HPDE / TT INFORMATION:

All HPDE classes (1-4) on Saturday and Sunday.

ALL participants in the TT run group are REQUIRED to have a transponder.


If you have not participated in NASA SoCal HPDE4/TT within the last two years and do not have a valid NASA Competition racing or TT license, you MUST e-mail [email protected] for screening and approval.


Track Placks

NASA competition and HPDE vehicles require clearly visible numbers that meet series size and legibility standards. To help drivers, Track Placks offers integrated number boards designed with compliant numeral sizing and stroke thickness, combined into a single, easy-to-install panel. Drivers can also customize colors, layout, and details while staying within a clean, track-ready format commonly used across NASA.


COMP SCHOOL- Earn your license to RACE!

Ready to go wheel-to-wheel racing? Take this class to get your provisional license. You will learn the nuances of "race craft" to make you comfortable with starts, resumptions, various flag conditions, and what to do when a safety car is on track. You end the weekend with a few practice race starts so you are ready for your first real race upon graduation. Transponders are not required. COMP SCHOOL sessions are NOT TIMED. Please do not rent a transponder. Note- Must be HPDE 4 level driver to enroll. Send driving history to [email protected] and [email protected] after enrollment.


DIGITAL WAIVER:

NASA has moved to a digital waiver system that is required for ALL participants. Upon registering for an event, a text message will be sent to the mobile number configured in your account. Please follow the instructions and sign the digital waiver as soon as you get the text message. There is no need to wait until the day of the event - it can be done immediately. Failure to complete the digital waiver will delay your ability to get on track with your run group. Please make certain the number (1-707-210-0445) is not blocked on your device. We also use this number for keeping drivers updated during the event.


PLEASE NOTE TRANSPONDER RENTAL POLICY: Unfortunately, due to 25% of rented transponders not being returned, we have been forced to implement a $50 penalty on transponders that are not returned to Registration on Sunday, 30 minutes after the last session. On Monday morning, anyone who has a missing transponder will be charged $100 to their credit card on file. If the transponder is not returned to NASA SoCal (see Contacts page for address) by the Wednesday after the event, a replacement fee of $500 will be charged.


Also please note that transponders are not rented to HPDE1 and 2 groups as they are not timed but are REQUIRED in TT and the race groups. There are no refunds or credits for transponder rentals. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
