Event requirements
Age Requirement:
All participants must be 18 years of age or older.
Helmets:
Helmets must be Snell 2000 or later. Either SA or M specification ratings are acceptable.
Driver/Passenger Restraints:
Cars must have equal restraints for both driver and passenger.
Open Top Cars:
The only open top cars allowed in the event are those with full roll cages (no cars with just roll bars) and race seats for both driver and passenger. Minimum 5 point restraint systems, installed to the manufacturer¹s specifications, must be available for use by both the driver and passenger.
All occupants of open top cars must wear arm restraints. * Be sure to bring an extra set if you want to give your student(s) a ride.
To be approved for the event all open top cars must have a log book from a recognized race series (e.g. BMW CCA, SCCA, NASA, PCA, etc.). You must bring the log book with you to event and have it available for inspection by the event organizers.
Before registering for the event call Mike Clemens (262-242-4173) to obtain approval for your open top car. Open top cars will only be approved for the instructor and advanced groups. Open top cars at the event without prior approval and those found to be non-compliant can and will be excluded.
* If your open top car has a removable hardtop and you plan to drive with the top in place then arm restraints are not required.
SAVs and SUVs:
No X6s, X5s, X3s or Porsche Cayennes (or any other type of SAV/SUV) will be allowed in the driving school.
Track Damage:
You will be held personally responsible for any damage to the track that may results from an incident involving you and your car. For example, if you spill oil on the track or damage a tire wall or concrete barrier Road America will bill BMW CCA for these damages. We will in turn ask you to reimburse BMW CCA for these costs.
This is NOT a Racing School, but an opportunity for new drivers and experienced drivers to sharpen their skills on the road and on the track. We welcome a limited number of new drivers and will provide classroom sessions and in-car instruction for all drivers.
Event organizers will make the final decisions regarding run group assignment.
All drivers must fill out a separate registration.
Helmets must be Snell rated M 2000 or SA 2000 or later.
Drivers are financially responsible for any and all damages they cause to the facility and its parts. The only insurance covering you and your vehicle is your own.
