We suggest upgrading the vehicle's brake fluid to ATE or similar as well as the brake pads to an entry-level track pad. Contrary to popular consensus, it is best to track an otherwise stock vehicle.

We have a lodging page that is updated with event options including hotel and camping options (if available). Go to: www.itrexpo.com/lodging.php for more info.

- What is the tech inspection form for and who should perform the inspection?
The tech inspection form is a list of items to review and address prior to Expo. This list covers most areas of the car to help confirm the car is suitable for the track. This form can be completed by those who perform their own car work or by a qualified automotive dealer or repair shop.
- What safety equipment is needed to track my car?
Safety equipment varies for each vehicle but at a minimum: All car occupants must wear a Snell SA2010 or above approved closed-face helmet, closed-toed shoes (no sandals), long-sleeves, and long pants (no shorts). Go to: www.itrexpo.com/rules.php for more info.
