Safety Check

Safety Check

Every vehicle has to complete a basic Safety Check before you are allowed out on the track. This is for your safety, and the safety of those around you on the track. Scrutineering will take place on Friday for Drift and Time Attack competitors wanting to qualify. For Rollin Hard, Gymkhana BYOC the tech will take place on Saturday Morning. Once your car has passed, you'll receive your vehicle registration number/stickers.  You will need to attend the drivers briefing to get the wrist bands which permit track access - please read your final event notes for your briefing time and location which will be issued closer to event date.

If you miss out on registration/safety check times, you will not be allowed onto the track. No exceptions and no refunds!
