APEX Fall Fest by GSPEED MSR 3.1 on Sept 6-7th

Basic requirements include:
 - Licensed drivers aged 16 and up (under 18? parent or guardian must accompany you)
 - Helmet, rated Snell 2015 or better (you can rent one from us if you do not have one)
 - Your track-worthy passenger car (such as sedan, coupe, station wagon, etc.) No SUVS, no pick-ups, no vans permitted
 - Advanced/Intermediate drivers welcome to bring their track cars
 

Before each event, HPDE drivers will need to perform a Tech Inspection on their car. This is required before each and every event, even if you just looked at your car last week or last month. This is for the safety of our instructors, your fellow drivers, and most of all - for you. This inspection can be done by you, your friends, or any qualified mechanic. Note that an in-car fire extinguisher is no longer required.

To ensure a safe, enjoyable, and competitive environment for all participants, Apex Fest has the following pre-registration requirements:

1. HPDE:

• Novice – For drivers with 0–3 prior track events. Includes classroom instruction and in-car coaching. No prior experience required—perfect for first-timers or those still learning the fundamentals.
• Intermediate – For drivers with at least 4 previous track days who are comfortable driving solo, managing traffic, and using point-bys. This group does not include in-car instructors.
• Advanced – For highly experienced drivers who are fully comfortable with open passing (with point-by), high-speed traffic, and consistent car control. No instruction provided.

1. Commitment to Clean Racing:

   • Apex Fest is built on a foundation of respect and sportsmanship. Clean, contact-free racing is our top priority. We enforce a zero-tolerance policy for car-to-car contact, reckless behavior, and unsportsmanlike conduct.
   • Drivers are expected to make responsible, mature decisions on and off the track, ensuring the safety of everyone involved.

2. Technical Inspection:

   • All vehicles must pass a pre-event technical inspection to ensure they meet safety standards. Detailed inspection guidelines will be provided after registration.

3. Driver Briefing Attendance:

   • Attendance at the mandatory driver briefing is required before taking to the track. This briefing will cover event rules, safety protocols, and track-specific details to prepare you for a successful weekend.

By meeting these requirements, you help maintain the high standards that make Apex Fest an exceptional experience for drivers of all skill levels.

Our program runs rain or shine, and driving on a wet track is one of the most beneficial exercises to help advance your driving skills at any experience level.
