REGISTRATION

Registration closes at 5:45PM. Late arrivals will be handled as our staff has time. The way to ensure you get the most out of your day and don’t miss any track time is to arrive early so you can register on time.

Bring your photo I.D. and all of your safety gear including helmet.  At registration we will have you sign the liability waiver, check you in.  You can then proceed immediately to the pit spots.

TECH INFO:

  • Tires must have a minimum of 50% tread life remaining
  • Front and rear brakes must be in good working condition.  Brake pads will be visually inspected for wear. Any brake pads deemed too thin will not pass inspection.
  • Brake lights must be working, and glass must be taped over securely if damaged previously. 
  • Batteries must be securely tied down; no loose objects allowed inside trunk and cabin

DRIVERS MEETING

At 5:45 PM there will be a mandatory drivers’ meeting for all registered participants. The meeting usually lasts about twenty minutes and covers information that is important for the safety of all drivers. Procedures, flags, rules, and track information will all be covered. Any drivers not in attendance will not be allowed on the track and refunds will not be given.

FLAGS

Pay attention to flag stations when you drive by them. It’s the only way we can communicate with you. Your instructors will show you where these stations are on the initial laps. 

All participants must understand and follow all flagging procedures.

  • Green Flag: Track is hot, drivers are on the course
  • Checkered Flag: The session is over. Exit the track at Pit In on this lap.
  • Yellow Flag: Something is happening ahead that requires attention. Pay attention and be alert for a potential hazard. 
  • Red Flag: The session has to be stopped immediately. Put on your hazard lights, ease off the throttle and slowly come to a complete stop at the next corner station.  Follow the instructions of the corner workers once you come to a full stop.
  • Black Flag: If the black flag is displayed to you, there is an issue with your car or your driving that is serious enough to warrant having you pull off the track. The black flag is displayed by the corner worker pointing at you.  If you are black-flagged, come back to the hot pits and one of our staffs will chat with you and tell you what was wrong with either your driving or your car.

Other general rules to follow: 

  • No timing.
  • 95db static noise limit.

New Track Drivers **Please read in full**

Please review the following for car preparation. It is not limited to only these key items, but you must ensure they are looked after before arriving at the event.

These are safety items which will not only keep yourself safe but also everyone else sharing the track with you. Having a car that is mechanically sound to withstand the much higher loads on track compared to street driving ensures you a fun day of driving and more importantly, a car to drive home in.

  • Brake Pads
  • Regular OEM and equivalent brake pads are NOT recommended.
  • Use uprated performance pads designed for street and track driving at the minimum. (Ie. StopTech Sport, Hawk HP+, etc)
  • Minimum 60% pad thickness recommended.
  • Brake Fluid
  • It is REQUIRED to bleed or flush your brake fluid before a track day. (This minimizes the chance of boiling the fluid and losing all braking. No brakes = No fun)
  • Use DOT4 or DOT5.1 fluids only.
  • Tires
  • Summer tires with at least 6/32” tread and V-rated or better are highly recommended.
  • Some all-season tires are also acceptable, but only high or ultra-high performance types at the minimum.
  • Winter tires with or without studs are not acceptable and will not be allowed on track.

The items above are just a few important things to prepare. Car preparation is the responsibility of every driver. If you don’t know how to properly prepare your car for track driving, please consult a knowledgeable mechanic or repair shop.
