Event requirements

This event will run rain or shine. 

You are solely responsible for the safety of your car.  We may choose to inspect cars for safety at any time and for any reason.  Lemon's type cars and cars with damaged bodywork will receive a special safety inspection at the track.  Any size water, brake fluid, or fuel leaks will disqualify you.  

You are responsible for any damage you cause to the track or facilities.  Any extra charges from the track for cleanup, fire, K-walls, damage, etc may be charged back to you and we will decide this on a case-by-case basis.

Your helmet  must be rated Snell SA 2015 or later.  Motorcycle helmets are not allowed.  This is your responsibility as we do not routinely inspect helmets.

If you are using a 4, 5, or 6 point racing harness then you must also have a HANS type device to prevent you from breaking your neck in a crash.

All cars must have numbers on both sides of the cars for Identification.  Pick any number.  Digits must be 6” tall minimum.
