Classroom Sessions:
This is a driver's education school and is not practice for any racing or speed contest. All participants are required to attend classroom sessions designed to teach vehicle dynamics and driving techniques. These sessions will continue throughout the day to help participants understand the fine art of high speed driving. Failure to attend as required will result in loss of driving privileges.

Tech Inspection:
You will be required to have a qualified individual/mechanic inspect your vehicle and verify its safety. This inspection should occur within four weeks of the event. In addition, on the evening prior to the event our tech crew will collect all Pre-Event Safety Inspection Reports and perform a spot check of every vehicle. You are solely responsible for insuring that your vehicle is safe before you come to the track. Failure to present a completed Pre-Event Safety Inspection Report or failure to pass our spot check will disqualify you from participation in the event and your entry fee will be forfeited

Pre-event tech inspection and registration will occur at the Country Inn by Carlson Millville on Monday October 20th, from 4 to 7 PM. You will need to have your pre-event tech inspection form filled out by your mechanic no more than 30 days prior to the event. The inspection form can be downloaded from here.

Other Requirements:
All participants will be organized into run groups in accordance with experience, skill, and type of vehicle based on the experience of the applicants. Participants not "signed off" to solo will be required to drive with an instructor on board at all times. Under no circumstances will timed laps be permitted! If you are seen with a stop watch or lap timing device at any time, you will be asked to leave and forfeit your ability to participate in this or future Audi Club Driving Schools.

Medical Information Form:
Completion of the Medical Information Form is at the option of the Applicant, though it is highly recommended. Complete this form if you would like rescue personnel at the racetrack to have your medical information readily available should you incur personal injuries or suffer from an illness while participating in the event. If you opt to complete the form, you must strictly follow the instructions. A sealed envelope with this form will be delivered to the rescue personnel before driving begins. After conclusion of the event, your envelope and its contents will be shredded.

Instructors:
To qualify as an instructor, you must have previously been certified by ACNA or another acceptable group. Please contact the event master prior to signing up in order to confirm your status prior to signing up.

Instructors are asked to attend a complimentary dinner following the tech inspection at 7:00pm to review this new track via in car video and a corner-by-corner walk through.
