Due to insurance limitations for our track events, all drivers must be sixteen (16) years of age or older. Minors will require both legal parent/guardian waivers.

No passengers allowed except for approved CSCC HPDE instructors. Only CSCC HPDE instructors are allowed to take approved passengers during the instructor track sessions. (All passengers must sign the required track waivers.)

HPDE Track Day Requirements

Safety is our primary concern. Cars and personal safety equipment will be inspected on the day of the event prior to being allowed on track. This inspection and roll bar acceptance is not a certification of a car’s safety or its ability to withstand the stress of this driving event. You are fully responsible for finding and remedying any safety issues prior to the event.

PERSONAL SAFETY

A helmet certified as SNELL SA2015 or newer is required. We have a limited quantity of helmets available to rent.
Closed-toe shoes are required.
We strongly recommend 100% cotton clothing. For race-cars in HPDE or highly modified vehicles, we strongly recommend nomex/fire resistant clothing: underwear/bra/socks, long-sleeve shirts, long pants; leather shoes and gloves.
Test and Tune drivers are required to run full safety gear

SOUND LIMIT POLICY

Portland International Raceway has a strict sound limit of under 103 dBA recorded trackside from 9 AM until the end of the scheduled HPDE event day (5 PM). The sound limit prior to 9 AM is under 90 dBA. Any vehicle on track that exceeds the limit is black flagged (taken off the track) and given one chance to make modifications or repairs to be below the limit. A second violation will mean a car will be removed from the event for the rest of the day. (For Test-and-Tune racecars and drivers participating in the weekend's club racing: The vehicle in violation must re-tech the following day showing what was done to remedy the violation, pass tech, and be re-checked on course via the sound monitor. If the vehicle fails again, it is disqualified from the entire event.)

VEHICLE SAFETY

You will bring and use your own vehicle. It may be a daily-driver, modified street car, or fully-prepped racecar. It must be in good condition, free of leaks or safety issues, with fully-functioning seat belts (for driver and instructor, and must be the same level & quality for both), and plenty of brakes and tire tread. We also recommend installing at least a partial roll cage in your car (but this is not a requirement for HPDE).

It is the participants responsibility to ensure that their car is in satisfactory condition, especially all safety equipment, for the rigors of high performance driving on a racetrack.

Per our insurance requirements, all entrants must be 16 years of age or older and show a valid driver's license at registration. Minors require both parental guardian signed waivers.

The following are the vehicle items that are covered in the event technical inspection:

Adequate tire tread
Proper tire inflation
Loose items removed
No cracks in windshield in the driver's view
Seat belts in good condition and working order
Driver and passenger seats secure
Brake lights functional
Ensure the positive terminal on the battery is properly covered
The battery needs to be mechanically secured to the car

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT CONVERTIBLES

Convertibles are defined as cars with retractable tops, whether soft-top or folding hardtop.

Only specific convertibles / roadsters with factory installed rollover protection are allowed without modification
Convertibles without factory installed rollover protection are not allowed to participate in sessions driven at speed without a roll bar. A 5- or 6-point harness for each occupant (which also implies seats that allow for proper mounting and routing of the 5- or 6-point harness) is strongly encouraged. Vehicles with instructors require equal safety gear as the driver.
Arm restraints are strongly recommended for for any vehicle without a hard top
Arm restraints are required for open cockpit street legal vehicles (Caterhams, Ariel Atoms in particular)
For a list of approved convertibles and roadsters as well as rollbar requirements, please see CSCC-ConvertibleRollbarRequirements.pdf.

Cars with factory-installed, fixed rollover protection or removable roof sections (including Targa tops and T-tops) may be allowed only if the both the driver and passenger are within the protection of the Helmet Reference Plane described in section A.1 in CSCC-ConvertibleRollbarRequirements.pdf.

PAYMENT

This online registration process uses a "deferred payment" process. Your credit card will not be charged until the week prior to the event. A pre-authorization check is done electronically to confirm validity and capacity of your account by MotorsportReg.com (MSR), much like a hotel might do. The pre-authorization should fall off your account within 24-72 hours depending on your bank card's practices. DEBIT CARD USERS, you can use your card on MSR, but you should treat the pre-authorization as a debit and account for this until the "hold" is dropped by your bank.

Cancelation requests sent through MSR must be acknowledged by the CSCC HPDE event registrar to ensure any eligible refunds are applied to your method of payment. Note that your registration is reserving one (1) of a limited number of spots for this event. As such, you must be aware of our cancelation policy, which is:

No charges will be processed on your account if you cancel 7 or more days before the event date
A $50 late cancelation fee will be charged if you cancel 2 to 6 days before the event
You will be charged the full amount if you cancel less than 48 hours before the event or are a no show
