License options

Post by turbohawk »

What license's are accepted for your group? We run road racing venues mostly, but have decided to include hill climbs, if possible.

Have completed the Raceway park driving course, and have a green license upgraded to a competition license from them. Most groups require that you attend their own school to compete. NASA has agreed to bump up the Raceway license to enable us to compete at their venues. I haven't received word from NEHA or EMRA groups as of today.

What requirements for licenses do you folks require? Will you upgrade the Raceway license, like NASA, in order for us to compete?

Vehicle: ST 2 BMW coupe.

Thanks folks, this will make life a bit easier :mrgreen:

We typically acknowledge licenses from known groups with comparable licensing processes and training. Some examples would be SVRA and NASA. I'm not familiar with Raceway, what type of instruction, observation/novice period, and physical is required? Also, is there a requirement to run so many events in a given time to maintain the license?

Matt, school is modeled after NASA's school, that's why they bump you up to be able to run most NASA events. Most tracks require you to attend and obtain their own license, but accept other licenses. They want you to attend a class to become familiar with their particular track configuration you will be running on.... Classes, plus 100 miles of track time is Raceway's venue for license.

Hope this helps.
