1. You must be entered in the fastest class in your Division (Grand Touring/125 mph, Grand Sport/155 mph, and SS1/160 mph). Touring Division cars and Rookies are not eligible to Tech Up.
2. Your car must meet the Tech requirements of the next higher Division.
3. Your TIRES must meet the Tech requirements of the next higher Division.
4. You must wear all of the personal Safety gear required by the next higher Division, i.e., arm restraints, head & neck restraints, race suits, full face helmets, etc. in the race, and this gear must be inspected by the Tech inspectors.
5. You must have the experience required to run in the next higher Division.
Special Tech Stickers will be issued to those participants that Tech Up. A sheet will be provided at Registration for entrants desiring to Tech Up to take to the Tech Inspectors. Entrants desiring to Tech Up MUST identify themselves to the Tech Team during Tech Inspection. After Tech closes on Saturday, no further Tech Up inspections will be available.
To be clear, the Tech Up maximum Tech Speeds are: GT3 (125), 168 mph; GS6 (155), 180 mph; SS1 (160), Unlimited.
Entrants that Tech Up are permitted to drive at their Tech Up Tech Speed ONLY IN THE SPEED TRAP(S). It is the entrant’s responsibility to observe the “T” sign designators and be at or below their ORIGINAL Tech Speed before and after passing these signs. Speed Trap locations will be posted at the Driver’s Meeting.
Entrants will NOT be permitted to Tech Up more than ONE (1) Division. For example, a Grand Touring class 125 car cannot Tech Up to Super Sport. Any car exceeding their assigned Tech Up Tech Speed in the Speed Trap(s) will be disqualified.
Cars that will be Teching Up will be gridded in the front of their Class, so as not to overrun others in their class due to the added speed. Since only the top classes in each Division are permitted to Tech Up, they will have the same Speed Trap Tech speed as the cars in front of them who are running in the next higher Division.
It will be the responsibility of the driver/team to adjust their average speed after banking time by virtue of going fast in the trap(s). Participants are reminded that at no time may they go below their minimum speed permitted for their class.
