Come Prepared with a Full Face Snell SA2020 Helmet
Your car was built for track use. If you haven't put your car on the racetrack, you are missing one of life's greatest joys -
the fun, the excitement, and the thrill of high performance driving.
Track day events are non-competitive. This is not a race. You go at your own pace with other drivers at your experience level.
You can increase the pace as you gain confidence, and always stay within your own comfort level.
No one will pass you unless you give them a signal that you are comfortable being passed at that moment.
You will not be alone. At all times you will have a trained instructor in the car
equipped with a two-way communicator to guide you through the event.
Your car is ready for the track if you have had it well maintained.
Some events require entrants get their cars "teched" by a mechanic prior to the event.
Everyone with a valid drivers license is welcome. However, some events require entrants to be 18 years of age.
About 10% of track day partricipants are women.
The fun and thrill of track driving is equally appropriate for everyone.
Entrants often alternate sessions with their spouses in the same car.
You will need a "Snell Approved" 2020 helmet
meaning there will be a sticker inside the helmet that says "SA2020".
Most organizers do not allow "M" type motorcycle helmets. Closed face helmets are preferred over open face helmets.
Wear long pants and a long-sleeve shirt; all-natural fibers are recommended. If it's hot, short sleeves are sometimes allowed.
Shoes should be thin-soled sneakers or nomex racing shoes.
You might also want to invest in bright colored nomex racing gloves.
Bring a cooler with plenty of drinking water, sunglasses, hat, suntan lotion, a folding chair, and a tub or duffel bag for your belongings.
The single most important part of your checklist is your brakes. It doesn’t matter how new or old your car is,
in some cases the brake fluid that comes from the factory may not be adequate for track driving.
It is recommended to change the fluid to a high temperature brake fluid but not mandatory. Not a different DOT brake fluid,
but a high-performance brake fluid with a boiling point of around 600 degrees.
Brands commonly used are Castrol SRF, Brembo and Motul 600. Your brake pads should have at least 50% wear left on them
as you will be using your brakes often, and you don’t want to run out of brakes on track.
Invest in 8" or 10" high numbers on both doors. The PCA also requires a 4" number on the rear of the car.
Some will ask you to provide a first, second and third choice of a single, double or triple digit number.
Other organizers realize that you may already have a permanent number, and will allow you to use that.
Arrive without numbers, and you will need to resort to white shoe polish or blue painters tape.
Invest in race track decals because you will want the track photos of your car to look good.
The three types are: Single-Use Vinyl, or Reusable Vinyl, or Magnetic. As soon as your choice of numbers is approved, order them.
You might also want to get matching decals for your helmet.
The most important thing is to relax and have fun. It's normal to be a little nervous the first time, but we know you will have a great time.
This Could Be You on this World-Famous Track!
