METRO NY PCA at WATKINS GLEN INTERNATIONAL Registration is strictly limited to 40 drivers per run group. **Driver EDUCATION; Registration open to all SOLO drivers.** All marques welcome on track. PCA CLUB RACERS WELCOME! See note below on hybrid and electric vehicles, SUVs and Trucks. YOU HAVE NOT REGISTERED UNTIL YOU HAVE PAID IN FULL, SIGNED AND VERIFIED THE ONLINE WAIVER, AND RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION E-MAIL. PLEASE register early and SAVE. A supplementary registration fee of $50.00 will be applied to payments made within 14 days of the DE. Metro NY PCA limits the number of registrants with the aim of providing an intimate, high-value, social DE experience in which MNY PCA seeks to maximize track run time for every registrant. By submitting your registration application you agree that you have read and acceded to all terms and conditions of the event as expressed in the registration forms and/or on ClubRegistration.net. Some proceeds from this event will go to PCA Metro NY's 2025 charity. ***PCA MEMBERS: BE SURE MEMBERSHIP NUMBER IS CORRECTLY ENTERED IN YOUR CLUB REGISTRATION PROFILE in MY ACCOUNT edit MY MEMBERSHIPS*** PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY. RUN GROUPS & REGISTRATION… Group A: open to Black and Red Run Group (Advanced) drivers and PCA Club Racers driving faster / more powerful cars. Group B: open to Blue (MNY solo) and White Run Group (Intermediate) drivers and PCA Club Racers driving moderate / less powerful cars. Registrar and CI will determine run group assignment and may make changes during the event based on demonstrated ability. PLEASE contact us BEFORE registering if you do not KNOW your Run Group with MNY PCA. Drivers who have never run with MNY PCA, who have not been on track for a long time, or who have never visited the track at which the DE is taking place may be given a courtesy welcome session with an instructor to help confirm run group placement. We will not have access to the garages at this event. We expect to be using the North Paddock (near the media center). We expect to be on track from 5:30PM to 8:30PM both days. There will be adequate light and the facility will have cooled pleasantly. We expect the schedule will include alternating sessions maximizing run time and car adjustment time for all participants. Payment must be received within 5 days of registration to hold your spot (or 7 days prior to event; whichever comes first). You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your registration. If you have not received notification one week prior to the event, please contact the event chair or registrar (metronypcade@gmail.com). Registration cannot be completed if payment is not received. Registration closes on 05/31. NO REFUNDS AFTER 05/20. Driver is responsible for any/all track damage they may cause. Only registered drivers are permitted on the track. Registered drivers MUST be 18 years of age and over, and have a valid driver's license. No passengers are allowed other than registered event instructors. No more than two occupants may be in a car on track. A driver is permitted on the track only during his/her assigned run group. 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. Open cars must be equipped with roll-over protection 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. 2025 is the last season for Snell 2015 equipment. 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 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 or an SUV/Truck 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 hybrids, electric vehicles, or SUVs/Trucks 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. |
