In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, every attempt will be made to minimize the risks of exposure to the virus for all of our participants and our staff. 

It is your responsibility to assess the risk to you, both on-track and off, and to make the decision on whether to participate in this event. If you are feeling unwell or are experiencing any symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath, please contact Jack Track regarding your entry and stay home. If you have been in contact with someone who has been experiencing these symptoms in the last two weeks, please contact Jack Track regarding your entry and stay home.

Please take this seriously. Everyone has different concerns about the risk of infection, and it is important to take everyone's feelings into consideration. The approach we are taking and asking you to join us in is much in alignment with our "same team" approach. Just as your safety and well-being on track depend on everyone working together, the same applies in the paddock as well. As such, we ask that everyone respect the health concerns of others, whether you share them or not.

While on-site please take the health and safety of your fellow participants, volunteers, and staff into consideration and practice social distancing, wear a mask, and wash your hands, and/or use hand sanitizer frequently. All attendees and staff will be required to wear a face-covering (mask, bandana, balaclava, etc.) any time they are outside of their own vehicle or personal parking spot.

Recently chosen as one of Car and Driver Magazine’s top six road courses in the nation, VIRginia International Raceway is a multi-purpose road course offering professional and amateur auto and motorcycle racing, as well as a wide range of track events. Each year, VIR draws tens of thousands of spectators for some of the best road racing in the country. Its uphill Esses and sharp elevation changes not only make it a fan and driver favorite but have also established it as a prominent testing facility for the automotive industry.

 

TRACK SPECIFIC RULES  

  • An SA2010, SA2015 or SA2020 helmet is required for this event. No other helmets will be permitted. 
  • All convertible vehicles must be equipped with an appropriate roll bar for this event. Note from VIR: Many manufacturers’ roll hoops, roll bars designed for street use (non-racing), as well as roll bars that terminate below the top of the operator’s helmet, shall not be approved. Factory or aftermarket hardtops are not considered to be rollover protection. 
  • Like all Track Nights, this is an event for streetcars. If you have a waiver from Jack Track to bring a car that is not a streetcar or legally plated kit car, the track has additional safety requirements that the driver must wear a one-piece SFI or FIA-rated driver's suit with a minimum of two layers.

    Ok, I just saw that participants must be registered by 2 pm 5/18. I just got the "All You Need TO Know"  e-mail from SCCA at 2:18 pm today. My son is  my crew and will be a "participant" . Please inform how I can register him as a participant?!!!

    Kathleen Barnes

    Please register him as a Track Tours participant.  THERE IS NOT CHARGE.

    John S.

    Ok I registered my son and I can't find the VIR event to register him fro Track Touring Laps!!!!

    Demitri D.

    Kathleen, I registered my son as a SCCA member but can not see where I can register him for touring laps. It look like touring lap registration is shut down!! Please inform. I am bringing him and need clarification. 

    Paul Heathman

    Okay, All is good. I just received my email regarding the event. That will work fine .

    Do not cancel my registration. Paul Heathman

    Paul Heathman

    I ran AMP and CMP  this season and had one crew . If I can not bring one crew can I please cancel and get a credit for future events ? Please respond to my email.

    paulheathman1@gmail.com

    Thank you

    Paul Heathman

    I plan on bringing one crew to assist getting my car off and on the trailer and assisting with the car between runs. Also assisting with the almost 5 hour drive home after. Are you saying he will not be allowed on the site,?

    With the recent Covid changes, please reconsider. I never would have registered for an event so far away if I had known this.

    Will there be fuel available on-site for this event?  If so, will all grades be available and will access be allowed to the North Paddock since it appears this event will be in the South Paddock.  Thanks.

    Hello Craig, 

    Gas is available at the North/Main Paddock.  I would suspect the only reason there may be a gas issue is if VIR had a bunch of events prior to TNIA.
