Waiver

Anyone entering the facility will need to sign the INDE Track Waiver. NASA also needs an original copy of signed NASA Waiver. All drivers MUST sign BOTH to get on track. Anyone else must show proof (i.e. Wristband/s) that they signed at least one of them to be on the property. If you do not sign the NASA Waiver, please see Driver Info prior to the Sat morning 7:30AM Drivers Meeting to get that taken care of.

Driver Info / Registration

• Will be located inside "The Barn"
• Forgot to print a tech form or track map or something else similar? Look in the small black plastic file cabinet sitting on the Driver Info table labeled "Self Serve Forms", it probably has what you need
• Looking for a printed schedule? There is a small white plastic cabinet sitting on the Driver Info table labeled "Schedules"
• HPDE1 should “check in” with registration. All other groups will receive their "Driver" wristband from their respective Group Leader directly after the Drivers Meetin

Rules

All participants should be aware of the NASA Club Codes & Regulations found here (http://nasaproracing.com/rules/ccr.pdf)

All participants should also be aware of the NASA Arizona region specific Supplemental Rules found here (https://nasaaz.com/nasa-arizona-supplemental-rules/)

“What time do I need to show up?”

This is the #1 question we are asked, especially by the folks new to NASA. See the event schedule (below or attached) for exact times but we recommend ~1 hour prior to the drivers meeting (@ 7:30AM) to allow enough time to find a spot, check in with Driver Info (if you’re HPDE1) and get your car through tech and any other last min items before the drivers meeting.

Tech Inspection

All HPDE cars require an onsite tech inspection prior to being allowed on track (1 tech inspection is good for both days). HPDE participants should print and fill out the "HPDE Tech" Form prior to arriving to tech. Race group & Time Trial competitors will use the “Annual Race Car” Tech forms if they haven’t already done their annual inspection. Forms can be found @ Forms - NASA (drivenasa.com)

Race car annual "renewals" can be done onsite for a fee of $20 (via pre-reg or cash onsite). Race cars without a logbook are highly encouraged to get their first tech inspection done offsite at a shop so that there is an opportunity to fix any found not in compliance. If a safety item is identified onsite, you may not be able to drive.

NOTE: Annual Tech may will be available on Fri afternoon (hours TBD) and all day Sat & Sun.

Drivers Meetings / Downloads

The Sat AM drivers meeting is mandatory for ALL drivers, instructors, officials/admin. All other meeting times and locations will be announced by your respective Group Leader directly after the drivers meeting.

Flag Knowledge

It is all drivers responsibility to have all flags memorized as this is how our safety flagging officials primarily communicate with you as a driver. If you need a refresher, grab a Flag FAQ sheet from the "Self Serve Forms" file cabinet located at Driver Info. Please note a few details about flags which are specific to NASA Arizona:

• White Flag (waving) - @ S/F for HPDE4 indicating the session will end soon (i.e. last lap or close to it). This is done so that participants who signed up also for Time Trial are not late to Grid for sessions which could be back to back
• Black flag w/ white X - this will be displayed for competition sessions indicating your transponder is no working
• Red flag - follow standard definition to stop but in addition to that we ask that when you stop, you do so on the right side of the track
• Electronics Lights - we may use these, more directions & info will be given during the Sat AM drivers meeting

Rental Helmets

Rental helmets are available @ $20/day which will be available for registered drivers first. Helmet rentals for passengers will be on a 1st come 1st served basis after the Drivers Meeting.

Sat Night BBQ

We plan on hosting a Sat night BBQ once the track goes cold. Menu is TBD. The Missus will plan to have some of her "games" to keep everyone entertained.

Passengers

Looking to take a passenger along for a ride on track? No problem but there's a few more steps required:

1. Passengers need to be 18 (with photo ID proof of age)

2. Passengers are only allowed in HPDE3, HPDE4 or Time Trial

3. Passengers are required to sign the "Passenger Waiver" (in addition to the general "Gate Waiver")

4. Pay the $20 fee

Transponder Rentals

• Need to be checked out at Driver Info

• Need to be returned to registration within 30 mins of your final session to avoid a late fee

• Time Attack competitors: If you rented a transponder for your TA session, it is only available for your TA laps. If you need a transponder for TT or Race group you will be required to pay for a rental.

Timing and Scoring

Hardcopy results will be posted on the sign easels at Driver Info. They can also be found online:

• Live (real time & archived) T&S @ https://racehero.io/events
