Driver Requirements:
- This event is open to drivers who have been approved for solo driving. Solo driving criteria is at http://www.trackjunkies.ca/solo-driving-requirements/. The program for this specific event does not allow for either novice instruction, or checkout rides for novice track drivers. Therefore this event is not open to drivers who have not been approved for solo driving.
Vehicle Requirements:
- PERMITTED VEHICLES include track-worthy and safe sportscars only. Trucks, Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs), and Sport Activity Vehicles (SAVs) are NOT permitted without prior approval. Convertibles, cabriolets, and open-top cars must have structural rollover protection ... if you do not know what this means, please contact us BEFORE registering.
- Vehicle technical INSPECTION completed in advance of the event. Inspection for can be found at www.trackjunkies.ca/self-tech.pdf. We strongly recommend having the vehicle inspected by a licensed Automotive Service Technician with knowledge of the rigors expected in road course driving.
- BRAKE FLUID must be less than six months old as of the event date. Please note that the energy required to stop a vehicle at speed must be dissipated as heat. Repeated application of the brakes on a road course will cause a significant heat buildup. This heat can cause a number of underlying mechanical problems to become apparent, in particular that water absorbed into aging brake fluid will boil (referred to as "boiling the brakes"). Should this happen, there will be enough steam in the brake lines to cause a SUDDEN AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. This is prevented when there is fresh brake fluid in the reservoir, lines and calipers.
- HELMET: Snell-approved M-2005 (motorcycle) or SA-2005 (motorsport) or newer helmets are permitted in all run groups. ALL Snell-approved helmets bear a Snell rating sticker, typically found by lifting up the helmet liner (you should not need to remove any glued portions of the liner to view the sticker). Open-face helmets are preferred in vehicles with air bags; closed-face helmets are preferred in vehicles without air bags.
- CLOTHING: Shirts with long sleeves and long pants are strongly recommended. Clothing should be comfortable without restricting movement. Natural fibers (i.e. cotton) are preferred. Smooth, rubber-soled shoes are recommended. A thinner sole is preferred as this will enhance pedal feedback and feel. Leather-soled shoes are not recommended. Open-toed shoes are not permitted.
- EVENT WILL GO RAIN OR SHINE … please be prepared. No refunds for inclimate weather.
- Additional Requirements For Optional Private Coaching Session With Ross - Optional ‘Private session with Ross & Jeff’ participants who may wish to have Ross ride in their car must have a passenger seat equipped with equal restraints for passenger and driver. Ross has the opportunity to decline getting in any car for safety reasons, real or perceived, and no refund will be given.
