busy paddock area at the 2025 NASA Championships with multiple sports cars including a white BMW M2 and a black BMW M5.

For years, HPDE drivers have been asking how they can become part of the NASA Championships. Well, now they can. NASA is pleased to announce that a run group will be offered for HPDE3 and HPDE4 drivers at the NASA Championships for the first time in the history of the event.

This is a unique chance for HPDE3 and 4 drivers to experience the energy and intensity of NASA’s most prestigious and competitive event of the year. It is also an opportunity for HPDE3 and 4 drivers to refine  their skills at Ozarks International Raceway, one of the country’s newest and most challenging race tracks, as they set their sights on a Time Trial or racing license.

There’s no better environment than the NASA Championships to showcase the top rung of the NASA ladder system. HPDE3 and 4 drivers will get four 20-minute sessions per day in one run group. The entry fee to run Friday only is $349. Entry for Saturday and Sunday costs $599.

This will let NASA HPDE drivers see and learn from the best NASA drivers in the country. Get up close to the action, soak in the Championships atmosphere and elevate you driving. Don’t miss out!

Time Trial and racing competitors will enjoy the same amount of track time as they have at past championships.

This is also a good time to remind drivers that the NASA Championships will feature the first iteration of Time Trial Street, a new initiative designed to make Time Trial competition more accessible and competitive for drivers in street-legal cars.

To be eligible for Time Trial Street, cars must be equipped with 200-plus treadwear tires and hold a valid, current street vehicle registration. Drivers who wish to participate in the inaugural TT Street Program at the 2025 NASA Championships can do so by simply adding the word “Street” to the comments section of their online registration.

Sign up for HPDE and Time Trial Street at the 2025 NASA Championships now.
