| NORPCA TECHNICAL INSPECTION FORM |
Tech Inspection:
This may seem daunting but it's actually pretty simple. Download the tech inspection form and go over the checklist. It's all common sense stuff. We want you to have a good time and a few simple preparations will help ensure your car has a good time too. You can take this form to your mechanic to be filled out or, if you are your mechanic, you may fill it out yourself. Either way, take some time to prep your car before the track.
Multiple Drivers:
This year we will be allowing up to 2 drivers per car as long as each driver participates in their own run group (no split sessions). Complete a separate registration and payment for each driver. A single tech inspection form may be used.
Cancellations and Refunds:
If something happens and you can't make it, please notify us 30 days prior to the event and you will be issued a full refund. Cancellations within 30 days of the event will either be credited toward a future event or refunded in full if there is a waiting list (someone to take your spot).
