NASA SoCal extends our deepest respects to fallen Firefighter Carlos Ramirez Jr. and the entire Advanced Fire and Rescue family.

Carlos was a dedicated safety professional with Advanced Fire and supported numerous events to ensure track safety. His commitment to protecting others and his willingness to serve will not be forgotten. Dedication to his profession and genuine compassion defined both his work and his character.

Our heartfelt condolences go to the Ramirez family, his friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. This loss is profound, and Carlos will always remain part of the NASA SoCal racing community.

A GoFundMe has been established to support the family during this difficult time and will be shared below. We encourage members of the track community to contribute if they are able. Your support is sincerely appreciated.

With respect,

NASA SoCal

Looking for discounts on driver and NASA gear? Go to the NASA online gear store! NASA offers significant discounts to our members for ALL disciplines - HPDE, TT and Racing!

HPDE / TT INFORMATION:

All HPDE classes (1-4) on Saturday and Sunday.

ALL participants in the TT run group are REQUIRED to have a transponder.

If you have not participated in NASA SoCal HPDE4/TT within the last two years and do not have a valid NASA Competition racing or TT license, you MUST e-mail socal@drivenasa.com for screening and approval.

DIGITAL WAIVER:

NASA has moved to a digital waiver system that is required for ALL participants. Upon registering for an event, a text message will be sent to the mobile number configured in your account. Please follow the instructions and sign the digital waiver as soon as you get the text message. There is no need to wait until the day of the event - it can be done immediately. Failure to complete the digital waiver will delay your ability to get on track with your run group. Please make certain the number (1-707-210-0445) is not blocked on your device. We also use this number for keeping drivers updated during the event.

PLEASE NOTE TRANSPONDER RENTAL POLICY: Unfortunately, due to 25% of rented transponders not being returned, we have been forced to implement a $50 penalty on transponders that are not returned to Registration on Sunday, 30 minutes after the last session. On Monday morning, anyone who has a missing transponder will be charged $100 to their credit card on file. If the transponder is not returned to NASA SoCal (see Contacts page for address) by the Wednesday after the event, a replacement fee of $500 will be charged.

Also please note that transponders are not rented to HPDE1 and 2 groups as they are not timed but are REQUIRED in TT and the race groups. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
