Novices
In addition to the requirements in the regulations, all drivers must have some previous performance driving experience (e.g. autocross, time trials, lapping, performance driving school, etc.). Instruction will be available at the June 2 and July 8 events only. Novices must attend the classroom session which will be held at the Raceway on the morning of each event. The classroom session covers the rules of a track day event, safety concerns, passing rules and mental preparation for track driving. Novices are not allowed to carry passengers except for an instructor. A novice is defined as a driver who has participated in 3 or fewer track days.
Format
Standard: For the June 2 and July 8 events, drivers are grouped by experience level and run in separate sessions. Each session runs for a fixed time duration.
Open Lapping: The September 23 event is open to drivers with previous track day experience only. There will be no instruction available. Drivers who have not attended a previous VCMC track day must provide proof of experience. This event is not open to novice drivers.
Under the open lapping format, drivers are not divided into groups. Instead, drivers will be permitted to enter and leave the track at their own discretion throughout the day. The course marshal will limit the number of cars on track at any given time. Drivers will be expected to observe reasonable time limits for each session.
Vehicle Requirements
Vehicles must undergo a compliance check at the track before being permitted to run. This is not a full mechanical inspection. It is ultimately the driver's responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is safe and meets all of the requirements.
Convertibles with OEM hoops (e.g. NC Miata & S2000): hardtop and/or approved roll over protection devices are highly recommended
All other convertibles (e.g. NA/NB Miata): hardtop and/or approved roll over protection devices are REQUIRED
