If you will be driving a convertible without factory rollover protection, before registering please read the following:
 

Open Cars: Any make of car delivered with factory installed roll over protection meets the minimum standards for PCA DE events. In these cars the soft-top must be in the up position or the hard top installed. If the top is in the down position, an SFI and/or FIA approved arm restraint system* must be used. If a car does not have factory installed roll over protection, a roll bar or roll cage must be installed, which meets the "broomstick" rule (the driver's helmeted head is below a bar placed on top of the roll bar and windshield). Design, installation and materials of roll bars or cages and their installation must meet PCA Club Racing specifications, contained in Appendix A-Roll Cage Specifications of the PCA Club Racing Rules. All targa tops must be installed unless there is addition roll over protection. All sunroofs must be in the closed position. The windshield alone is not considered to be factory roll over protection.

If you register as a PCA member, you MUST include your active PCA membership number in your MotorsportReg.com registration profile.  If you do not, your registration approval may be delayed or rejected and you may be charged a $35 administrative fee. If you have questions about PCA membership, ask them before you register.  If you own a Porsche and would like to join the Porsche Club of America CLICK HEREbefore you register for this event.  PCA membership will be verified.
 
If your car does not have factory seatbelts for both the driver and passenger, before registering please read the following:

If the participant chooses to install a 5/6 point driving harness (four point systems are subject to special rules set forth below) several changes to the automobile must be made to create a safe occupant restraint system. Harnesses must include an antisubmarine strap and be mounted in an approved manner consistent with the manufacturer’s instructions. The Harness system must be used in conjunction with a seat which has the supplied routing holes for the shoulder and anti-submarine belts.  All pieces of the restraint system must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

This means that a seat is required to have the proper routing holes for the harness as supplied by the seat manufacturer for the shoulder, lap and anti-submarine straps. The shoulder straps should be mounted at 90 degrees to the axis of your spine or at most 40 degrees down from horizontal. Because the addition of the harness system means that the occupants are fastened upright in the vehicle, a properly padded roll bar or roll cage is strongly encouraged to complete the SYSTEM. The use of one without the other may result in an unsafe environment and is not a COMPLETE SYSTEM. Due to UV degradation and wear the harness webbing must be replaced every five years.    

12/07 Harness Standard Amendment:

In addition to the standard SFI and/ or FIA approved five and/or six point system, the standard will allow a four point system that meets the following requirements:

1. Meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 209

2. Attaches to the factory seat belt mounting points

3. Each belt is designed to work in a specific vehicle and that vehicle tag must be attached to the belt system

An example of a system that meets the above criteria is the Schroth Quick Fit system.

All pariticpants must be at least 18 years of age and must present a valid US state issued driver's license at track registration.
 
Helmet Requirements:  You must have a helmet that is Snell SA 2005 or M2005 rated or newer. These are available through a number of internet sites as well as some motorcycle shops. SA helmets provide flame resistance and greater protection from impact with a rollbar. M helmets generally provide a wider field of vision. Full face helmets may provide more protection than open face models.WE HAVE A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF LOANER HELMETS AVAILABLE ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS FOR GROUP 4 (FIRST TIME) STUDENTS ONLY. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS IF YOU ARRIVE WITHOUT AN APPROVED HELMET. NO RENTALS ARE AVAILABLE. FIRST TIMERS ONLY: PLEASE RESERVE (SPECIFY HELMET SIZE) BY EMAIL IMMEDIATELY AFTER REGISTERING, IF YOU WILL NEED A LOANER.

SUV Rules: Porsche Cayennes and Macans allowed only in First Timer and Novice run groups. No other SUVs or trucks are allowed in any run group.

NOTE:  If you cancel your confirmed registration, a $35 administrative fee will be deducted from all refunds.
