You will sign up for Novice,\u00a0 Intermediate, or Advanced, depending on your skill level and experience. Advanced Group is for experienced drivers with 18+ track days\/racing experience or equivalent. Intermediate Group is for drivers with a minimum of 8 track days experience, and Novice Group will be for drivers with at least 1 track day of prior experience.\u00a0 Sign-up for whichever group is appropriate for your experience level. Since the group size is limited by Laguna Seca, it may be difficult to switch to another group if you feel uncomfortable or if you signed-up for the wrong run group.\u00a0 Open wheeled cars will be allowed only in the Advanced Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rnair\/20836695380\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/640\/20836695380_1e42de1a55.jpg\" alt=\"GBMA0815\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware that Laguna Seca will strictly enforce the 90dB sound limit. If you have a loud exhaust or intake, you should take appropriate measures to ensure you pass the sound meter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each driver is responsible for ensuring that his car is in proper track condition.&nbsp; We will not conduct a regular tech inspection of everyone\u2019s cars but we will take a close look at any car that appears to be poorly maintained or that we receive reports about. Any cars with significant body damage or missing paint are likely to be subjected to an inspection.&nbsp; Lemon\u2019s and similar race cars are welcome at our events, but if you bring one, then you should expect us to visit your pit and make a close inspection of your car.&nbsp; Anything that we feel is unsafe or likely to cause your car to break on-track will be reason for disqualification.&nbsp; BIG no-nos include sketchy fuel lines, any fuel or water leaks, moderate or larger oil leaks, loose parts, cord showing or nearly showing thru tires.&nbsp; Of course there are many other issues that could disqualify you as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For drivers experiencing mechanical failures that result in dropping oil on the track, damage to track property such as broken brake markers, etc., and deployment of the fire truck which results in any additional charges to us for clean-up, repair to track property, etc., we will consider whether to pass on these additional costs to the responsible driver on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rnair\/103721899\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/27\/103721899_1354268906.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that we will be making some adjustments to our normal track day due to the Coronavirus. Also, be prepared to jump through some Monterey County hoops to comply with their Covid requirements. We will do our best to keep you up to date on what those are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. There will be no beginner spots available since this would require us to put a coach in your passenger seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. There will likely be no type of in-person sign-up at the track and we will conduct a \u201cvirtual driver\u2019s meeting\u201d by email.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. You should expect to receive an email a few days before the event that will explain all the exciting stuff that you would normally hear at our regular meeting&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;and you are required to read the WHOLE THING.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. At the track we will also likely conduct a brief \u201cmeeting\u201d over the PA system with some important details and updates that you must listen to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. We will not be supplying any coffee, munchies, etc. and we will not have our large shade structure for everybody to hang out under.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Everyone must maintain appropriate social distance of 6\u2019 from persons whom you don\u2019t live with and\/or didn\u2019t ride up in the same car.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Each person must bring a face covering so that it will be available in case they need to interact with others at close range.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportreg.com\/events\/laguna-seca-open-track-day-march-29-2021-weathertech-raceway-golden-gate-800467\">Click here<\/a> to sign up via MotorsportsReg.
