About this event
Zone 2 returns to VIR on March 13-15, 2009 for its famous 3 day Drivers Ed.
Join us for three fabulous days on the Full Course at Virginia International Raceway. This is a ‘must do’ event for 2009. Last year we attracted drivers from as far away as Chicago and Florida. As with past events, we plan on having a scrumptious Southern style dinner on Saturday. Plenty of time to reunite with old friends and bench race with new ones. Don’t delay, last year the event sold out very quickly.
Event requirements
- Participants must be at least 18 years of age, must have a valid driver’s license, and be a PCA member or member of a Zone 2 approved guest organization. A valid driver’s license and membership card must be presented at registration. Only Porsches or primary marques of any guest organization shall be driven on the track. Zone 2 reserves the right to reject any applicant for any reason.
- Guests are welcome; if under 18 years of age they must remain in spectator areas and are not allowed on the track, in the pits, or on the flagging stations.
- No off-leash pets are permitted.
- No alcoholic beverages may be consumed by anyone (participant or guest) during the event.
- Each participant will drive in one run group only. Exceptions must be approved by the Event Chair.
- All cars must be pre-teched prior to, but no earlier than 4 weeks before the event. Drivers MUST have completed BOTH registration and final car tech PRIOR to the driver’s meeting (approximately 8:00 AM) or they will not be allowed to drive that day.
- Participants must wear a SNELL 00 or later approved helmet. All open car drivers (including Cabriolets & open Targas) must wear face shields or goggles.
- Participants must wear rubber-soled shoes, long pants, and a long sleeved shirt. (Natural, not synthetic fibers)
- Non-participants are not permitted in either student or instructor cars. No student may ride with another student. (Note: Instructors riding in student cars and students riding in instructor cars at reduced speed for instructional purposes is permitted.)
- Harnesses (optional) must include a sub strap and be mounted in a manner consistent with the manufacturer’s recommendations and SCCA requirements. Harnesses may only be used with seats designed to accommodate them.
- Fire extinguishers (optional) must be securely fastened metal-to-metal. (Minimum 2.5 lb., two strap metal bracket is recommended.)
- All open cars, including Cabriolets and Boxsters, must have an approved roll bar mounted at least two inches above the driver’s helmet. This also applies to the passenger side if the car will be used by a student and instructor. (Until an approved after-market solution is found, many Boxsters with taller drivers will not meet the requirement and not qualify for participation.) Roll hoops do not meet track specifications. Roll extensions for Boxsters are available from Brey-Krause.

- There is a mandatory Black Flag pit stop for a spin or “four wheel off” (or worse) occurrence. Two Black flags for these or other driving infractions in a day will result in the termination of driving privileges for remainder of the day.
