Additional Drivers can bring a second vehicle, or share a vehicle. The second driver gets a $20 discount on their registration. Simply select an additional driver from the drop down selection above and add to cart.
Are spectators allowed?
Spectators are allowed. Each person that comes to watch must check-in at the same location as you and sign the waiver. They will be provided with a spectator ONLY wristband.
What vehicle can I bring?
This event is open to any street legal EV vehicle. You can even bring out an open wheel/non street legal vehicle like the Sierra Car ECHO. Open wheel and convertible vehicles must have a roll cage.
Every car must pass a self tech checkoff prior to the event. A separate EV waiver is also required to get on course.
Does my auto insurance cover this event?
We recommend you check with your insurance agent prior to the event. Ask your agent for a list of exclusions in your policy. Tell your agent you are taking a driving skills education, on a closed course.
The event carries event insurance that covers damage caused to the facility or surfaces. Like all racing events, this insurance does not cover damage to your vehicle if you hit something or otherwise damage your vehicle.
You can purchase track day insurance from a 3rd party vendor if you want to be sure that your vehicle is covered.
That said, we are driving in a controlled environment, at safe speeds, with oversight by driving instructors. There should be no reason to crash your vehicle! Body damage to cars rarely occurs.
