Saturday June 27 - Sunday June 28, 2026 METRO NY PCA PALMER MOTORSPORTS PARK Safer=>Better=>Faster **Driver EDUCATION; Registration open to all drivers.** All marques welcome on track. See note below on hybrid and electric vehicles and 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. 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 may go to PCA Metro NY's 2026 charity, General Needs LTD. Please consider donating through the event Options section. ***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… Instructed Student Groups: Green Group: Beginning Student Yellow Group: Advanced Student Solo Groups: Blue Group: Beginning Solo Driver White Group: Intermediate Solo Driver Black Group: Advanced Solo Driver Instructor Groups: Black Group Instructor (Regional PCA Instructor) Red Group Instructor (National PCA Instructor) PLEASE contact us BEFORE registering if you do not KNOW your Run Group with MNY PCA. **IF YOU HAVE NOT INSTRUCTED WITH US WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE REGISTERING AS AN INSTRUCTOR!** We expect INSTRUCTORS to have CARS with TWO SEATS and equal restraints. All STUDENT DRIVERS will start out on the waiting list until instructor assignments can be made. Students are confirmed on a first come, first serve basis based on time of payment. PLEASE CHECK THE EVENT ROSTER TO SEE YOUR STATUS. SOLO 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 are likely to be given a courtesy welcome session with an instructor to help confirm run group placement. Please remember: Run Group assignment is solely at the discretion of MNY PCA. INSTRUCTOR fees only apply for approved Metro NY PCA Instructors and PCA Nationally Trained Instructors who are actively instructing at the DE. There is a limit on Instructor registrations at the instructor rate. Once the limit is reached, instructors will be placed on a Wait List, or they may register as Black Solo drivers. If they are then asked to instruct, the fee difference will be refunded (less the CC charge). It is solely at the discretion of MNY PCA whether a person is allowed to instruct at its events, regardless of the individual's experience and qualifications. 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 6/21. NO REFUNDS AFTER 6/12. We no longer allow car sharing in the same run group. If wish to share a car you MUST make the Registrar aware of this before registering. 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) rollover protection must be sufficient to protect passengers in a rollover event. Snell SA2020 or newer helmets are required. Helmets should be full face with visor closed while on track. Open face helmets are strongly discouraged. Open face helmets may only be used in cars with stock restraints and operational factory airbags. 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 or a 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, SUVs, or 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. |
