While Registration for the PDX is available at the track, online entries must be received by Noon, Wednesday, Nov 7. Make checks payable to “SCCA – Atlanta”. Your entry fee will be returned in the event that you are unable to attend. Entry fee checks will not be deposited until after the event. A $25.00 charge will be assessed for each returned check.

3. Vehicle Requirements: All vehicles must pass a basic tech inspection before entering the track (section 11.2 of the TTR). The TTR roll structure requirements are waived for all street legal vehicles except Convertibles and Targa top automobiles. These cars must have either a roll bar meeting Section 18 of the TTR or a factory hard top using the factory mounting hardware and mounting points. Vehicles that are not street legal cars must be eligible for classification in the GCR classes of Showroom Stock, Touring, or Improved Touring, or the Solo classes of Stock, Street Touring, Street Prepared, or Street Mod. Cars exceeding these levels of preparation are NOT allowed to participate at this event.

4. Driver Requirements: TT Participation Logs will be available at both Saturday and Sunday’s Driver’s/Instructor’s Meetings. Attendance is required at one of those meetings and roll will be taken. Minimum apparel is long pants, long sleeved shirts, shoes that cover the foot at least to the ankle, and helmets which meet Snell 2000 or better standards. In the case of non street legal vehicles, it is recommended that the student be fully covered by at least one layer of an accepted fire resistant material (list in TTR Section 17.23).

5. Instructors: For this event, all new participants and those not signed off by their previous instructors will be required to have an instructor ride along with them. Drivers that have been previously signed off can request that an instructor ride along if they wish. All the instructors will have an SCCA road racing license and therefore HAVE been around the track one or more times. Pay attention to what your instructor has to say as if your future sign-off is riding on it (because it is).

7. Rules of the Road:

• This is NOT a competition event or a racing school.
• Racing and overly aggressive driving will NOT be tolerated.
• Timing of student cars is not permitted. This is not a race experience.
• Passing is only allowed in designated areas and shall only occur after a clear signal is given. The passing zones will be discussed further in the Driver’s meeting, but they are from the exit of Turn 7 until the ‘200’ marker at Turn 10A, then the exit of Turn 12 thru the ‘100’ marker for Turn 1. For Group 3 ONLY (Advanced Students previously signed off by their instructors), the area from Turn 5 thru Turn 6 is also open for passing with a clear point-by from the overtaken driver.
• When slowing to enter pit road, the driver shall signal by raising her/his arm out the window with clenched fist and pull over to the left side of the track under the Nissan bridge. Following cars not exiting the track may pass an exiting car very carefully on the right.
• Two tires off the track surface, spins and/or overly aggressive driving will result in a black flag. A second offense by the same driver will result in the entire session being black flagged and we’ll tell your fellow participants why their session was shortened.

8. Flags and Their Meanings:

Yellow, standing – Something has happened ahead of you, but is off the track surface. Absolutely no passing. A yellow flag may be displayed for the first two laps of a session to allow all cars (and drivers - to warm up).

Yellow, waving – Something has happened ahead of you and is blocking at least some of the track surface.  Slow down and be prepared to take evasive action or stop. Absolutely no passing.

Red & yellow, striped – There is debris on the track ahead, possibly oil, coolant, dirt, an errant animal and/or parts of a fellow driver’s car. Be prepared to respond accordingly.

Red – Stop as quickly as safely possible, pull to the side of the track to allow maximum room for emergency vehicles, stay in your car and await instructions from a corner worker. We REALLY don’t want to show this flag!

Blue / yellow stripe – A faster car is following. Allow it to pass at the next passing zone. Acknowledge the blue flag with a small wave to both the worker and the following car. This courtesy prevents tailgating, mirror driving, and promotes safety.

Black – Enter the pits at the next opportunity to consult with an event official.

Black with red/orange center (“meatball”) – There is something wrong with your car. Proceed carefully to the pits to find out what.

Checkered - Will only be shown on driver’s left at the entrance to Turn 1 (Pit Out). The session is over. Proceed on a cool-off lap by slowing down and using the brakes as little as is safe. Allow your car and yourself to cool down and relax. Proceed to pit lane.
