Rules

• All participants should also be aware of the NASA Arizona region specific Supplemental Rules found here (https://nasaaz.com/nasa-arizona-supplemental-rules/) <-- NOTE: These were updated on 12/13/17 with new changes for 2018 

 

“What time do I need to show up?”
This is the #1 question we are asked, especially by the folks new to NASA. See the event schedule (below or attached) for exact times but we always recommend ~1 hour prior to the drivers meeting (@ 7:30AM) to allow enough time to find a spot, check in with Driver Info (if you’re HPDE1) and get your car through tech and any other last min items before the drivers meeting. 

 

Tech Inspection
All HPDE cars require an onsite tech inspection prior to being allowed on track (1 tech inspection is good for both days). HPDE participants should print and fill out the "HPDE Tech" Form prior to arriving to tech. Race group & Time Trial competitors will use the “Annual Race Car” Tech forms if they haven’t already done their 2018 annual inspection. Forms can be found @ https://www.nasaproracing.com/forms

NOTE: Race group is encouraged to get their renewals done at one of the offsite shops. We can do "renewals" onsite for a fee of $20 (via pre-reg - or cash onsite). Race cars without a logbook are highly encouraged to get their first tech inspection done offsite at a shop. Primarily we ask this is done so that there is an opportunity to fix anything that requires a change. If a safety item is identified onsite, you may not be able to race or even run in TT/HPDE, unless you can also fix it onsite.

 

Driver Information
• Will be located near Grid under the covered awning
• HPDE1 will need to “check in” with registration. All other groups will receive their credentials from their respective Group Leader directly after the Drivers Meeting

 

Loaner Helmets
Don't have your own helmet? No problem, we have you covered! Free loaner helmets are always available at Driver Info.

 

Drivers Meetings / Downloads
The drivers meeting per the schedule is mandatory for ALL drivers, instructors, officials, or anyone that will participate any way shape or form during the weekend. All other meetings times and locations will be announced by your respective Group Leader directly after the drivers meeting.

 

Passengers
Looking to take a passenger along for a ride on track? No problem but there's a few more steps required:
1. Passengers need to be 18 (with photo ID proof of age)
2. Passengers are only allowed in HPDE3, HPDE4 or Time Trial
3. Passengers are required to sign the "Passenger Waiver" (in addition to the general "Gate Waiver") 
4. Pay the $10 fee

 

Transponder Rentals
Need to be checked out at registration 
Need to be returned to registration within 30 mins of your final session to avoid a late fee 
Time Attack competitors: If you rented a transponder for your TA session, it is only available for your TA laps. If you need a transponder for TT or Race group you will be required to pay for a full weekend rental. 

 

Timing and Scoring
Results will be posted on the sign easels at Driver Info. Please report errors to "Driver Info" ASAP so they can get properly corrected. If you own your own transponder, please ensure your membership profile is configured with your TX # (NOTE: T&S downloads that # prior to the event to ease/automate results). Here is a "how 2" --> http://forums.nasaaz.com/showthread.php?t=6996
• Live (real time & archived) T&S @ https://racehero.io/events
• Provisional & Official Results @ http://timingscoring.drivenasa.com/NASA_Arizona_Region/

 

Race & TT Classing
All competitors classing sheets are publicly posted @ http://www.nasaaz.com/category/competition-classing/ 
If you are a competition driver and do not have a classing sheet or Team Declaration showing on this page, please get this information to your respective Series Leader or directly to Jeff Abrams jeff@mazdamaniac.com directly.

 

Water & Soda
The club provides bottled water for staff/volunteers @ registration. That same water is also available to participants and guests @ 2 for $1 using the self serve cash box. Since paying for water is on the honor system, you don't have to take 2 bottles at time. If you want to donate a $1 and take 1 bottle of water and then 1 bottle later that day, that's fine. If there is also soda available in the coolers those are for sale as well for $1 each.

 

Food
Lulu will be at our event providing her usual food service for breakfast and lunch.
NOTE: All admin will get their lunch covered by NASA from the food vendor via their "Officials" or "Instructor" registration.

 

Photography
We typically have multiple people taking pictures and will have their business cards at Driver Info.

 

Fuel
Chevron is about 1/2 mile away just outside the facility gates and has all standard grades of fuel including diesel. Love's is on the other side of the freeway ~1 mile away and also has 100 unleaded and 110 leaded race fuels.

 

Safety Equipment: We Don't Lift (WDL)
Safety Solutions will be onsite to provide our registrants with access to high quality driver safety products as well as accessories for your racecar! Helmets, gloves and shoes are available for fitting. HANS devices available for HPDE Rental (with CC on file).

For someone new to Arizona, how much track time do you end up getting with these HDPE here?  In my old state, we'd get about 5 sessions of about 20 minutes each session.  Those that have done this in the past, is it similar?  Or not?  

  

Also, am I reading this correct?  HDPE does not use timers?  Only Time Attack and Race use transponders?  Average Joe on HDPE do not get transponder timing?
