     a. Follow the state and municipal guidelines.

     b. All participate and staff will wear masks at all times (except in the car under your helmet). This is for your safety and the safety of everyone on-site.

     c. Hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, trash baskets, disposal face masks, cleaners and disinfectants will be provided if you do not have any. However, you should bring your own to ensure there is enough for all.

     d. We will limit in-person contact as much as possible between you, other participants and the volunteer staff. There will not be a hospitality tent at this event.

     f. The Tech Review will be set up a little differently that in the past to create social distancing. Be prepared for this to take a little longer to complete. Come to the track early to assist in the new format.

     g.The Driver's meeting will be in a written format and sent to you via email the week before the event. Please read and understand fully what is included in the notes. Should you have questions contact Todd Trimble at todd@trophylv.com. 

 

2. New safety equipment for HPDE: Head and neck restraints are required for all drivers in harness-equipped vehicles. Tech review staff will be checking head and neck restraints expiration dates. This change has been required by a directive from PCA National in 2019.

Head and neck restraints are required for all five or six point harnesses. Also, the same type of restraint system is required for both driver and passenger. Harnesses are required to be SFI or FIA approved for competition and mounted in the manufacturer's approved configuration. Any harness approved for PCA Club Racing is acceptable when installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Evidence of this approval must be provided by the driver, if necessary. We will be checking expiration dates on harness systems at Tech Review.

If you are running stock/DOT approved 3-point restraint system (stock seat belts) additional head and neck restraints are not required. The Las Vegas Region will not rent/provide head and neck restraint systems. Participants must provide their own systems if required.

3. Gates open at 7:00 a.m.  The Mandatory Drivers Meeting will not be held in the classroom this time. The Driver's Meeting will be a three part (One for each Run Group) and be located at the Tech Review area. There also is a written form that should be reviewed prior to arriving at the Track. See attached. DE Written Driver's Meeting Notes.pdf . Attached is the Track Schedule: PCA DE Schedule 091220 (rev 3).docx . You must arrive prior to 8:00 a.m. to ensure you pass the Temperature Check, Registration and attend the Driver's Meeting.

5. All car occupants must wear a Snell approved SA rated helmet of 2010 rating or newer.  

Helmet Rentals will not be available at the track.

6. We no longer rent transponders.

7. Clothing: Full-length pants, long sleeve shirts. Shoes must be enclosed, non-slip, with a relatively smooth sole. Hiking type deep lugged soles are not acceptable. No short pants allowed. Clothing must be of natural fibers, no synthetics except approved fire resistant material. If the weather is very hot, we MAY declare a "hot day" and allow short sleeves, but don't count on it. Bring long sleeved shirts.

Convertibles must run with the top closed - this includes T-tops, Targa tops and sunroofs. Faceshields or protective goggles are required in all open cars and cars without a windshield.

Without these three form signed you will not be able to participation in this weekend event.

14. The Tech Review Stations will be separated into three lanes. Red, Green and White. Be sure that you line up in the proper lane. This will speed up the process and get the Run Groups out on the Track as quick as possible.

15. There has been a significant time since most of us have been on Track. Also, we are running a slightly different track layout than we have in the past. To prepare for these changes, we will be running a parade lap, lead by the safety car, for the first session each day followed by one lap under the yellow flag before the green flag drops

We look forward to seeing you there!
