About this event
Join us on Monday, June 29, 2015 for the 2015 Fastrack Autobody Track Day #2 at The Ridge Motorsports Park hosted by VCMC Motorsport Club. The Ridge Motorsports Park is a 3.98km road course with 16 turns and a change in elevation of more than 300 feet from start to finish.
VCMC, in partnership with Fastrack Autobody, continues to offer great value to track day participants by providing tons of seat time, instruction for novices, catered lunch, and professional track marshals to keep the event safe, fun, and efficient.
Our track events are open to drivers of various experience levels. Drivers are grouped by experience to ensure that all the drivers and vehicles in each session are evenly matched. First timers and new novices attend an orientation session at the start of the day and are accompanied by senior drivers on reconnaissance laps until they are ready to drive solo. We cap our lapping day entries so that group sizes remain manageable and everyone gets plenty of track time.

Novices
In addition to the requirements in the regulations, all solo drivers must have some previous performance driving experience (e.g. autocross, time trials, lapping, performance driving school, etc.). Instruction will be available for first-timers and novices not yet signed off to drive solo. Novices must attend the classroom session which will be held at the Raceway on the morning of the event. The classroom session covers the rules of a track day event, safety concerns, passing rules and mental preparation for track driving. Novices are not allowed to carry passengers except for an instructor. A novice is defined as a driver who has participated in 3 or fewer track days.
Experienced Drivers
Please describe your high performance driving experience under your Motorsportsreg.com Driver Information Profile.
Vehicle Requirements
Vehicles must undergo a compliance check at the track before being permitted to run. This is not a full mechanical inspection. It is ultimately the driver's responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is safe and meets all of the requirements.
Convertibles, including those with mechanically retractable hard tops, may participate at the track day provided that it has, at a minimum, factory roll hoops (such as those found in the 3rd gen Miata and S2000) or other forms of roll over protection. CACC, SCCA, and/or NASA approved roll over protection are highly recommended.
