Event requirements

All participants must have a valid driver's license and be at least 18 years of age.  You will be asked to present your driver's license at the track.  Don't leave home without it!

All participants must wear a Snell approved helmet, which has the current available Snell rating or the one previous Snell rating (Snell 2010 or 2005).

All cars, including instructors' cars, must be inspected no more than two weeks prior to the event by an approved Riesentöter tech inspector.  Only the approved Riesentöter tech form will be accepted.

 

Tech Inspection Rules
Riesentöter Members Your Porsche must be inspected by an authorized Riesentoter Tech Inspector.
Driving Instructors You must have your car inspected by an approved Riesentoter Tech Inspector for each event.
Non Riesentöter - PCA Members A technical inspector authorized by your region should inspect your car. Please have our RTR Tech Form signed and stamped.
Non-PCA Members: If you reside within twenty-five miles of Philadelphia, your car should be teched by a certified Riesentöter tech inspection facility or at our tech session (see above). If you reside in the state of Pennsylvania but outside the 25-mile radius, your car can be inspected at a certified Pennsylvania Inspection facility. If you reside outside of state, your car must be teched by a professional repair facility that specializes in your marque. A RTR tech form is required, be signed, have car VIN on the form and a RECEIPT FOR SERVICES RENDERED.

Please note: The technical inspection is for your benefit.  As a driver, you are responsible for the tech inspection of you vehicle.  Your safety as well as that of your fellow drivers may depend on the quality and thoroughness of this inspection.  Please emphasize this to your inspector.

All cars, including instructors' cars, must be inspected no more than two weeks prior to the event by an approved Riesentöter tech inspection facility.  Only approved Riesentöter tech forms will be accepted.  Convertibles: See specific requirements on the Riesentöter tech form.

Please keep in mind that this is not a racing school but rather a high speed driving school, conducted on a race track under the supervision of experienced instructors.  You will learn how to handle and control your vehicle at speeds not normally attained on public roads.  This will help to prepare you for emergencies in normal driving.  It will also allow you to explore your capabilities as a driver and those of your vehicle.

At no time will you be pushed or encouraged to go any faster than is comfortable for you.  All participants will be organized into run groups in accordance with experience, skill, and type of vehicle.

Riesentöter has developed a Drivers Education Manual especially designed for the novice student.  If you are a new Driver School Participant, we urge you to read this material to familiarize yourself with the program, safety issues and concerns and to obtain a better understanding of our events for your benefit and for the benefit of your fellow participants.

Be sure to visit the Riesentöter website, where event forms, updates, Track Bulletins, and other Driver School event information may be found.

Written requests for refunds, sent to registrar@rtr-pca.org must be received two weeks prior to the event.
