Answer: Yes you can. To run a NEI TIME TRIAL you will need a helmet, long sleeve shirt, long sleeve
pants, and a car that meets the prep rules. So basically you can come in off the street
and run with us with no special equipment. We even loan helmets.
To run a NEI wheel to wheel RACE you'll need a few more safety items like a full
cage, full fire suit, fire extinguisher, and 5 point belts.
2. Question: I'm concerned about my nice street car. Whats the chances of wrecking it?
Answer: Most people with nice street cars that want to participate in track events run the Time Trials.
Basically a Time Trial involves driving at speed in the 3 twenty minute sessions provided during the
day where no passing is allowed in the turns, only on straights. This is where you have fun and
practice. At the end of the day 1 car is put on the track at a time and you get 2 laps to run your
timed runs. Then later they give out trophies based on your fastest lap time in your class. So all in
all Time Trials are pretty safe and the chance of messing up your ride is very minimal.
Wheel to wheel racing on the other hand is an all out competition and there are risks of going
metal to metal.
