What types of cars can be used ?
Any type of a sports car or high performance touring car can be used, as
long as it has H Speed Rated or higher tires. No SUV’s or Trucks. It will also
need to have a current registration, state inspection and insurance. Keep in
mind that most of this program will be run at much higher speeds than you see
on the highway so you and the car you choose along with all of its components
will need to be up to the task. All cars must pass an in-depth, detailed safety and technical inspection
before being allowed on the racetrack. 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.
How much track time will I get ?
You will get 2-20 minute sessions on track with coaching from your
Instructor between.
What do I need to bring with me ?
You will need a high quality SA rated Auto Racing helmet, preferably
full face, SA 2000 designation or newer. If you do not have your own helmet you
may rent one for $25. We also suggest anti-glare sunglasses. You will need to
wear a long sleeve shirt and long pants while on-track. Wear narrow light
weight closed shoes with non-slip soles. Food and drinks are available for sale
at the track; you may also bring your own.
Can I bring friends and family ?

as many as you choose. Your guests can purchase a 3-Lap Ride in one of our 600
HP Sprint Cup style Stockcars while you go thru your Check-In and Drivers
Meeting.
Can I get my car tech’d at the track ?
No. You will need to get your car tech’d in advance so you can fax or
mail in a completed Tech form 10 days in advance of your chosen date. You will
be mailed a Tech form along with your tickets and your information pack when
you purchase your tickets and choose your date. If you can not run your session due to your car not passing
Tech or not having a completed Tech form there will be no refund of any fees
paid.
Do you offer photography of me while I am on track ?
We do. Everyone will be photographed on-track at speed and will have the
option of purchasing those photos when you are done.
What happens if I crash my car ?

harmless agreement at check-in. We are not responsible for any damage to you or
your car regardless of whether this damage was caused by yourself in a single
