Event requirements
Entrants must be 18 or older and possess a valid drivers license.
All marques are welcome, it's not just for Porsches. PCA club membership is not required.
We also accept qualified instructors from other groups such as BMWCCA, NASA, SCCA, etc.
Note: no Open faced helmets - must be a Full Face helmet with Shield - no glasses or goggles. This is a NJ State Law requirement.
Equal restraints must be provided for cars in the instructed groups. This means if you have 5 point harness for you, there must also be one for your instructor/passenger seat.
Please Note: if a car has a 5 or 6 point harness system the driver (and any passenger, i.e. instructor) is required to wear a Hans device.
All cars must have a technical inspection done by an approved tech facility before the event. This inspection must be done within 4 weeks of the event. We do a grid tech every morning of the event but this does not substitute for the pre-event inspection. Any cars that show up at the track without a pre-event inspection will be refused entry into the event and no refunds provided. An inspection form will be provided on our website. If you have a tech inspection done and then participate in another track event before our weekend, you must have a new tech inspection done.
Convertibles are allowed with factory rollbars extended - must pass the broomstick test
Convertibles must run with the top up, roll hoops must be extended and pass the broomstick test, as do convertibles with aftermarket roll bars.
Convertibles who want to run with the top down can do so as long as they use arm restraints.
No drones allowed to fly on site. Sorry, but it's NJMP's policy. Violators will be asked to leave the property.

From: Alex Bell, PCA National DE Chair (997.alex@gmail.com) --What this means to the Delaware Region, is if your car has one of these systems and it can not be turned off, your registration will not be accepted. It is your responsibility to determine this. If we discover your car has one of these system at track tech and it can't be switched off, you will be excluded from the event. Find out way before you get to the track for everybody's sake. |
Run groups will be assigned by the chief instructors based upon your request. However, if the chief instructors do not know your track experience, a confirmation from your club's chief instructor is required. Please make sure your experience is fully documented in your MSR profile. The Delaware region Chief Instructors have final discretion.
For those who are not familiar with our run group color code:
| Green | Instructed group, novice and limited or no previous track experience |
| Blue | Instructed group, have some track experience but is not signed off to solo. We do have a very limited number of Blue Solo slots. |
| White | Not instructed (Solo) group, must have been previously promoted to solo group, not just 'signed off to solo' at last event |
| Black & Red | Advanced and Instructor groups, the difference between Red and Black is primarily the speed potential of the cars, with the faster cars in Red |
If you have a question on which run group to choose, please ask the registrar.
