Things you need to know before you sign up to run with us;
1. You need a valid drivers license and the car you plan to use needs to have a current registration with valid sticker. No dedicated race cars please. You must have current automobile insurance on your vehicle. Your car must be street legal and have a full exhaust. Devens has strict sound limits.

3. The event runs from 7am to 6pm and we run rain or shine. Come prepared. It is important that you are able to stay the entire day! When you are driving, someone else is working the course picking up the cones that are struck. We need you to work the course while other people are driving. If you can't stay the entire day please wait for an event that you can stay all day before signing up. If you leave early without notifying the event chair you will not be allowed into future events.
4. Your car is required to pass tech inspection before participating at the event. A vehicle that will pass a state safety inspection will usually have no problem. Do not bring a vehicle with known mechanical problems, leaking fluids or is otherwise unsafe.
