Porsche Club of America – Zone 8 welcomes you!

 

The 14th Annual California Festival of Speed comes to Auto Club Speedway April 10, 11, and 12, 2015!  This registration site is for Time Trial registration only.  The Time Trial features timed practice sessions on the roval all three days, with "qualifying-style" official timed runs on Sunday afternoon.  There is a single base price to drive in this three-day mega-event ($365, plus any other fees discussed below).  You may run one, two, or all three days for that price, so long as you attend the mandatory Drivers Meetings on the days you wish to drive.  And, just added, for the first time ever at the Festival, we'll be featuring 3 Time Trial run groups, including a group with Expanded Passing on the entire course!  We'll now have fewer cars per group, while still providing the same amount of track time, for a top notch driving experience.

Roval

















This event also features a Club Race.  Complete registration for the Club Race, including Time Trial Timed Runs (with no practice sessions) for Club Racers only, is at a different site:  http://www.ClubRegistration.net.  If you aren't sure of the difference between a Time Trial and a Club Race, please contact the Registrar prior to signing up so we can help you register for the proper event on the proper system.

To register online for the Time Trial practice sessions and Timed Runs we require that you join our group here on MotorsportReg.com.  Regardless of which region of PCA you belong to or if you don't belong to PCA at all, you must join the PCA - Zone 8 CFOS group on this web site (note:  this just means adding PCA - Zone 8 CFOS to your list of Clubs on MotorsportReg; it does not make you a member of PCA).  This will be done as a step in the registration process.  Non-Porsches that meet our rules are welcome!!!

TIME TRIAL REGISTRATION PRIORITY:  Registrations are taken first-come, first-served.  Students that require an Instructor will be Waitlisted until an Instructor becomes available for them.  Drivers that wish to have an Instructor assist them are prioritized only after all Students that require an Instructor are accommodated.

Physical Damage Insurance – NEW:  Insurance for your car is available for this event via Lockton Affinity, LLC, PCA's exclusively endorsed insurance provider.  Note that liability coverage is not included and Time Trial Timed Runs are specifically excluded from coverage.  This insurance is strictly optional.  For more info click here.

Event Hotels:  We have two event hotels this year.  Each is offering a group rate (ask for the Porsche California Festival of Speed special rate) of $95 per night plus tax until March 26 or sold out (whichever occurs first), and includes breakfast, internet access, and parking.  Hilton Garden Inn, 11481 Mission Vista Dr, Rancho Cucamonga, CA  91730, (909) 481-1800 (king beds at this location).  Courtyard by Marriott, 11525 Mission Vista Dr, Rancho Cucamonga, CA  91730, (909) 481-6476 or click here (two queens or one king bed at this location).  If sold out, you may wish to try the TownePlace Suites by Marriott, 9625 Milliken Ave, Rancho Cucamonga, CA  91730, (909) 466-1100.  Call any hotel directly.  This rate is not available on ANY website or via ANY other phone number other than what is shown immediately above; the travelnow.com or Expedia links to the right DO NOT offer these rates.

Camping at the Track:  You may camp at the track.  The cost is $40 per night and covers 24 hour security/in-out privileges and restrooms with showers, as well as electrical and water hookups.  Check the camping option when you register.

Parking:  We are assigning parking for garages, big rig parking and large group (>5 cars) parking.  If you have one of these, let us know when you register.  Garage allocations will be made in March and the rental of a single bay for 1 car for the weekend is $165.  Garage availability will be first-come, first-served based upon the timestamp of all registrations for both the Time Trial and Club Race.  Registration for the Time Trial and Club Race open at the same time to ensure fairness to all.

Fuel:  Various grades of fuel will be available at the track, some by advanced order.  Look for an e-mail regarding fuel after you've registered, sometime in March.

Food:  The track's concession stands will be NOT open.  Instead, we will have a "food truck food court" throughout the weekend from morning until sometime after the track goes cold.  Tickets for a separately catered BBQ dinner Saturday night are available when you register ($20).

Pets:  The Speedway's official policy is that no pets are allowed.

Event Info on your Mobile Phone:  You may sign up for our mobile phone timing and notification system as part of your registration for this event.  Look for the appropriate check box on the registration page and click it to expand that section of the form in order to fill in your preferences.  For more info on our online system, click the thumbnail to the immediate right.

Shirts:  An event commemorative T-shirt as well as men's and women's Polo shirts are available for purchase ($15-$30) if ordered on or before March 24 (design below is indicative and not a representation of the actual 2015 shirts; shirts will include logos of Festival sponsors).

