CLASSROOM SESSIONS: All participants are required to attend the classroom session to learn about vehicle dynamics and advanced driving techniques. Failure to attend as required will result in loss of driving privileges.
APPROVED VEHICLES: Only vehicles suitable for aggressive maneuvers will be allowed. All registered street legal MINI Cooper and Cooper S passenger cars are approved. Race-prepared MINIs will be permitted at the discretion of the event chairperson. Other vehicles such as other cars, trucks, SUVs, or other tall or high center of gravity vehicles will only be allowed at the discretion of the event chairperson.
VEHICLE TECH INSPECTION: It is not required, but strongly recommended that all vehicles be safety inspected by a qualified individual/mechanic prior to the event. This inspection should occur within three weeks prior to the event. Each entrant/driver is solely responsible for insuring that his/her vehicle is safe prior to arriving at the event. Failure of any vehicle to pass an on-site safety check will disqualify its driver(s) from participation in the event and your entry fee will be forfeited.
