2012 Z Nationals Track Day Registration Packet:
All drivers are asked to review and print the completed Track Day Registration Packet. This packet will be required to obtain your car number and driver’s wristband during the mandatory tech inspection sessions. In the event that you receive your car number at the Friday Pre-Tech inspection session at Z1 Motorsports, your vehicle will still need to be briefly re-inspected before you are able to go on track Sunday.
Vehicle Inspection “Tech Inspection”/ Driver’s meeting:
Consider this as your vehicles “physical exam”. All registered vehicles MUST have the supplied pre-tech inspection sheet found in the registration packet fulfilled PRIOR to arriving at the track Sunday morning. All participating vehicles MUST be at the track at 7:00 AM CST to perform a final tech inspection prior to being allowed on track. All drivers must be present to check all required safety gear and to attend the mandatory driver’s meeting.

Required Safety Gear & Clothing:
In order to participate in the 2012 Z Nationals Track Day event, all drivers MUST have the following safety gear and attire present before being allowed onto the track*

Inclement Weather:
Please be aware that the 2012 Z Nationals Track Day will take place Rain or Shine. No refunds will be made as a result of inclement weather. In the event of extreme inclement weather (Tornados, Floods, Hurricanes, etc.), the Z Nationals event staff will work with all registered participants to reschedule the track event or make other arrangements.

Options Note "Rate Yourself":
In an attempt to create a more ideal run group pairing between driver’s comfort, skill and vehicle capabilities, please rate both your vehicle and yourself from 1 through 10. Please be as honest as possible when making this evaluation. For example:

A "10" is classified by someone with a great deal of racing/track experience who is driving a high speed, semi-/ full-race prepared vehicle and is prepared to push the vehicle to its fullest.
A "1" would be someone who is driving a low/moderate powered vehicle on the track for the first time. This driver is eager to participate, but may not be able to keep up with the pace of other vehicles or is 100% comfortable in a track setting.....YET!
Please keep in mind that there are no penalties based on this classification. Final run group placements will be at the discretion of the Z Nationals event staff. As close to an accurate response as possible will help the staff place you in the appropriate run group that will allow both you and your fellow attendees to achieve maximum enjoyment from the Track Day.
