THSCC Forums

I'm looking for someone experienced I can talk with about VIR in September...want to know what I need to do to prepare to go (helmet, car inspection, etc.) and want to ask about my son going too and bringing his car. Thanks, Allen

Most of the information is available on the motorsport reg page, this is the helmet/tech inspection info:

Due to the late release/lack of availability of many brands SA2015 models, we will be accepting SA2005 rated helmets for this event. As of January 1, 2016,THSCC REQUIRES that all helmets be Snell SA2010 specification minimum. We do not accept M rated helmets of any year, nor will we accept Snell rated helmets older than 2010. We have a very limited supply of loaner helmets that can be reserved on a first-requested, first-served basis. Drivers should also wear clothing made of natural fibers. At most events, THSCC requires long sleeves and long pants be worn while on track, but this is dependent on the rules of each track and the weather. This will be clarified in the pre-event e-mail.

All participants' cars must pass a vehicle inspection. The inspection can be performed at any of our annual inspection days (Dates and registration on motorsportreg.com) or at any independent shop with access to a car lift. The inspection form must be completed and signed or stamped by the mechanic. For inspections performed by one of our approved shops, we will issue an annual tech sticker at the first event. For inspections done by other shops, we will issue a day/s of event tech sticker.

Generally you need good tires, good brake fluid changed at most 90 days before the event, make sure your brake pads have plenty of pad on them and you're no leaking any fluids and they're all in good shape and topped off.

If you're looking for green group though it looks like it's full, they may offer wait listing though.
