The nature of the track at Lime Rock is such that run time may be reduced at this event, but we will nonetheless provide the most possible track time to all registrants. Track incidents, weather, and other circumstances beyond MNY PCA's control may also reduce track time. The track will be shared with another group, with MNY PCA alternating hours on track beginning at 10AM on Friday and 9AM on Saturday. Some proceeds from this event will go to PCA Metro NY's 2024 Charity: Malcolm Pray Achievement Center, helping young people drive towards success YOU HAVE NOT REGISTERED UNTIL YOU HAVE PAID IN FULL, SIGNED AND VERIFIED THE ONLINE WAIVER, AND RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION E-MAIL.

SAFETY… Pre-event tech inspection must be completed by a PCA Region approved tech site within 30 days of event using the current Metro NY PCA Tech Form. It is mandatory for all Boxsters, Cabriolets, Roadsters and Speedsters to have roll bars that meet minimum height requirements. **LIME ROCK PARK REQUIRES ROLLOVER PROTECTION TO BE DEPLOYED WHEN ON TRACK** Open cars must be equipped with a roll bar meeting the following specifications: (i) the roll bar must be of sufficient height to ensure that the top of the driver’s helmet sits below the line from the top of the roll bar to the top of the windshield (commonly referred to as the “broomstick test”) and; (ii) the roll bar must be fixed and visible at all times when the vehicle is on the track. Snell 2015 or newer helmets are required. If your car has aftermarket 5 or 6 Point Harnesses, the webbing must not have an expired date on the manufacturer tag. Most webbing expires after 5 years from date of production. If you are running a 5 or 6 point harness, you are now REQUIRED to use a head and neck restraint device that meets the standards of either SFI 38.1 or FIA 8858. PLEASE DO NOT register with a hybrid or electric vehicle until you have contacted the Registrar and been approved to participate with that vehicle. Significant safety concerns with electric vehicles mean some tracks and track organizations have banned them outright. We cannot provide full refunds to those who register with electric vehicles without first gaining approval from the registrar. Metro NY PCA sponsors this event as a driver’s education. It is not a race or a race school. We encourage all participants to enjoy the experience and bring a mature, cooperative, and not overly aggressive attitude to the event. Participants engaging in inappropriate actions are subject to having their registration canceled, at the sole discretion of Metro NY PCA. |
