Cancellation Policy: We have a special cancellation policy for this event and this event only. You may cancel up to 72 hours prior to the event and get a full refund.

On-line payment available: https://www.motorsportreg.com/events...lub-usa-176744

Special Weather Insurance: If it is raining or snowing or if the temperature is below 48 degrees, this event may be cancelled and a full refund will be returned to the registrants. We will also shred the check if you agree to it. Precipitation will cancel the event but temperature gives either the track or the club the right to cancel and issue participants a full refund! The temperature clause is a guideline where we used the average temperature in Alton, VA for the month of February as the decision point. The average temperature was researched from weather.com. This does not mean we will cancel due to cold weather but it gives us the right to cancel if either party deems it necessary.

Host Hotel: The Lodge at VIR or the Villas at VIR. We are asking ALL participants to lodge at the track.

Please stay at the track for this event. We want to be sure to patronize the track by staying at their on site hotels.

Event Update:

The bottom line on this event is that you have nothing to lose and everything to gain since you will get a full refund if you cancel up to 72 hours before the event. We have a weather clause so if it is bad weather, we will cancel the event, and you will get your check back. No checks will be endorsed prior to February 20, 2020. That means we will hold your check till we know that the weather is going to be good and only then will we deposit your fee. There will be no on line payment for this event since we do not want to pay processing fees and will be able to give you a full refund should the weather be bad.

You can use a credit for this event.

****** SCMC/TCUSA reserves the right to change this schedule at any time during the weekend. ******

Hyperdrive:

The SCMC/TCUSA will be offering Hyperdrives over the course of the weekend. A Hyperdrive is one 30 minute session in your car with an in car instructor. You still have to fill out all of the forms, have a helmet, be at the driver's meeting and your car must pass a tech inspection.


These are the required forms. Please make sure you fill these out, print them, sign them, and bring them with you to registration.

Helmet Form: http://www.svtcobraclub.com/ontrackhelmetform.html
Technical Form: http://www.svtcobraclub.com/ontracktechnicalform.html

Medical Forms will now be switched to a "medical card" that must be filled out at the event and kept with you at all times while on track. The club is no longer responsible for safe keeping your medical information, you must keep the card with you at all times till the event is concluded.

[Snoopy 777]

Always a little confused on the tech and helmet form. If filled online and submitted, do you actually get them or do we still need to print out?

[cobrabitn]

Same as always, you print them out and bring them with you to registration signed.
