Everyone must sign the Release and Waiver when coming onto the facility to become credentialed (covered) in Audi Club Northwest’s insurance.  This requirement includes drivers, instructors, teens, guests and visitors - everyone.  The full text of this Release and Waiver is in the next screens.  Please read it carefully.  Parents or guardians must also sign a Minor Waiver on behalf of participating teens.  Please contact the Event Master or Registrar prior to the event with any questions.

Indicate the signoff from your Log Book for driver skill level when that question appears in the registration process.  Instructors will be available for anyone who wants coaching, and for those who are not signed off to Intermediate (solo) or higher.

Chalk Talks are required for first time attendees and will be held Saturday morning at 8:00am at Sanderson Field.

Gates open at 7:00am both Saturday and Sunday at The Ridge and at Sanderson Field.

Helmets are NOT required for the Driver Skills (DS) Exercises on Saturday morning or the DS Autocross on Saturday afternoon. Helmets are required for the All-day Autocross and are supplied at the event.

Helmets ARE required for HPDE Lapping and Sundays All-day Autocross. Our Helmet Requirement for this event is Snell 2005 or later. The SA (Special Application-Automotive), M (Motorcycle) and K (Karting) designators are approved. We have 28 club helmets in various sizes available for rent on a first come, first serve basis.  If you still need a helmet but they are all rented out at the time of your registration, please make a note in the registration comments that you need one.  We cannot guarantee that one will become available, however, and you will not be allowed to participate without a helmet.

Convertibles and roadsters are not permitted to run high speed driver training or lapping events unless equipped with an approved aftermarket 4-point roll bar in the car and 4-point ASM (anti submarining), 5-point or 6-point harnesses. Equal restraints must be provided for both the passenger and the driver, if an instructor or passenger will be in the car.  For example, harnesses with 4, 5, or 6 point mounts used by the driver, must also be provided for the front seat passenger.  The roll bar must pass the “broomstick rule” such that a broomstick from the top of the windshield to the top of the roll bar is over the head of the driver.  Roadsters, Cabriolets, and Spyders will not qualify for tech inspection without an aftermarket roll bar.  Audi Club North America policy is posted on http://www.audiclubna.org/resources/driving-school-and-event-guideline under Chapter Resources for your review.

Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs, SAVs), trucks, and other high-center vehicles are not permitted on either Saturday or Sunday.  Email the event master if you have questions about your car qualifications.

ACNW will attempt to accommodate special dietary requirements if requested. However, meals are provided by third parties and circumstances may not always enable ACNW or its vendors to meet special dietary needs.

**ATTENTION: NEW TECH INSPECTION REQUIREMENT FOR 2017**

Audi Club Northwest (ACNW) will be implementing a new policy developed by Audi Club North America (ACNA) on vehicle safety inspections and our event Tech process.

For every event, ACNW will require two (2) signatures on your Safety Inspection Checklist. View this newly updated form HERE.

• The signature at the bottom is yours. This isn't changing. It is still your car and we need you to take responsibility for its safe condition and operation. (Pretty easy so far!)
• The second “Inspected by” signature above yours is new. It is ACNW’s expectation that your car will be inspected per the areas of emphasis on the Safety Inspection Checklist form by a dealer, a local shop, or another person you believe has the technical knowledge and experience (“competent”) to properly inspect your car for safety. Ultimately it’s your responsibility to confirm that your car is safe to operate at the event, and ACNW strongly encourages you to be honest with regard to your own mechanical abilities/knowledge. Should you feel capable and confident in inspecting your own vehicle, it is permissible for the second “Inspected by” signature to be your own.

On the morning of the event, you will take your car through the Tech Line process (see below) in order to be allowed on track.  However, completion of the Safety Inspection Checklist form, including the second signature, should be completed PRIOR to getting to the Tech Line process.

Tech Line Process:

Prior to getting in line for Tech:

• Visit Registration to check in and get your registration packet (with event car numbers)
• Ensure your vehicle meets all areas of the Safety Inspection Checklist form, particularly removal of all lose items from the cabin and trunk
• Apply event car numbers to car exterior (outside rear windows, if possible, on both sides)
• Complete Safety Inspection Checklist form with car number

During Tech:

• Get in line with your vehicle at designated area
• Stay in your vehicle and be prepared to participate in the process as directed by Tech Line staff
• Provide your completed Safety Inspection Checklist form (this includes 2 signatures) when requested
• Upon successful completion of the process, you’ll be given your final event sticker that signifies your vehicle is cleared for entry on track. You will place this sticker in the center of your car's windshield, at the very top.
• Return to your parking spot and be prepared for the mandatory Driver’s meeting
