Drivers starting position in the Final Race is determined by their quickest lap in the first session.

Can I bring my own helmet?
Yes, we encourage it but your whole face has to be protected by the visor.  You can't use a motocross helmet or a half helmet.  If you bring your own helmet you won't need a balaclava so the cost of your first session is $32.03. 

Do you offer group discounts?
We don't offer discounts, we have a special race format for groups of six or more that race at least two sessions.
