Vehicle Inspection:

It is best to perform a full inspection of your car in advance of your track day. This way there are no surprises at the track. If you are not able to do this yourself, please have your vehicle inspected by a Automotive Service Technician with knowledge of the demands expected when driving on the race track.

The responsibility is on the participant to ensure that the car's and driver’s equipment is track worthy and complies with all rules and regulations. The very act of presenting a car for any technical inspection is deemed to be an acceptance of this responsibility.

-Brake rotors are not cracked
-Steering components are tight
-No loose suspension components (Ball-joints, bushings)
-No leaking fluids
-Battery is secure
-Throttle is not sticking
-No loose items in the car
