Event requirements
Prior Experience: DE participants need no prior experience (minimum age of 18 years, valid state driver's license, and good mental and physical health required)! A 2012 Zone 8 Solo Permit or Log Book is required. Students without a Log Book, or experienced drivers with credentials from another club, should select the documentation option on the registration page.
All novice drivers will be required to have an Instructor. Novice DE drivers will have a required educational component as part of their schedule that commences on Friday morning, prior to driving. Also please note that there are clothing requirements and an approved helmet is required. Please contact the Registrar for information on helmet rental if needed. Experienced drivers new to SDR events may also be required to have an Instructor until their competency has been demonstrated.
New Classification System for 2012: The classification system has changed for 2012. Even if you participated in the SDR classification system in 2011 you will still need to reclassify your car from scratch. Fortunately there's now an online tool to help you do that. Go to http://zone8.pca.org/CarClass/Default.aspx and enter info about your car. You need to do this BEFORE you click Continue below and begin to register as you are required to input your 2012 class as part of the registration process. All cars need to do this, including X class cars, even though this is a non-competitive event as safety equipment requirements are determined based upon Modification points which are calculated as part of the online tool. The ability for the online tool to calculate Modification points for non-Porsches is still under development. Non-Porsches running in X class may register now but will be required to provide their Modification point total prior to the event once the online tool has the functionality to calculate it.
Pre-tech is Strongly Encouraged! Please try to take your car in for service and have it thoroughly inspected prior to this event. You'll want to be certain that, before you leave for the track, you and your car have any required safety equipment (Stock and Street Stock coupes generally need no additional safety equipment, but see the Rules link below to be sure that you qualify). All entrants pre-teching must present a Tech Inspection Form fully filled out to a qualified tech inspection shop. The form may be found at: http://pcasdr.net/pcasdr/forms/AXRegForm.pdf. The Tech Inspection Form has changed for 2012. Please download the new form using the link above. Do not use the old form as the classification system has changed since the 2011 season so it will not be accepted and you will need to re-tech at the track. Cars inspected by shops not personally known to the Registrar are subject to random on-site re-inspection.
PCA Zone 8 Driving Rules for 2012 can be found here: http://zone8.pca.org/rules/2012/2012Z8Rules.pdf.
If there are any changes to your registration data after the online registration deadline, you need to notify the Registrar by the day of the event BEFORE the first run session.
All entrants and guests shall be required to sign the PCA waiver upon registering at the track. This is in addition to any waiver that the track itself may require you to sign. You are responsible for your guests and may be asked to leave the event if your guests are found to have not signed the PCA waiver.
