attend the driver’s meeting, which begins promptly at 9am.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - FAQ
-
What happens if its raining or rain is forecasted? The Flat Out Days are not cancelled due to
rain. In many ways, it’s an advantage to drive in the rain…
especially for the comparatively inexperienced driver.
Driving on a road course may be likened to a football game
with respect to weather… a somewhat more challenging
environment… not a “show stopper.”
-
Am I allowed to take a passenger out on the track? Drivers are not permitted to take passengers
onto the track, regardless of whether the passenger is a
registered participant. Only Flat Out Instructors are
permitted to have passengers accompany them during an
on-track session.
-
Can I have a camcorder in my car? Camcorders are permitted provided that they are secured on a
commercial mount. Hand-held cameras are not permitted.
-
Must my drivers-side window be open?
Yes… it must be fully open at all times while on the track
so that you can make the required signals.
-
Must my passenger-side window be open?
No… it can be fully open or fully closed but not somewhere
in between.
-
Can I split my registration so that another driver and I can
alternate sessions?
No… the instructional and safety aspects of the program
cannot accommodate this.
-
My car is broken down (or I have to leave early)… can my
friend run my remaining sessions?
No… the instructional and safety aspects of the program
cannot accommodate this.
