Driver's Education Information

We look forward to having an extremely fun and safe event. We intend to follow PCA and Intermountain Region PCA guidelines during this event.

The Driver's Education portion of the weekend is based on a non-competitive format. We will not keep track of lap times in Driver's Education.

Required equipment:

A car that can pass tech inspection. Fill out the Tech Guidelines included in your packet and turn it in at the registration table. You are responsible to make sure that your car is safe for high-speed use. If you have any concerns, request Tech help.
Shorts and short sleeved shirts will be acceptable for this event. Cotton is OK. Fire resistant materials are recommended.
Closed toe shoes made of cotton or leather. Socks are required.
Helmets rated Snell M or SA 2000 or newer.
Stock seatbelts are OK but racing belts are encouraged as are roll bars, roll cages and Racing seats etc. 5 and 6 point harnesses can only be used with race seats.
Brake lights must work, steering must not be loose, brakes should feel firm, suspension and wheel bearings should be checked for tightness.
The car's contents must be cleared out prior to entering onto the track. Batteries must be secured.
Numbers on both sides of the car must be a contrasting color to car body and be at least eight inches tall. Taller numbers are recommended at this track.
No Convertibles without Roll Over protection. Porsche Boxsters and 996 & 997 Cabriolets have Factory Roll over protection. Earlier cars must add a Roll Bar or Roll Cage.
At any time, if you feel you need instruction, ask for an instructor. This track can be tricky and has several high-speed turns.

No passengers are allowed except for approved instructors (with identification) and their students.

Be safe on the track and in the pits. The Number One objective of novice drivers on a track should be to become aware of other traffic. Number two objective is to be aware of how your car responds to input.

There will be a “three spins and you're out” rule enforced for this event. If you have more than two spins during the day you will be asked to leave for the day. Following each spin anywhere on or off the track, you will receive a black flag telling you to come into the pits safely to have a chat with the IRPCA member running that group. He will ask you to analyze what happened. If you don't know, you'll be asked to exit the track at that point. If you realize what happened, explain what you could do differently and you’ll be allowed back on the track. Your car will also be given a quick look over for damage.

You will receive a list of the flags and their meaning when you register at the track.

Learn what the flags mean. Pay attention to the flag explanation in the drivers meeting. Also make sure you understand where passing is allowed. Passing at the wrong place or without a signal will result in expulsion.

Pass only on the straights and never in corners. Do not pass without being signaled by the driver that you are going to pass. Slower drivers should indicate your knowledge of cars about to pass you by pointing them past. You will not make friends by holding people up who are faster than you are. Have fun and learn to drive well.

Sincerely,

Otto Silva
IRPCA DE Chair
