Car Classing & Safety
All 2026 SCCA Solo rules apply. If you’re unsure about your car’s class, don’t worry! You can now select the “I Don’t Know” option during registration, and our team will help you figure it out. You can also message us on Facebook if you have questions.
An approved SNELL-rated helmet is required. If you don’t have one, we have a limited number of loaner helmets available. Check out our FAQs page for more details.

Schedule & Arrival

Friday: Gates open from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM for early vehicle unloading and course walking.
Saturday & Sunday: We recommend arriving by 8:00 AM to have plenty of time to get your vehicle ready and walk the course.

A detailed schedule can be found below, so be sure to check it for specific times and activities throughout the weekend.

Tech Inspection & Driver’s Meeting
Tech inspection is available both days, but if you’re participating both Saturday and Sunday, you only need to go through tech on Saturday. Both tech inspection and the Driver’s Meeting are required to participate.

Lunch & Spectating
We’ll have an hour lunch break each day. There are fast food options 7-10 minutes from the airport, or you’re welcome to bring your own food.
Friends and family are welcome! Spectating is free, so bring your crew to cheer you on.
