Event requirements
All participants must be at least 18 years of age and possess a valid driver's license to participate drive on the track or participate in any driving event.
Drivers meeting is MANDATORY!! You must attend the drivers meeting to be able to get on the track!
The car owner must certify that the car is safe to run on the track and a completed Tech Form signed by the driver is to be submitted to the region at the event. We will be doing a spot check at the track before the event.
Tech Sheets are mandatory to get on the track and can be downloaded from the Carrera Region website(https://carreraregionpca.org/event-registration/ ). Once at the Carrera Region website, scroll down and click on the "Tech Sheet" hyperlink. The tech sheet is a self tech please fill out the tech sheet or have a facility tech your vehicle, sign it and bring it with you to the track.
Helmet certifications: Snell 2010 or newer. Motorcycle dot helmets are NOT allowed. A limited number of loaner helmets will be available at the track.
If the participant chooses to install a five, six, or seven point driving harness, several changes to the automobile must be made to create a safe occupant restraint system.
The participant should BE AWARE that the addition of such a seat and harness system results in the occupant being fastened upright in the vehicle. Therefore, in order to have a COMPLETE SYSTEM, a properly padded roll bar or roll cage is recommended, and an approved head and neck restraint device is required. A head and neck restraint device certified as meeting the standards of either SFI 38.1 or FIA 8858 or its successor is required. The use of such a harness system without roll protection and a head and neck restraint device may result in an unsafe environment and is not a COMPLETE SYSTEM. Roll bars or cages and their installation must meet PCA Club Racing Standards. Both the driver and passenger must have the same restraint system, and both the driver and the passenger must use the same restraint system.
Closed-toe shoes are required.
No lug-sole type boots or open toe shoes allowed.
Long sleeve shirt and long pants are suggested and highly encouraged, but NOT required.
