SHARING A CAR
You can share a car with another registered driver as long as you are in different run groups. Each driver must register separately. At this event, the Intro and Green groups will be on track together, so an Intro student cannot share a car with a Green student. 

 

REQUIREMENTS

Licensed drivers 18 and older
All drivers must be 18 or older and present their valid driver’s license at registration on the first morning of the event. If you cannot present your driver’s license, you will not be allowed on track.

Helmets
Drivers must wear a helmet with one of these ratings:

  • Snell SA/SAH 2010 or 2015
  • Snell M 2010 or 2015

We recommend full-face helmets. However, open face helmets can be used in cars with working, factory-installed air bags.

Mandatory pre-event tech inspection
All cars must be inspected by a qualified mechanic using the current RTR inspection form. The inspection must take place no more than 2 weeks before the event.

If you live in the RTR region your inspection needs to be done by an RTR approved inspector. For your convenience, we will hold an inspection event on 6/10 at Dougherty Automotive – cost is $20. You can use the lift to do any necessary prep work such as changing your oil or brake pads.

If you live outside of the RTR region, please have your car inspected by your local dealer or an ASE certified mechanic who is familiar with your marque. The mechanic must use the current RTR inspection form.

Eligible Vehicles
RTR events are open to passenger cars of all marques (sorry no trucks or open wheel cars). See below for info on convertibles. Please check the RTR inspection form for additional details regarding vehicle requirements.

Convertibles
Before registering, please review the specific safety requirements for your car on the RTR inspection form.

  • You must be able to pass the “broomstick rule” (your helmet must fit below an imaginary line between the roll bar and top of the windshield) when seated in your driving position.
  • If you will drive your car with the top down/off, you must wear arm restraints.
  • Convertibles with ONLY “pop up” roll over protection (such as the Porsche 996, 997 & 991) are only allowed in the Green run group. Above that, you must install a fixed roll bar. Having a hardtop does not replace the need for fixed rollover protection.

UPDATE 5/22/17: Cars with Collision Avoidance/Automatic Emergency Braking Systems
All collision avoidance/auto braking systems must be turned off when you are on track. Please review your car’s manual to understand how your system works and how to turn it off. If the system needs to be turned off each time you start the car, be sure to work that into your run session prep routine. Please don't confuse these systems with stability management systems that should remain ON while driving on track.
