Cascade (CSCC) HPDE Track Day June 19th, 2020

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

• Bring your own pen to sign waivers and other paperwork during morning registration. 
• Bring your own face mask to wear at all times when outside of your vehicle. 
• Bring your own PPE and other sanitization needs. 
• A helmet certified as SNELL M2005 (novice school only) or SA2005 or newer is required.
• Long pants and closed-toe shoes are required. We strongly recommend 100% cotton or Nomex clothing: underwear/bra/socks, long-sleeve shirts, long pants; leather shoes and gloves (no nylon inserts).
  • If you have made track driving your hobby, we highly recommend that you invest in Nomex driving attire. Please do your research before buying, as "not all that glitters is gold." 

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, 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).

Per our insurance requirements, all entrants must be 18 years of age or older and show a valid driver's license at registration.

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 Window in Drivers 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
• Roll bar (convertibles)
• Eye protection (convertibles)

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT CONVERTIBLES

Convertibles are defined as cars with retractable tops, whether soft-top or folding hardtop. Convertibles are not allowed to participate in sessions driven at speed without a roll bar and 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). Arm restraints are strongly recommended. The use of a roll bar meeting the minimum requirements is described in CSCC-ConvertibleRollbarRequirements.pdf. Cars equipped with only factory popup posts are not allowed.

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 msr.com, 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.com, but you should treat the pre-authorization as a debit and account for this until the "hold" is dropped by your bank. 

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 cancellation policy, which is:

• No charges will be processed on your account if you cancel 7 or more days before the event date 
• A $50 cancellation 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 

*** PLEASE NOTE that your registration reserves one (1) of a limited number of spots for this event. You will be charged even if you do not participate and you do not cancel prior to the event. 

HPDE Intermediate Requirements

• You must have previously participated in at least two (2) CSCC HPDE Intermediate track days or have attended similar HPDE track days with another organization. 
  • You cannot participate in HPDE Intermediate if you do not have prior on-track experience or have not received classroom instruction on the fundamentals of high performance driving. 
• Are working towards a competition license. 

HPDE Advanced Requirements

• Must have prior approval from a CSCC instructor for participating in HPDE Advanced, or have a verifiable history of solo HPDE track day events within the past two (2) years. 
  • This prior history must be present in your MotorsportReg.com account. Otherwise, you will need to submit this driving history to the event registrar via email. 
• Must understand and obey all flags and CSCC HPDE passing rules. 
  • You will be driving without an instructor and you will be expected to follow all rules and safety communications at all times. 

Race Car Test-and-Tune & Open Wheel Sessions

• You must have a Competition License (ICSCC, SCCA Regional or National, CACC, NASA or FIA).
  • If you are looking to test / shakedown a race car but you do not have a valid race license, then you will need to register in one of the HPDE sessions. 
• You must have a fully prepared race car with all applicable safety equipment in good working condition.
  • A current annual inspection for your vehicle can be accepted for the HPDE/TnT event technical inspection. 
• You must wear full race gear as required by ICSCC. (Fire suit, balaclava, gloves, shoes, Nomex or other approved fire resistant underwear, etc.)
