Your car must successfully complete a safety inspection and each driver must sign a liability waiver. Inspection sessions are being planned in the hotel parking lot. Inspections other than during these two sessions will be on an emergency basis only or as a re-inspection of a previously failed car. Following are a few of the most commonly overlooked items:
Battery tie down
Wheel bearings loose
Hubcaps and wheel rings (remove)
Loose items anywhere including the boot (trunk)
Safe floor mats (subjective…it’s easier to remove them)
SCCA requires SNELL rated helmets (loaners will be available)

We will adhere as closely as possible to the VTR Autocross Rules and classes will be assigned as defined in those rules. Please verify your assigned class and status at the time that you pick up your registration information. There will be a sign-up sheet available.
The course will be set-up and facilitated by local SCCA members. There will be two heats with the classes equally divided between the two. We will attempt to complete a minimum of three runs per class. Participants will be expected to serve as corner workers after they complete their runs.

We will have several hosted dinner runs. The seating will be limited, so be sure to sign up when you pick up your registration packets upon arrival.
