Is my car track worthy?
Maybe. Your safety as well as the safety of the other drivers is key. In order to participate in the DE event you must have your car tech inspected. A copy of the form/check list is available on the DE INFO page. This can be filled out by yourself or your mechanic (preferably) and is a requirement.
I've never tracked my car. Is this a good first time?
Absolutely YES. You will be with a group that is highly receptive to novice track drivers. We even have a first timers run group this year!
Who is running the DE?
This is an EBR/NOR-PCA event.
Do I need a helmet?
Yes. You will need a SNELL rated helmet. Details are on the DE INFO page. Some loaners may be available so please contact us ahead of time if this will be an issue.
Is the DE just one day or all three?
The 944Fest group is only on Friday but 9Fest continues on track for Saturday and Sunday. You may register for Friday only (1 day) or Fri Sat Sun (3 days).
If I register for the track all 3 days will I miss out on any 944Fest activities?
The only conflict with participating in the DE all 3 days is the poker run on Saturday. All other activities will be held at the track throughout the weekend.
