Waiver

Anyone entering the facility will need to sign the NASA Waiver. If you did not sign the digital waiver and are not stopped at the gate to sign this, please stop Driver Info to do this prior to the Sat morning Drivers Meeting. NOTE: Minor participants <18 are not given the option for the digital waiver and must sign at Driver Info with a parent or legal guardian.

Driver Info / Registration

• Will be located inside the tan RV (or just outside of it) which will be parked near to the 48' white gooseneck trailer with the "NASA AZ" feather flag on top
• Forgot to print a tech form or track map or something else similar? Look in the small black plastic file cabinet sitting on the Driver Info table labeled "Self Serve Forms", it probably has what you need
• Looking for a printed schedule? There is a small white plastic cabinet sitting on the Driver Info table labeled "Schedules"
• HPDE1 will “check in” with registration. All other groups do NOT need to go to Driver Info. All other groups will receive their "Driver" wristband from their respective Group Leader directly after the Drivers Meeting

Rules

All participants should be aware of the NASA Club Codes & Regulations found here (http://nasaproracing.com/rules/ccr.pdf)

All participants should also be aware of the NASA Arizona region specific Supplemental Rules found here (https://nasaaz.com/nasa-arizona-supplemental-rules/)

Tow Hooks

AZ Local Supplemental Rule: HPDE cars are not absolutely required to have tow hooks, BUT in the event your car needs to be towed and lack of a tow hook makes the tow more difficult, that will be the last time your car is allowed to be on track until you are able to add one. Time Trial cars are required to have front and rear tow hooks to get an Annual Tech.

“What time do I need to show up?”

This is the #1 question we are asked, especially by the folks new to NASA. See the event schedule (below or attached) for exact times but we recommend 30-60 mins prior to the drivers meeting (@ 7:30AM) to allow enough time to find a spot, check in with Driver Info (if you’re HPDE1) and get your car through tech and any other last min items before the drivers meeting.

Tech Inspection

All HPDE cars require an onsite tech inspection prior to being allowed on track. HPDE participants should print and fill out the "HPDE Tech" Form prior to arriving to tech. Forms can be found @ Forms - NASA (drivenasa.com)

Drivers Meetings / Downloads

The Sat AM drivers meeting is mandatory for ALL drivers, instructors, officials/admin. All other meeting times and locations will be announced by your respective Group Leader directly after the drivers meeting.

Flag Knowledge

It is all drivers responsibility to have all flags memorized as this is how our safety flagging officials primarily communicate with you as a driver. If you need a refresher, grab a Flag FAQ sheet from the "Self Serve Forms" file cabinet located at Driver Info. Please note a few details about flags which are specific to NASA Arizona:

• White Flag (waving) - @ S/F for HPDE4 indicating the session will end soon (i.e. last lap or close to it). This is done so that participants who signed up also for Time Trial are not late to Grid for sessions which could be back to back
• Black flag w/ white X - this will be displayed for competition sessions indicating your transponder is no working
• Red flag - follow standard definition to stop but in addition to that we ask that when you stop, you do so on the right side of the track

Rental Helmets

Rental helmets are available @ $20/day which will be available for registered drivers first. Helmet rentals for passengers will be on a 1st come 1st served basis after the Drivers Meeting.

Passengers

Looking to take a passenger along for a ride on track? No problem but there's a few more steps required:

1. Passengers need to be 18 (with photo ID proof of age)

2. Passengers are only allowed in HPDE3, HPDE4 or Time Trial

3. Passengers are required to sign the "Passenger Waiver" (in addition to the general "Gate Waiver")

Transponder Rentals

• Need to be checked out at Driver Info

• Need to be returned to registration within 30 mins of your final session to avoid a late fee

Timing and Scoring

Hardcopy results will be posted on the sign easel at Driver Info. They can also be found online:

• Live time via "Speedhive" mobile app

• Provisional & Official Results @ Results - National Auto Sport Association (drivenasa.com)

Race & TT Classing

All ST & TT competitors are expected to publicly post/declare their classing on the NASA Super Touring website --> Super Touring - National Auto Sport Association (drivenasa.com)
