Please read the 2022 Matt Ammon Memorial Driving School Driver Handout and ACNW HPDE Event Information for Drivers documents posted on ACNW's Driving School Materials page.
Drivers participating in Driver Skills and Autocross only (no HPDE):
Drivers participating in HPDE/lapping:
You need to be a member of Audi Club North America to drive on track at this event*. If you’ve not yet joined the club, you can get in the club by clicking here.
All participants and guests must be at least 16 years of age. To qualify for lapping, drivers must have previously attended a Driver Skills (DS) clinic with the Audi Club or other equivalent club/group (please check with registrar Kris Wegielewski with any questions).
If you are bringing a convertible car or cross-over, please read the Convertibles or High Center of Gravity Vehicles section below.
*Reciprocal instructors from BMWCCA Puget Sound Chapter and PCA Pacific Northwest Region may instruct and drive without an ACNA membership.
Convertibles (HPDE participants only):
Convertibles lacking rollover protection are not permitted in ACNA High Performance Driving Schools (HPDE, lapping, or any events held “at speed”). Vehicles with removable hardtops or retractable hardtops lacking a rollover protection system are also not permitted at high-speed events. Convertibles with factory-installed rollover protection (either fixed or deployable) meet the ACNA minimum requirement for high-speed events and are acceptable, subject to approval by chapter leadership and event staff. We strongly recommend driving with the soft-top up or the hard top installed; otherwise, SFI and/or FIA approved arm restraint system(s) must be used.
High Center of Gravity Vehicles (HPDE participants only):
High center of gravity vehicles (truck, van, SUV-Sport Utility Vehicle, CUV-Crossover Utility Vehicle, SAV-Sport Activity Vehicle) are not permitted in Audi Club Driving School events held “at speed” (DE-Driver Education, HPDE, instructed or non-instructed lapping, track days), except those models included in the ACNA Vehicle Participation Exception List found in the ACNA Driving School and Event Guidelines document. These exceptions include Audi Q3/Q5, BMW X1/X3/X5, Porsche Macan, Cayenne, for example.
Audi Club North America policies for convertibles and high center of gravity vehicles are posted on the ACNW's Driving School Materials page under ACNA Driving School and Event Guidelines for your review.
Helmets (HPDE participants only):
Approved helmets are required to be worn when on the racetrack at this event. Approved helmets include only Snell SA2015, EA2016 or SA2020. We have club helmets in various sizes available for rent ($25) on a first come, first serve basis. Please request a rental helmet, if needed, on your registration form.
Safety Inspection Policy (HPDE participants only):
For every HPDE event, ACNW requires two (2) signatures on your Vehicle Safety Inspection Checklist form. View this form here. Safety Inspection forms are NOT required for participants of Driver Skills events.
Completion of the Vehicle Safety Inspection Checklist form, including the second signature, should be completed PRIOR to the event. Please bring a signed paper copy of your Safety Inspection Checklist to registration to hand in on the morning of the event.
Release and Waiver of Liability:
Everyone must sign the Release and Waiver of Liability and Communicable Disease Spectator and Participant Release forms online for Audi Club Northwest’s insurance coverage prior to coming to the facility. You can initiate the process here, for both yourself and as the legal guardian of a minor. You may also initiate the process using the SpeedWaiver invite on the registration form. The full text of this Release and Waiver of Liability is on the last page of the registration form, and can also be found on the ACNW's Driving School Materials page.
In addition, you will need to sign an online waiver from the Ridge prior to attending the event. We will provide that information to you when we get it.