Event requirements


Prior Experience:  Time Trial participants without a PCA Zone 8 Solo Permit or Club Racing License (or approved equivalent) must have completed at least 8 Autocross and/or DE and/or Driving School days or equivalent over the past 24 months, will be considered a Student, and will be issued a Zone 8 Student Log Book ($10).  Drivers who have not driven at prior Festivals or at any prior PCA-SDR driving events please e-mail a list of your past performance driving events covering a 2 year period, with dates, type of event, and name of sponsoring organization to the Registrar at TTRegistrar@CalFestival.org.  All drivers with a Zone 8 Student Log Book will be required to have an Instructor.

You must classify your car using the 2015 Zone 8 Rules before you go on to register for this event.  If you plan to drive a Porsche in the event that was originally produced for the street, you must classify using the following website (even if you wish to run that Porsche in non-competitive X class):  http://zone8.pca.org/CarClass/Default.aspx.  If you had previously determined and entered your class in 2014 or earlier and have made no changes to your car you must still revisit the above website and click through the edit process in order for the site to recalculate properly for 2015.  Note the resulting point totals and class and enter them when you register.  Non-Porsches (which must run in X class), or Porsches not originally produced for street use, must use the following spreadsheet to determine Performance Equipment Points:  http://www.zone8.org/assets/docs/DE_TTSafetyEquipCalculator.xlsx.  Note the Performance Equipment point total and enter it when you register.  You must use the appropriate version of the above for your car BEFORE you click   Continue   below and begin to register as you are required to input the resulting information as part of the registration process.  If you register without doing the above your registration will not be considered complete and you will be placed On Hold.  If you do not complete the above until after a price increase has occurred you will be required to pay the higher price.

Pre-tech is Strongly Encouraged!  Please try to take your car in for service and have it thoroughly inspected between March 23 and April 8 and after your last event prior to the Festival.  With three days at this world-class facility, you will want to be safe and have your car make it through the long weekend.  Plus you'll want to be certain that, before you leave for the track, you and your car have any required safety equipment (Stock and Street Stock coupes generally need no additional safety equipment, but see the Rules link below to be sure that your car qualifies).  All entrants pre-teching must present a tech inspection form with name, address, phone, emergency contact info, car, Zone 8 class, Performance Equipment points, etc. to a qualified tech inspection shop.  The easiest way to generate this form for a Porsche is directly from the classification site listed above.  After entering all info about the car, click on Car Info PDF.  Fill in all fields that are not pre-filled, then print.  Non-Porsches may use the form at:  http://www.CalFestival.org.  Do not use any form other than the one generated by the classification website or the one available at the above link as it will not be accepted and you will need to re-tech at the track.  At the same site are instructions for having a tech fill out their portion of the form:  http://www.CalFestival.org.  Be sure to provide these instructions to your tech.  Incorrectly filled out forms will require reinspection at the track.  Once you have completed pre-tech be sure to bring the original with you to the track when you check-in on-site (put it in your glove box when complete so you don't forget it).  Cars inspected by shops not personally known to the Registrar are subject to random on-site re-inspection.

This is a Zone 8 event and runs under PCA Zone 8 Driving Rules for 2015 which can be found here:  http://www.zone8.org/assets/docs/2015/2015Z8Rules.pdf.  The Time Trial portion of the Festival of Speed is managed by PCA San Diego Region.  Click here for their 2015 schedule of events.

If there are any changes to your registration data after the online registration deadline, you need to notify the Registrar at TTRegistrar@CalFestival.org by the Tuesday prior to the event.

All entrants and guests shall be required to sign the PCA waiver upon registering at the track.  You will not be admitted to the infield unless and until you and all your guests sign.  You are responsible for your guests.

Transponders:  An AMB Transponder is REQUIRED for this event at all times!!!  If you have one, be sure you've entered the number under "My Account; Edit Vehicles".  If you don't have a Transponder, they are available for rent ($45 for the weekend; limited availability) and you must have a Transponder to drive in the Time Trial.  Non-renters with missing Transponder numbers will be considered incomplete registrations and will not have secured a spot in the order registered until the number has been received and acknowledged via e-mail.  Enter your number now under "My Account" before you register!  Participants that require a rental Transponder will now be Waitlisted until a unit becomes available for them.

Please note:  By continuing on to register for this event, and by signing the event insurance waiver at the track, you are agreeing that you understand you are required to reimburse the California Festival of Speed 2015 for any physical damage to the track or its facilities caused by yourself, your crew, or your guests, and that these costs are not covered in your registration fee.

Cancellation Policy:  All cancellations for registrations paid by credit card are subject to the retention of a 5% fee to cover processing costs.  After March 30, 2015 all refund requests are subject to a $100 cancellation fee.  Shirt purchases are non-refundable.  The Registrar must receive the refund request by e-mail by April 7, 2015 at 5:00 pm.  Refund requests will be processed following the event and refunds made by check.  Requests should be directed to:  TTRegistrar@CalFestival.org.
