As a rookie to racing in the USA I wonder if someone could list everything I'll need to do prior to a race - race entry forms, any other forms that need to be filled out, car log book, tech procedure etc etc.
I've raced for years in the UK where the form is:
Fill out race entry form at least two weeks before race.
Receive timetable, additional regs, truck/trailer and team passes the week leading up to race.
Race day - sign on at race control with license (I already have an SCCA regional) and club membership card (races are regulated by the RAC Motorsports Association but run by the series organising club).
Tech or scrutineering as we call it takes place early race day morning. I guess it's the same here - safety check of car, fire suit, helmet and sometimes specific regulation checks particular to your class.
Mandatory drivers briefing
Sit around and wait for qualifying.
Tech afterwards for top 6 cars.
Sit around and wait for race.
Tech afterwards for top 3.
Other than my SCCA license and log book (something I'm not familiar with as we don't have them in the UK) what other documentation will I need?
I hope this isn't too much to ask! My car is very close to running and my first race should be towards the end of July at Road Atlanta. Maybe sooner but I want to get some mileage under my belt first.
Many thanks in advance.
