PCA-SDR Time Trial – Chuckwalla CW Double Points

NOTE:  If you have a Porsche, before continuing on to register you MUST first enter your car on the Zone 8 car classification website to determine your 2021 car class.  Even if you have previously classified your car in 2020, the rules have changed for 2021, and thus you must go to the above website, edit your car, re-examine all questions and answers, and click all the way through until you see and click on Finished to determine your proper 2021 class.  Special note for those running in SS classes:  You must now attest to your SS classification on the Zone 8 car classification website.  You will need this info in order to register on the next page.  More information on how to do this is below.

Prior Experience:  Time Trial participants without a Zone 8 Solo Permit (or approved equivalent) must have completed at least 8 Autocross and/or DE and/or Driving School days or equivalent over the past 24 months (minimum age of 18 years, valid state driver's license, and good mental and physical health also required). If you are not a novice and you meet the event-day requirement above but would otherwise be seeking to participate in an intermediate/advanced DE-type of event, sign up for the Time Trial instead.  Competitive Timed Runs are optional within the Time Trial, though all Time Trialers must have an AMB/MYLAPS Transponder on their car during practice regardless.

All uncredentialed drivers are considered to be Students and will be required to have an Instructor.  Also please note that there are clothing requirements and an approved Snell helmet is required.  Please contact the Registrar at least 2 weeks prior to the event for information on helmet rental if needed.  Experienced drivers new to SDR track events may also be required to have an Instructor until their competency has been demonstrated.

There will be a MANDATORY Zoom classroom session for all drivers wanting to participate in the DE School.  It will be held on Wednesday xxx xxx, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

TT'ers with qualifying credentials:  no charge for Solo Permits!!!  TT Students without Zone 8 Student Log Books: please check the appropriate box to order one when you register.

You must classify your car using the 2021 Zone 8 Rules before you go on to register for this event.  If you plan to drive a Porsche in the event that was originally produced for the street, you must classify using the following website (even if you wish to run that Porsche in non-competitive X class): http://zone8.pca.org/CarClass/Default.aspx.  If you had previously determined and entered your class in 2020 or earlier and have made no changes to your car you must still revisit the above website and click through the edit process in order for the site to recalculate properly for 2021.  Note the resulting point totals and class and enter them when you register.

Non-Porsches (which must run in X class), or Porsches not originally produced for street use, must use the following spreadsheet to determine Performance Equipment Points:http://www.zone8.org/assets/docs/DE_TTSafetyEquipCalculator.xlsx.  Note the Performance Equipment point total and enter it when you register.

You must use the appropriate version of the above for your car BEFORE you click   Continue   below and begin to register as you are required to input the resulting information as part of the registration process.  If you register without doing the above your registration will not be considered complete and you will be placed On Hold.  If you do not complete the above until after a price increase has occurred you will be required to pay the higher price.  Additionally, we reserve the right to accept others whose registrations are complete while you are On Hold, which could land you on the Waitlist once your hold is resolved.  Bottom line: follow the above instructions in the proper order to maximize your chances of participating!

NOTE:  To help us process your event registration and car classification more efficiently, please update all of your cars in your Zone 8 classification profile.

Pre-tech is MANDATORY!  Take your car to an approved shop to have it inspected prior to this event.  With two full days of our high track time event in the low desert, you will want to be safe and have your car make it through the weekend.  Plus you'll want to be certain that, before you leave for the track, you and your car have any required safety equipment (Stock and Street Stock coupes generally need no additional safety equipment, but see the Rules link below to be sure that you qualify).  All entrants pre-teching must present a current Tech Inspection Form with name, address, phone, car, class, etc. to a qualified tech inspection shop.  The form can be found at: Current Tech Form.  The tech form must have a date in the lower right corner of at least Nov 23, 2020.  Do not use any older form as only the most recent form will be accepted and if you send the wrong form you will need to re-tech and resend your form.  Better yet, use our automated tech form printer, available after you classify your car on the Zone 8 classification site (see above paragraph).  Cars inspected by shops not personally known to the Registrar are subject to random on-site re-inspection.  If you do not properly pre-tech, you will be required to pass an on-site tech inspection at the track at an additional fee of $75.  ALL TECH SHEETS MUST BE EMAILED TO THE REGISTRAR (techsheets@pcasdr.org) NO LATER THAN 8 PM March 26th, 2021.  A $50 LATE FEE WILL APPLY FOR TECH SHEETS THAT COME IN AFTER THAT DATE.  TECH AT THE TRACK WILL BE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY WITH THE TECH INSPECTION CHAIR AND IS SUBJECT TO A $75 FEE.  TO START THE PROCESS SELECT THE ON-SITE TECH INSPECTION CHECKBOX.  

This is a Zone 8 event and it will run under PCA Zone 8 Driving Rules for 2021 which can be found here: Zone 8 Driving Event Rules

If there are any changes to your registration data after the online registration deadline, you need to notify the Registrar by the day of the event BEFORE the first run session.  If you know you will have a change after you sign-up, it is greatly appreciated if the information can be provided to the Registrar by the Saturday prior to the event.  Doing this will save you time at the track.

All entrants and guests shall be required to complete a SpeedWaiver on a mobile device that has a camera and has internet access.  This is in addition to any waiver that the track itself may require you to sign.  You are responsible for your guests and may be asked to leave the event if your guests are found to have not signed the PCA SpeedWaiver.  PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP ON THIS PAGE AS A GUEST.  All guests must check in to get a wrist band.  Click (SpeedWaiver) to learn more about the SpeedWaiver privacy policy.

The track may charge its own separate nominal entrance fee.  This fee does not go to PCA-SDR and is beyond our control.

Transponders: If you have an AMB/MYLAPS Transponder, be sure you've entered the number under "My Account."  (Hint: you do this where you edit your vehicle information.)  Enter your transponder number into the field titled “Transponder Number”.  If you don't have a Transponder, they are available for rent.  You must have a qualifying Transponder to drive in the Time Trial.  Alternatively you may borrow one from someone who is NOT participating in the event or purchase your own.  If you utilize one of these alternatives you must provide the serial number (transponder number) by one week prior to the event.  Usage of only a single Transponder is preferred for those sharing a car.  Transponder is not required for DE registrants.

Cancellation Policy: In the event of a driver’s cancellation within 2 weeks of an event, the Club reserves the right to retain a percentage of the driver’s base registration fee if the Club, in its sole discretion, determines that weather forecasts from any source may have had an adverse impact on registered driver cancellations (regardless of the stated reason for any cancellation).  In such cases, the Club will retain only that percentage of the driver’s base registration fee necessary so that the Club at most breaks even for that event.  Translation: If there’s no rain or extreme heat/cold in the forecast at any time during the 2 weeks prior to an event, you may cancel in writing at any time for any reason up to the time the green flag drops.  If there is rain or extreme heat/cold in the forecast and you cancel during this time, the Club may keep some of your base registration fee, but only enough so that the Club does not lose money on the event.  If other non-cancelled drivers put the Club in the black for that event, you will not be charged for cancelling.
