Advanced Driver & Instructor Clinic at Laguna Seca requirements on Mar 16, 2012 (731168) | MotorsportReg.com

Introduction:

All registrants must be 18 years of age or older, have a current drivers license, and be a current member of the Audi Club North America as of the date of the event. If you are not a member, or if your membership has expired, renewal memberships can be purchased during the registration process.

Helmets are required and must be rated according to the Snell Association as SA 2005, MA 2005 or newer. If you do not own a helmet, they can be rented when you register. ACGG offers choices from over 30 open and full face Bell helmets which were purchased new in 2009. 

ACNA does not allow convertible automobiles unless they have an approved 4 point roll bar. See information on website wiki.   ACGG also does not allow participation with pick up trucks, SUVs, or open wheel cars.  We cannot accept registrations for these vehicle types.  ACGG does not allow fully race prepared cars for it's events.  All cars must have seats for both driver and passenger.

All cars must must pass technical inspection and each car must provide equal types of restraints for the passenger and driver.  If you have installed a (4pt, 5pt or 6pt) harness for the driver, you must also have this same level of restraint installed and usable by the right seat passenger.

Laguna Seca has a maximum noise level of 92 decibels. While almost all stock cars with factory mufflers  pass this maximum noise level the responsibility of compliance is up to the owners. No refunds will be given if your car exceeds the noise level.

Qualifications for this event:

Here is the fine print about who qualifies for this event. All student drivers (C/D) must have been solo'd at a previous ACGG event and driven at the C or D level. Additionally these drivers must have received positive evaluations from previous instructors. There will be very limited instruction available at this event.  If you have not been solo'd at  a C level at an ACGG event you will not qualify to attend. If you have questions about your eligibility for the event contact gordon@audiclubgoldengate.org PRIOR to registering for the event. Instructors must have instructed at an Audi Club Golden Gate event within the past two years and have experience at Laguna Seca Raceway.

Instructor Candidates:  Those that are interested in becoming instructors for the Audi Club MUST contact Terry Geiser (the Chief Instructor for the club) by email at terry@audiclubgoldengate.org or the chief instructor for the event paul@audiclubgoldengate.org prior to registering. To insure that we will deliver the highest quality of instruction, we are limiting the number of "Instructor Candidates" to a maximum of 8 individuals. Again, if you are interested in becoming an instructor, and you wish to attend this event as an instructor candidate, you must be pre-approved for the instructor training prior to registering for the event.

Instructors: 8 instructors will also be needed to assist in the instructor candidate training. Both the instructor candidates and the Instructors who assist in the training will receive a $100 credit towards the AudiTron event in May at Thunderhill Raceway. Both the candidates and the those instructors that will be assisting with event will be participating in activities that are focused on the certification and assessment of the instructor candidates, and as this is their primary focus for the day, they may not be able to take advantage of all of the sessions for their run group, which may cause them to lose some time on the track for open lapping. If you are interested in particpating as an instructor to assist in the training portion of the day, please select "Instructor Coach" as an option during the registration process.

We expect to see many instructors sign up as coaches for this event, so of those instructors that submit their names as being willing to coach during this event, the Chief Instructor will choose the best candidates for this role, and all who submitted their names will be notified by the Event Master or Chief Instructor as soon as the registrations are finalized.
