Welcome FATT Participant!

Welcome FATT Participant!

Please read the following guidelines to help make your track day go smoother. Make sure your car meets all requirements on the TECH sheet included in your

registration! If it doesn’t, you will NOT be allowed on track!

Bring with you: your valid driver’s license, color printed TECH sheet completely filled out and signed

Upon arrival go to CHECK-IN FIRST

1. Empty everything out of your car, including any empty soda cans or water bottles underneath the seats, cell phones (you may keep them in your pocket but you should silence them), and anything else that may fly, flit, roll, talk, ring, bang, rumble, rattle, and crunch!

2. Take your TECH sheet, yourself and your car to get teched.

3. Your assigned car number will be put on your car by tech.

4. Please, please keep your eye on your schedule. Where you are supposed to be, what you are supposed to do, and at what time you are supposed to do it is colored for your particular group, and while you're at it, keep your ears open for any announcements over the P.A.

5. Driver's meetings and classes are mandatory, held in the classrooms and you will not be allowed out on the track unless you attend.

6. Skid pad cars are the white Crown Victoria Police Interceptors near pit out. When you are not “on track” get yourself into one of them. You will NOT need a helmet. The skid pad is a blast as the old timers at FATT will attest to! And you will learn a lot!

7. Drink plenty of fluids the night before and during the day-of event...very important!

8. The only other person in your car besides you will be a F.A.T.T. instructor. No other passengers. Only paid participants are eligible to be able to go for a ride during the day with one of the instructors. 18 and older only, no exceptions.

9. Any questions? Ask an instructor, they would be happy to help you.
