Open Track at SAAC-37
SAAC’s High Speed Event at Watkins Glen International Raceway will be NOT similar in concept to the open track events held at past national conventions. We are holding this event in conjunction with the Sportscar Vintage Race Association and we are sharing the race track with them on Thursday and Friday only. We will be on the track in the morning and the SVRA will be on the track in the afternoon. The SAAC vintage racers will practice with the SVRA Group 6, but will have a separate race on Friday afternoon.
As an Open Track participant, you'll get your pit parking in the Paddock with all the racers. Your car will be given a Tech Inspection by the club's team of experienced racers and you must meet the minimum requirements for safety equipment. All cars must have a number on both sides (adhesive numbers or tape is acceptable). Drivers must have a helmet with the correct Snell rating.
Open Track registration can be a Single Day pass or 2-Day package.
You must attend a Daily drivers meeting to review track conditions, rules of the road and any updates. The Open Track Schedule shows that each day has FOUR twenty minute sessions per run group. Run groups are sorted by beginner, intermediate and advanced.
Spots will be allocated in a first-come/first-served basis. Open Track will run on Thursday and Friday. The entry fee is $250 per day. Two drivers may share a car; the entry fee is based on the car, not the number of drivers. SAAC will run rain or shine; no refunds for less than perfect weather. Leaded and unleaded race gas is available at the track; pumps accept credit cards and will be accessible all day.
Run Group assignments will be made based on the experience level of the driver(s), as indicated on the Registration Form.
SAAC expects that all spots will be taken by the time the convention begins, so Advance Registration is encouraged.
