Friday/Saturday/Sunday FULL 2.7 km track requirements on Aug 23, 2013 (455149) | MotorsportReg.com

 

Driver Requirements:

 

- Valid drivers license

- Novice drivers without track driving experience must take instruction (additional fee) and complete a checkout ride before being permitted to solo.

- MotorsportReg driver profile must be filled out INCLUDING PREVIOUS TRACK DRIVING EXPERIENCE.  Unknown drivers without previous driving track experience in their profile will be placed in the novice run group and have an instructor assigned (additional fee).

  

Vehicle Requirements:

- PERMITTED VEHICLES include track-worthy and safe sportscars only.  Trucks, Sport Utility Vehicles, and Sport Activity Vehicles are NOT permitted. Convertibles, cabriolets, and open-top cars ...  please contact us BEFORE registering.

- Vehicle technical INSPECTION completed in advance of the event.  Inspection for can be found at www.trackjunkies.ca/self-tech.pdf.  We strongly recommend having the vehicle inspected by a licensed Automotive Service Technician with knowledge of the rigors expected in road course driving.

- BRAKE FLUID must be less than six months old as of the event date.  Please note that the energy required to stop a vehicle at speed must be dissipated as heat. Repeated application of the brakes on a road course will cause a significant heat buildup.  This heat can cause a number of underlying mechanical problems to become apparent, in particular that water absorbed into aging brake fluid will boil (referred to as "boiling the brakes").  Should this happen, there will be enough steam in the brake lines to cause a SUDDEN AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. This is prevented when there is fresh brake fluid in the reservoir, lines and calipers.

- HELMET:  Snell-approved M-2005 or newer (motorcycle) helmets are permitted in novice (Green) and intermediate run (Yellow and Orange) groups when using factory 3-point seat belts. ALL Snell-approved helmets bear a Snell rating sticker, typically found by lifting up the helmet liner (you should not need to remove any glued portions of the liner to view the sticker).  Open-face helmets are preferred in vehicles with air bags; closed-face helmets are preferred in vehicles without air bags.

- CLOTHING:  Shirts with sleeves and long pants are strongly recommended.  Clothing should be comfortable without restricting movement. Natural fibers (i.e. cotton) are preferred.  Smooth, rubber-soled shoes are recommended.  A thinner sole is preferred as this will enhance pedal feedback and feel.  Leather-soled shoes are not recommended.  Open-toes shoes are not permitted.

- Additional requirements for occupants using 4, 5, or 6-point RACING HARNESSES:  SA-2005 or newer (motorsport) helmet and structural roll-over protection (motorsport roll bar or roll cage) are required.

- Additional requirements for Red OPEN PASSING run group:  SA-2005 or newer (motorsport) helmet, HANS device, 5- or 6-point harness secured to structural roll-over protection (motorsport roll bar or roll cage).  If this terminology is new to you, you are probably not ready for the Red open passing group.

- EVENT WILL GO RAIN OR SHINE … please be prepared.  No refunds for inclimate weather.
