El Toro official rules

[Bill Howell]

OK, for those that have asked, I have written the official rules for participating in the racing portion of the event.
Guys, these are pretty simple, but will be inforced. PLEASE, this is a racing event, have your car ready to go when you get there. I don't have time to hunt down a strap to get your battery secure.
Thanks,


To participate in the racing event at El Toro, you must comply with the following rules.
1. Tire Wear rating has to be 200 or greater. While you can complete with a TW of 199 or less, you will be disqualified from completing for win, or points.
2. All cars are required to have some form of seatbelts for driver and any passengers. While factory belts are a minimum, we perfer 5 point belts, for your safety.
3. No floormats, or anything lose allowed in passenger or trunk compartments during race. No exceptions, please have your car properly prepared before tech so you will not be held up and we will not waste time having to recheck your car.
4. Brake pedal will be checked for proper pedal pressure, car must have all lugs and lugnuts on wheels, batteries must be clamped in properly.
5. Cars must have working lights, tag and insurance. have proper paperwork ready when in tech.
6. Helmets are required for all drivers and riders. Don't ask, you must have them to be in car on track. Also, remind all riders to keep hands, arms, etc inside car at all times.
7. Tech will consist of a general check of car to be sure it is safe for track time. Any decision by tech is final. If you know our car has a questionable issue, ask now or fix it. We can not risk a questionable car, you will simply be asked to not participate.

8. PLEASE EVERYONE READ THIS CAREFULLY!
a. ONLY one driver per car, if you are participating for the win and points. IF you simply have your car there and letting everyone drive that is fine, but let us know that is the deal so we can score it that way. The only exception to this rule is this. We are having a MEDIA/VENDOR class running that day also. Your car can run in both classes, with different drivers, as long as you have paid for the regular class and we KNOW who is doing the driving duties for each class. You will be responsible to see that the proper number is being displayed every run or your car will not get proper credits.
b. ONLY one car per driver, if you are completing for win and points. IT is OK to drive more than one car in the competition, however, you must let us know which car you are running in for the win. Any other car you drive will be for exhibition only and no points will be scored in it. In other words, you can not come in first and second in a competition, only one car for scoring purposes.

If you are going to buy one, I suggest one that meets SCCA regulations so you can compete there to, however, all I require is a helmet. A used motorcycle helmet is ok if you can borrow one or have one.

[DFRESH]

Guys, I will be bringing a spare helmet for ride alongs---if you don't have one you are welcome to use this one while you are racing---I may need it once or twice during the day incase my hot bodied chick (wife) wants to go for a ride.

[Bill Howell]

Yes, open face is fine.

Have a dozen or so helmets that we use for track days and can bring those out as well. Also have head socks to keep the last guys "stylin gel" from becoming yours.

Car owners aren't required to drive their own cars?

[Cdog]

Are most people wearing full race suits or is this more casual?

[Nessumsar]

I can't speak for everyone, but I would expect to see very few (if any) racing suits.

[aray327]

Does anyone know what time to be there?

[mpozzi]

Pretty early for Saturday's festivities and Bill posted the time somewhere else. I think it's 7am for sign-in with first car doing something around 8am.

Who's bringing the Coffee??

1 - 2 - 3 - Not it! *touches nose*


Sounds like this Saturday morning will be sponsored by Starbucks coffee... well, more like my wallet sponsoring a Starbucks coffee.

[mpozzi]

Come to think of it, there is a Starbucks pretty close by. I may rent my cuppa 'Bucks (leaded Americano and leave room for cream) early Saturday as well.
