The Las Vegas Region of the Porsche Club of America presents 

Driver Education and Open Track Driving at
Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, Pahrump, NV

September 21 and 22,  2019

 

We are running the original 3.4 mile layout with the bus stop

All car makes are welcome!

Please read this information carefully, as some of our registration and at-track requirements have changed for 2019.

Our events focus on Safety, Education and Fun. We have a great group of PCA Nationally Trained Instructors available to you in all Run Groups.        

Our events feature 30-minute driving sessions.

We are offering our HPDE Ground/Track School at no additional charge!  The Ground School is open to ALL first time track drivers.

See the Las Vegas Region Porsche Club of America Web Site for full details of the event at http://lasvegaspca.com/drivered.htm

Very Important: Please fill out your MotorsportReg.com profile with past experience and emergency contact information.

We run rain or shine.

Registration Fees for this event are:

  • Saturday Only:  $300
  • Sunday Only:    $300
  • Both Days:        $450

REMINDER: Registration closes one week before the event, 9/15/2019. There will be no registration or fee payment at the track.

You MUST register as a STUDENT if you have never had formal racetrack oriented driving instruction, such as a two or three day paid performance driving school at Ron Fellows, Skip Barber, Bob Bondurant, or equivalent academy, or a formal two day HPDE ground/track school with the Porsche Club of America, Audi Club, BMW Club, or equivalent. If you are not sure you have met this criteria, our safe, informative, and exciting performance ground/track school is waiting for you at no additional charge! Please proceed through the registration process as a "Student." Students must register for at least Saturday only or Saturday and Sunday, no Sunday only. Two Students cannot share a single car for the ground school. A Student cannot share a car with a driver registered in a regular run group.

Registering as a student is easy:
This season, in order to make sure we have an instructor to work with each registered student, we are changing
the way we register and confirm students for our events. Please read the following carefully:

When registering as a student, you will automatically be placed on a wait list, Your status in your MotorsportReg dashboard will be labeled as “on hold.” As qualified instructors register for the event, we will change your status to “confirmed” and send you an email saying you have been confirmed for the event’s Ground/Track school. Please make sure to monitor your email and MotorsportReg dashboard in the last three weeks before the event, to keep tabs on your status. We will charge your credit card when you register, but you will receive a prompt refund in the unlikely event you are not confirmed.

These spots will be available on a first-come-first-served basis according to day and time we receive your registration, and dependent on the number of instructors available. Be sure to register early to be assured of getting a spot.

INSTRUCTORS:
If you are a PCA Nationally Trained Instructor and want to teach, please contact Brian Schmidt
(bschmidt47@cox.net) before registering. We will be confirming students for the ground school only when we have a registered instructor for that student. Please, if you know you’re coming to the event and will instruct, sign up early so we can inform students early they are accepted into the Ground School.

Sell Outs:
These events have become very popular the last few seasons and many have sold out. We also limit the number of cars in each run group for a better driver experience.  Your spot in a run group will be determined by your registration date and time.

Guest Driver/Student Waiver Policy:
If you have not previously attended one of our track events, you are considered a Student unless you have completed our Saturday Ground School or have run two clean events with us. For experienced intermediate and advanced drivers, this requirement may be waived. In order to obtain the Student Waiver, experienced drivers must have significant, appropriate experience, and be endorsed by other track organizations or PCA regions.

By "significant" we mean more than a few events,

By "appropriate" we mean that such experienced drivers must be able to function in a Driver's Education (as opposed to racing) environment where drivers are given lots of room, passing is via "point-bys", courteous driving is expected and risky behavior is not tolerated.

By "endorsed" we mean that an official from the other driving organization(s) must be able to provide their opinion of your safe behavior on the track and ability to follow event protocol.

If you feel you are a good candidate for a Student Waiver, please do the following:
A) Update your driving experience resume in your Motorsportsreg profile. Be as detailed as possible to give us a good initial review of your track driving experience.

B) Contact Brad Zucroff (at bradzoo@mac.com) indicating that you want to request a Student Waiver. If you are a PCA Nationally Trained Instructor, please indicate so. If you have a valid competition license, please indicate this and be prepared to provide evidence prior to registration.

C) If requested, have an official from the other driving organization (as similar to PCA as possible) provide information about your driving experience and their endorsement of your safe behavior on the track and ability to follow event protocol.

Your request and supporting information will be reviewed by us and we will inform you whether your Student requirement has been waived.  LVR reserves the right to send an instructor with a driver for a check-out ride in order to validate the information.

 

 

Event requirements

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

1. New safety equipment for 2019 HPDE: Head and neck restraints are required for all drivers and passengers in harness-equipped vehicles. This change has been required by a directive from PCA National for 2019.

Head and neck restraints are required for all five or six point harnesses. Also, the same type of restraint system is required for both driver and passenger. Harnesses are required to be SFI or FIA approved for competition and mounted in the manufacturer's approved configuration. Any harness approved for PCA Club Racing is acceptable when installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Evidence of this approval must be provided by the driver, if necessary. We will be checking expiration dates on harness systems at Tech Review.

If you are running stock/DOT approved 3-point restraint system (stock seat belts) additional head and neck restraints are not required. LVR will not rent/provide head and neck restraint systems. Participants must provide their own systems if required.

2. Gates open at 6:30 a.m.  The Mandatory Drivers Meeting is at 7:45 a.m. Instructor's meeting is at 7:30 a.m.

3. All entrants must be 18 years of age and possess a valid state, province or country Driver's License. Be sure to bring it with you to registration check-in. We will be checking them.

4. All car occupants must wear a Snell approved SA rated helmet of 2010 rating or newer.  Students in the Yellow Group may wear a Snell M rated helmet.

Helmet Rentals will not be available at the track.

5. We no longer rent transponders.

6. Clothing: Full-length pants, long sleeve shirts. Shoes must be enclosed, non-slip, with a relatively smooth sole. Hiking type deep lugged soles are not acceptable. No short pants allowed. Clothing must be of natural fibers, no synthetics except approved fire resistant material. If the weather is very hot, we MAY declare a "hot day" and allow short sleeves, but don't count on it. Bring long sleeved shirts.

7. All convertibles and “open” cars must have roll bars unless equipped with factory rollover protection, such as Porsche Boxsters and newer Carrera Cabriolets. Convertibles must run with the top closed - this includes T-tops, Targa tops and sunroofs. Faceshields or protective goggles are required in all open cars and cars without a windshield.

8. Arm restraints are required for all open top cars.

9. If you will have an instructor riding with you at any time, your car must have the same restraint system for both driver and passenger.

10. Occupants must wear a SFI or FIA approved fire resistant driving suit that conforms to PCA Club Racing rules in cars that are race prepped or have had the interior removed. See PCA Zone 8 Rule Book for suit specifications.

11. The Drivers Meeting is MANDATORY for all drivers.  Critical topics will be discussed including Flags, Passing Rules and Track Entry/Exit.

12. A Tech Review Form will be required to be completed prior to the event and brought with you to the track to present to Tech Review.   Technical Review Form 2019.pdf

We look forward to seeing you there!
