Helmets
Bring your own helmets. They must be SNELL approved, minimum M2000. If you don't have a helmet, don't worry as you should be able to borrow from other people.
Marshalling, timing help, etc.
All competitors will be required to assist with the marshalling and timing duties. While not driving, track workers are needed to marshal the course and time/record the times of the cars. Instructions on how to do this will be given at the event.
Sunscreen, rain gear, umbrellas, drinks, chairs, etc.
Bring suitable supplies with you for a full day outside without any shelter. There are no food or drink stores anywhere, so BYO drinks and food. Portable washrooms are provided.
