    • Open Wheels and Convertibles are allowed.

  • We run RAIN or SHINE. No rain checks/no exceptions. If your car is inoperable and you call 48 hours prior to the event we will issue a one-time courtesy credit good for 90 days.
  • The entry fee is collected per driver. Every driver must pay/register individually.
  • Passing is only allowed when your wheels are straight, and only when the driver being passed gives you a “point by” to indicate that they are prepared for you to pass them.
  • Driving off-course repeatedly, whether intentionally or unintentionally, may end your race day. Respect other drivers on track – we are not racing.
  • Must be 16 or up to track. Under 18 must have MINOR WAIVER everyone else a WAIVER.

Convertibles are allowed on track ONLY if you can pass the “Broomstick Test” AND the below minimum standard checklist:

In motorsport, the “Broomstick Test” is a typical practice to rest a broomstick across the top of the windshield and the roll bar hoop while the occupants are seated in the vehicle to determine whether the roll bar hoop is high enough. If the top of any occupants’ helmet is above this plane, the roll bar is not going to provide sufficient protection.

Sufficient roll bar hoop height can also be an issue for tall drivers; in part because the roll bar hoop is designed by the manufacturer for street use (driving without the additional height of a helmet). It is your responsibility to confirm you have sufficient roll bar height before registering for our events.

  • You understand it is an added risk as when the car is upside down your head may take the impact.
  • If your vehicle has factory rollover protection (see below), or an aftermarket roll bar, then you should be able to pass The FIRM’s Tech inspection and drive on our track.
  • Below is a known list of vehicles with factory rollover protection and aftermarket rollover protection. The FIRM does not endorse, nor will be held liable for any failures of roll bars. If you have any questions, please contact The FIRM before registering for a track event.

If your vehicle is not on the list, it is probably not track ready.  If you believe your car has factory rollover protection, below, are the Acceptable Forms of Documentation which you can email to [email protected] for review:

  1. Factory-produced sales brochures and websites (a link may be sent).
  2. Letters or emails from an employee of the factory. This MUST be on letterhead or use the manufacturer’s domain. The letter must specifically state that the vehicle has rollover protection.
