You will be mailed a Tech Sheet with your ticket packet along with instructions on how to get it completed.  

 

How fast will I get to go ?

How fast you go usually depends on you, your car and your driving abilities. You should realize that higher speeds will come with knowledge and experience. The first lap of each session will be under a Yellow Flag. We ask that you limit your speed to 70 MPH until the Green Flag is thrown. Under Green Flag conditions we encourage you to safely and smoothly explore the limits of your car and your skills while staying at your comfort level. Remember this is NOT a race and in the interest of safety we will slow drivers who are demonstrating unsafe and/or irresponsible driving.
