How did the Performance Racing League get started?
A number of our more serious Michelin Challenge series competitors expressed the desire to try real door to door racing, but in a highly disciplined, relatively safe environment with other owners/drivers that they knew and trusted. In response to their needs, VDI created the Performance Racing League (PRL). We experimented with this at a number of our events in 1998 and determined that we would make it a permanent component of all VDI events beginning in 1999. Safety and driver skill are again emphasized requiring specific changes for safety and by allowing modifications designed to equalize cars. Hoosier Racing Tires has been the series sponsor since its inception and we have contract through 2009. As of this date, approximately fifty-five VDI graduates participate in the Performance Racing League series. As a testament to the driver skills learned in the PRL fifteen of our drivers are successfully competing in the SCCA Pro World Challenge series. Two PRL drivers have won the “Rookie of the year” awards for the last two years. All high end performance cars are involved in the PRL.
