I am confirmed for this event and very excited! I live in Bethesda. Where should I go to have my car inspected? Also, where can I obtain a copy of the tech inspection form that needs to be completed?

Thanks.

So....when do we find out what time the fun starts? Got a tight schedule, could really use a heads up about what time everything starts on Saturday and ends on Sunday. Questions through MSReg are yielding *crickets*, so I'm not sure if I did that right. Also, I heard that helmets can be rented - are they at the track for rent, or do I need to bring with me to Summit Point?

I'm coming in from out of town, where should I stay? Any host hotels or discounted rates?

You need to arrive, unload your car (everything....glove box, tools set, spare tire, floor mats etc etc etc) and then go into the Tech Inspection line with your helmet and your completed Tech form. Tech inspection begins at 7:00AM and I recommend being in line no later than 7:30. The later you get in line - usually the longer it is. Then you take your forms into the classroom and turn them in, sign the waiver, get the schedule and your numbers etc. There may be a short line there. Driver's Meeting is at 8:00AM - so you want to get all that wrapped up and in the classroom by 8:00.

End time Sunday depends on which group you are in. Last group usually ends at 4:30. If you are renting a helmet - you need to bring it with you to Summit. Call OG Racing.

Unless things have changed, I would not remove the spare tire as long as it's secured. Some cars that is part of the safety in the event of a collision. And tool kits, I've never had anything become loose. I always leave them unless something is not secured. Floor mats, glove box, window pockets, sure. Don't want anything sliding around.

But whatever the Chief of Tech says, goes.
