  • GREEN for novice and beginner students (generally 0-5 events)
  • YELLOW for novice/intermediate students (generally 5-10 events)
  • BLUE for upper intermediate/advanced students (generally 10-20 events)
  • RED for upper advanced/instructor overflow (generally 20+ events with verifiable solo experience)
  • WHITE - Instructor group.  For instructors we have two options.  See registration form for details.

Instructors:  If you do not see an 'Instructor Entry' option when you register, it means we do not have you authorized as an instructor in MotorsportReg.

Event requirements

THIS EVENT WILL RUN RAIN OR SHINE ** We will not run in heavy fog (corner workers must be able to see from one station to the next).

This is NOT a race school - Our events focus on learning proper high performance driving technique that will translate well into both street and track use. We focus our instruction on car control, on-track protocol, and advanced techniques that will be used with most clubs that run on-track driving events. We pride ourselves on the safety of our participants and our guests. We conduct events that we feel offer the most value for your track dollar, while keeping the costs reasonable and the risks minimal.

As of January 1, 2011,THSCC REQUIRES that all helmets be Snell SA2005 specification minimum. We do not accept M rated helmets of any year, nor will we accept Snell rated helmets older than 2005.   We have a very limited supply of loaner helmets that can be reserved on a first-requested, first-served basis.

All participants' cars must complete our annual vehicle inspection which will be good for the calendar year if preformed by an approved shop before attending their first event with us each year. The inspection can be performed at any of our annual inspection days (Dates and registration on MSReg) or at any independent shop with access to a car lift. The inspection form must be completed and signed or stamped by the mechanic.  Approved shops, see THSCC site, we will issue an annual sticker at first event, for other shops we will issue a day/s of event sticker.

THSCC event staff will review the form at event check in and a THSCC tech sticker will be issued (if one was not recieved during the inspection).  The annual inspection form can be found hereTHSCC does NOT do on-site tech inspectionsYou must have this inspection completed before you arrive at the event.  (However, Time Trial equipment can be inspected on site.)  We will have multiple annual tech days scheduled during the year.  If you plan on participating in the Time Trial, we STRONGLY encourage you to sign up for one of these tech days.  Current scheduled tech days are listed below.

A copy of these rules is available upon request from Track Management or THSCC .  All participants and their guests are required to abide by the track's rules and regulations.
