Driver qualifications for this event: All drivers need a PCA log book signed off to run solo, or equivalent from other clubs including POC, NASA, HOD, BMW. If you are not a regular PCA DE participant, please include as much detail on your last 2 years of HPDE experience as possible (events, dates, instructor names, lap times, all help us to place you in a suitable run group). Six days high speed track at a minium.
All drivers will be reviewed and approved by Zone representatives prior to the event. Non approved drivers will be required to have a instructor. Instructors will be assigned as they become available.
Also please note that there are clothing requirements and an approved Snell 2010SA helmet is required.
Pre-tech is Required! Please take your car in for service and have it thoroughly inspected prior to this event. With two full days of driving on a large speedway, you will want to be safe and have your car make it through the weekend. Plus you'll want to be certain that, before you leave for the track, you and your car have any required safety equipment (Stock and Street Stock coupes generally need no additional safety equipment, but see the Rules link below to be sure that you qualify). All entrants pre-teching must present a current PCA Zone 8 Tech Inspection Form with name, address, phone, emergency contact info, car, class, etc. to a qualified tech inspection shop. See list here https://www.zone8.org/assets/docs/2021/TechInspectionStations2021.xlsx The tech form can be found at https://www.zone8.org/assets/docs/SampleTechFormZ8.pdf Once your car is accurately entered, click on "Car Info PDF". Fill in all fields that are not pre-filled, then print and sign. Do not use any older form as only the most recent form will be accepted and if you bring the wrong form you will need to re-tech at the track. Cars inspected by shops not personally known to the Registrar are subject to random on-site re-inspection. If you do not properly pre-tech you will be required to pass an on-site tech inspection at the track.
This is a Zone 8 event and it will run under PCA Zone 8 Driving Rules for 2021 which can be found here: https://www.zone8.org/assets/docs/2021/2021Z8RulesRev2.pdf
