Participant Requirements: 

1. Participants must be SCCA members (Weekend Memberships are available for $20 and must be  purchased online at the time of registration). 

2. Any driver that has the legal authority (license/permit) to operate an automobile on a public road  may participate in a Track Day (HPDE)/TT event, as long as all restrictions of the driving license  are met. If those restrictions require a passenger, that passenger must be an SCCA Driver  Coach assigned by the Chief Driving Coach.  

3. For All drivers aged 17 and under the parent/guardian MUST contact the Event Lead  (chefjreimer@gmail.com) 7 days PRIOR TO THE EVENT to discuss the Waiver  Approval Process and obtain the proper forms. Minors (aged 17 and under) are required to  have a specific SCCA minor wavier executed on their behalf by their parents or legal guardians.  

4. Everyone attending the event (drivers, crew, family or friends) must Check-In at Registration to  obtain a Wristband. The Wristband is issued once you have verified the SCCA “Release and  Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement” waiver has been signed. The  preferred method is via the SpeedWaiver which can be set up during registration. Additionally  there will be a waiver in Registration. EVERYONE attending MUST “Check-In” at Registration  and obtain an SCCA Wristband. EVEN if you have executed the SpeedWaiver, you must have  the wristband. This is your insurance while at the event, so No Wristband – No Insurance. It  should be noted that LVMS also requires a signature on their own  waiver, by all attendees at the gate, to gain to access their property – this is a separate waiver  that is unrelated to the SCCA Waiver. You must sign both waivers!  

5. Participants must present their completed Pre-Event Tech Form, available via the link on MSR and your helmet to the Tech Inspectors for approval. 

Run Groups: Participants are grouped by their level of “performance driving” experience as indicated on the entry form and must run with that group. Changes in the assigned group will be considered by, and are at the sole discretion of, the Chief Driving Coach. It is strongly recommended that all prospective entrants ensure that the MotorsportReg.com profile accurately reflects prior on-track experience.
