 50' on another. |

The above two pictures really show the nice rolling terrain, a key feature of HPR and the secret behind memorable race tracks.. Even the pictures don't do justice to the elevation changes on the track. Use the CONTACT US page to schedule a visit and to see it for yourself. |

| Here visitors are standing about the SW corner of the paddock area where the track comes up from the Prairie Cork Screw towards start/finish.. View is looking West. | Looking west, the above group of visitors are standing approximately at the end of the long highway straight where it goes right first, then left over the ridge towards Danny's Lesson. | ||||

| Charlie Thompson, CAMA General Manager, discusses the history of how HPR came about and an overview of its structure. | Bill Howard, owner of PlanWest, Inc. describes in detail all that went into the track design. Bill also provided attendees info on the background and status of the entitlement process (Zoning, USR application, etc.). | ||||
