Advanced Car Control Clinic - May 4, 2013 requirements on May 4, 2013 (356338) | MotorsportReg.com

 

Because space is limited, registration must be made in advance by filling out and submitting an on-line application. Each driver must register separately in their own name and have their own Motorsportreg.com account. Registration includes lunch. Only on-line credit card payment or electronic check will be accepted. You may not register at the event. The roster will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

We do not allow any SUVs at the Advanced Car Control Clinic due to their high center of gravity. Convertibles are allowed at the clinic. If there is a question about the appropriateness of your vehicle, please contact us at carcontrol@ggcbmwcca.org.

Helmets are required for the advanced clinic. Your helmet must meet the club’s helmet standards and will be inspected at check-in. The helmet must be certified as Snell M2010 or SA2010 (M2005 and SA2005 are also acceptable).  A limited number of club loaner helmets will be available at the event.

If you are planning to buy a helmet, be sure to look for Snell certification, which is indicated by a special sticker inside the helmet. The sticker may sometimes be hidden under the helmet lining. Be aware that there are some "DOT Approved" helmets without a Snell certification - these do not meet the club's safety requirements.  A limited number of "leftover" Snell M2005 and SA2005 certified helmets may still be on the market at clearance prices. These helmets certified to the 2005 standards will be useable with most motorsports organizations until about 2015. We strongly recommend purchasing a helmet in-store instead of online, as proper sizing and fit is very important and you really need to try the helmet on.

Snell stickers look like this (see http://www.smf.org/cert for additional information):
 

Please review the Car Control Clinic Overview. The Car Control Clinic or equivalent experience is a prerequisite, so please be sure you are familiar with the information in the overview.  Please read before registering. Please also see the FAQs.

The CCC overview forms (tech inspection and waivers), glossary and FAQ are directly applicable to the Advanced CCC. The exercises will be different, but a review of the content is appropriate, as the exercises will include many of the same elements -- perhaps in more complicated configurations. The schedule and the exercise specifics will be different. Additional required reading will be distributed to registered students prior to the event. This material will cover the schedule, the exercises, along with important background information on vehicle dynamics and driving techniques.

 

Each participant must have their own motorsportreg.com account and register under their own name. Registering for someone else under your name will result in the registration being cancelled.
