Why Register for the Blackhawk Farms Education & Lapping Day
- All makes and clubs welcome.
- The date is June 12th, earlier than our usual date in July, and so it should be great weather.
- Lapping is open lapping, running as a group with passing permitted on designated straightaways. Drivers and cars are divided into groups based on experience and speed potential. Cars are started individually to allow spacing. Orange cones mark the beginning and end if each "no passing" zone.
- Touring is driving on the track, at a brisk pace, but with speed imitations. Roll bars are NOT required in open cars for Touring, as you wonʼt be driving at the limit. Passengers are allowed, so bring your friends and family.
- A classroom driving school will be held for novices, and in-car instruction will be available.
- For lapping, a current automotive racing helmet is needed. Some loaners may be available if requested in advance. You can rent one at the track.
- Open cars require a roll bar for lapping (but not for touring)
- Lots of track time! Weʼll run all day, one group after another, with breaks for Touring sessions at midday.
- There is a cafe and lunch is available at the track. There is also a store with snacks and convenience items.
- A basic safety inspection is conducted on all cars before they are allowed to participate in Lapping, but you are responsible for making sure the car is safe and ready. A list of items to check will be included in the registration packet that will be sent to you. You are responsible for teching your car and will be required to submit the signed off tech form at the tech barn before a run group sticker is issued.
