This event is open to EVERYONE. You don't have to be a member to join us.

Drive your own car on the track. You don't have to have a Ferrari to join us.
Note: Convertible cars without factory fitted rollover systems are excluded for this event unless a four-point structural roll bar that meets SCCA GCR guidelines for Solo 1, has been installed. Trucks and SUVs are also excluded.
Factory fitted rollover systems including pop-up systems, such as those on the M3 convertible, Mini Cooper, Boxster, Carrera TT, S2000, Audi TT, 350Z, Z4, Z8, etc. are allowed. Other examples of cars with acceptable factory installed rollover protection include: 308/328 GTS, 348 TS etc. with “targa” style roof and 360/430/458 convertibles with factory installed roll bars behind the seats.
All factory fitted systems must meet the “broom handle test” which measures whether the head, and helmet fit below a line formed from the top of the rollover bar to the top of the windshield. All pop-up hoops must be in the up position before going on track (please contact your dealership to trigger the system).
You will be required to have your car examined by a reputable service station / dealer using our Tech Inspection form not more than 30 days prior to the track event.
If you have a Ferrari, your tech inspection form should be filled out by certified Ferrari dealership or independent Ferrari Service Center.
