Thank you for signing up for Slip Happens at Sonoma Raceway Paddock on 9/2 (Wed). Please read this email carefully to ensure the event runs smoothly and you do not miss any of your track time.

Again! This is not a DRIFT event. *See below
Check-in typically begins at 4:30 PM.
A logistics email will be sent 3-5 days before the events, including all necessary waivers, schedules, and related details.
We understand that arriving on time on a weekday can be challenging, so there is no strict arrival time. Simply check in when you arrive at our trailer, which will be located at the main grandstand.

Run groups will be assigned at check-in. We will run three groups, with approximately 20 minutes per session. Groups will be organized based on arrival order—for example, the first drivers to arrive and check in will be placed in Group A, the next in Group B, and so on.

For the first session of your group, we will conduct lead/follow laps to help everyone learn the course layout.

As the title implies, we do allow slip — controlled oversteer, car control learning, and exploring your car’s limits. However, this is NOT a drift event, and it is definitely not a Sonoma Drift–style full-course drifting event like in previous years.

If you are planning to attend expecting full-course drifting, this event is not for you.

Per Sonoma Raceway’s current rules:

No excessive tire smoke
No purpose-built drift cars (as of now — we hope this may change in the future)

We worked very hard to negotiate this evening's event with Sonoma Raceway, and we do not want to jeopardize future opportunities. The main goal is to provide a controlled environment focused on car control and driver development.

If you have any questions or concerns about your vehicles, please reach out and ask.

If you feel your car is not suitable for this format, or the event is not what you expected, please let us know before the event and we will issue a full refund.

However, if you attend the event, drive the course, and are removed for violating the rules, no refund will be issued.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, and we look forward to a safe and successful first night event.

Cancellation Policy:

** $30 cancelation fee will be deducted from the refunded event fee if cancellation is 14 days or more before the event start date.

No refund or credit will be issued if you cancel within 14 days of the event.
Payment cannot be transferred to previous or upcoming events. However, the event fee may be transferred to another driver, provided the paid driver notifies us 24 hours before the start of the event.
SpeedSF Track Events reserves the right to cancel an event due to any unforeseen incidents.
All cancellation and fee transfer requests must be made at https://www.speedsf.com/transfer

What if it rains?

Our Events will go on rain or shine. Driving in wet conditions can significantly improve your driving skills, precision, and grip management. It further enhances your driving ability in dry conditions. Most successful drivers love driving in the rain.

What are the safety equipment?

You must have a helmet that is SA, M, or FIA-rated. SA helmets must be SA2020 or newer, and M helmets must be M2020+. Open-face helmets are accepted (closed cockpit only), but full-face helmets are preferred.
We strongly recommend long-sleeve cotton shirts but allow short sleeve cotton shirts (no tank tops). Closed-toed shoes are required. No sandals are allowed. We recommend long pants but allow short pants. No gloves are required, but we recommend racing gloves.

Passengers

Yes, in general, SpeedSF allows passengers in our Auto-x events. Passengers must be 18+. There may be exceptions in which the track rules supersede the SpeedSF passenger policy.
