Rules

All participants are expected to adhere to the NASA Club Codes & Regulations found here (https://members.drivenasa.com/rules/ccr.pdf)

All participants need to also be aware of the NASA Arizona region specific Supplemental Rules found here (https://nasaaz.com/nasa-arizona-supplemental-rules/)

NOTE: Attesa management also requested us to inform all participants that they do not allow Drones. They also warn of iPhone 14+ phones on track due to the ability to automatically deploy an ambo if the phone detects an accident.

“What time do I need to show up?”

This is the #1 question we are asked, especially by the folks new to NASA. See the event schedule (below or attached) for exact times but we recommend 45-60 mins prior to the drivers meeting (@ 7:30AM) to allow enough time to find a spot, check in with Driver Info (if you’re HPDE1) and get your car through tech and any other last min items before the drivers meeting.

Tech Inspection

All HPDE cars require an onsite tech inspection prior to being allowed on track (1 tech inspection is good for both days). HPDE participants should print and fill out the "HPDE Tech" Form prior to arriving to tech. Race group & Time Trial competitors will use the “Annual Race Car” Tech forms if they haven’t already done their annual inspection. Forms can be found @ Forms - NASA (drivenasa.com)

Race car annual "renewals" can be done onsite for a fee of $20 (via pre-reg or cash onsite). Race cars without a logbook are highly encouraged to get their first tech inspection done offsite at a shop so that there is an opportunity to fix any found not in compliance. If a safety item is identified onsite, you may not be able to drive.

NOTE: Annual Tech will be available on Fri afternoon (2-5PM) and all day Sat & Sun.

Driver Information

Will be located just South of the metal shipping containers near track entrance.

Rental Helmets

Rental helmets are available @ $20/day which will be available for registered drivers first. Helmet rentals for passengers will be on a 1st come 1st served basis after the Drivers Meeting.

Drivers Meetings / Downloads

The Sat AM drivers meeting is mandatory for ALL drivers, instructors, officials/admin. All other meeting times and locations will be announced by your respective Group Leader directly after the drivers meeting.

3. Passengers are required to sign the "Passenger Waiver" (in addition to the general "Gate Waiver")
