Some updates on the DRSCCA/WHRRI Weekend:
- FRIDAY PRACTICE: Contact the Track Rental agent, Dave Hinman at (248) 202-9186, rental@waterfordhills.com, about the test day scheduled for Friday, May 26. This day is not sanctioned by the SCCA or Detroit Region SCCA.

PADDOCK RULES: Please be respectful of each other and others in the paddock. Paddock speed limit is 5 mph and will be enforced. Space in the paddock is limited, so everyone will need to do their best to share space and follow the paddock map in order to best serve all racers. It is recommended to share paddock space and resources so everyone can benefit. Waterford Hills maintains reserved spots in the paddock, and a map is at: http://www.waterfordhills.com/data/downloads/2021-Paddock-Space-Map.pdf
WHRRI uses reserved Paddock space valid for WHRRI club race weekends, defined as Friday 10am through Sunday 6pm. Every attempt will be made to free up unused reserved spaces and communicate un-reserved paddock spaces for our SCCA guests. The reserved paddock listing will be available at the Timing and Scoring bulletin board. An updated list of open spaces for each weekend will be posted on the same board on Friday around 10 am to assist guests in finding available paddock spaces.
Entrants will be limited to 1 support vehicle for this weekend. No bicycles, skateboards, or other pit vehicles are allowed on the Oakland County Sportsman’s Club grounds. All vehicles within the paddock must display an event vehicle decal and be within their designated paddock area or they will be required to be moved outside the paddock.
-
CAR ELIGIBILITY: Competition is open to all cars conforming to the GCR, as amended in the event class list below, to those supplemental classes listed in the 2023 Great Lakes Division Regional Series Rules. All cars are required to use a fully operational AMB TranX260 transponder. The location of the transponder tester is the tech inspection area, and it will be staffed the same hours as the scales. The driver is responsible for providing correct information to Timing & Scoring. Transponders are available to rent from WHRRI, if necessary, for a $50 fee.
SPEC RENAULT: The WHRRI Rules for Spec Renault can be found here: http://www.waterfordhills.com/data/downloads/2023-whrri-rules-and-regs_approved.pdf
2022 T1 Classed Car Eligibility: Cars meeting the 2022 SCCA GCR 9.1.9.1 eligibility requirements for T1 will be allowed to compete in the 2023 T1 Class. Each competitor must carry a copy of the 2022 GCR and maintain full compliance.
