This year PCA will be performing Safety Inspection the morning of the autocross at the autocross site. Please prepare your vehicle prior to the Safety Tech Inspection, if there is an issue with the participates vehicle or safety gear they will be moved out of the staging area to fix the issue.
It is the sole responsibility of each competitor to present a vehicle that is safe to operate in a competitive event and is in sound mechanical condition. Safety inspection by PCA volunteers does not relieve a competitor of their responsibility for the safety of the vehicle they have entered.
Note: all vehicle’s trunk’s or bonnet & interior must be empty prior to Tech Inspections and during the autocross.
Safety Tech Inspections will be performed at the Autocross site between 6:00-7:00 am in your reserved parking space the morning of the day that you run. Before you may walk the course that morning, your car must be parked “ready for inspection” with the hood and trunk lids open, with your Snell 2010 or later helmet on the front seat for inspection, and with your Parade car numbers properly mounted.
Also, Safety Tech Chair, Howard Gilson, will be onsite to assist with any Tech issues that may arise up until 12:30 pm Wednesday and Thursday.
All vehicle Safety Inspections will be done at the autocross site prior to participating in the autocross, vehicles must have a Tech Sticker to participate. We cannot emphasize this enough - please have your vehicle ready for and safety inspection prior to staging your vehicle for the autocross.
Safety Inspection Volunteers will check the following: Wheel Torque Safety Gear Wheel and Tires Brakes Battery Fluid Levels / Check for Fluid Leaks Belts Other Items Listed on the Safety Inspection Form (see below)
Participants are responsible for all item on the Safety Inspection Form prior to the autocross.
Important Note about the Safety Inspection Form: We will not be handing out the Safety Tech Form at the inspection site. Please read, print, and bring the online form (below) with you to the inspection site. There will be 5 Safety Tech Forms laminated so volunteers have something to check off as they perform each inspection. Once the inspection is completed, a Safety Tech sticker will be applied to the top left of your windshield indicating your vehicle has passed the Safety Tech Inspection. No vehicle may participate in the Parade Autocross without passing the Inspection.
