Event requirements

Please verify that you meet at least one of the following conditions before you register for this event:
1) You will be driving a Porsche
2) You are a guest of a PCA member AND you have been granted permission to register by the Autocross Chair (autocross@pca-ggr.com)
3) You are a PCA member and have brought your Porsche to a GGR autocross event in the last 12 months

Do not register unless you meet at least one of the above conditions.  Refunds for erroneous registrations are at the discretion of the Autocross Chair.

Multi-driver cars (sharing a car with another driver) are allowed, but each driver must register separately.

ALL drivers, including on-line registrations, MUST CHECK-IN at the registration desk before 8:30 am.  This is where you will select your run group, sign up for your worker position, and receive your registration sticker.  Put the registration sticker on your windshield.  Cars without a registration sticker are not allowed to run.

ALL drivers MUST WORK at an assigned worker position.  Dress appropriately for standing outside in the weather, which can include rain.

HELMETS ARE REQUIRED with a 2005 or newer Snell certification.  Loaner helmets are NOT available.

CARS WILL BE TECH INSPECTED IN THE PADDOCK before the drivers meeting.  Cars must be mechanically sound, in good running condition with no major leaks, and the interior must be empty of anything that could fly about during the event.  After you have checked in with registration, put your registration sticker on your windshield and prep your car for tech.  Put your helmet on one of the front seats and open all hoods and trunks.  That is the universal signal that your car is ready for a tech inspection by the roving tech inspectors.  If you pass inspection, the tech inspector will close the hoods and put a colored-dot sticker on your windshield.
