About this event
Tarheel Sports Car Club
THSCC Tech Inspection Day
**Please note - Automotive Performance and Chassis has moved from their downtown Cary location - the new location is 2028 Production Ave, Apex, NC!
All cars that wish to participate in any THSCC HPDE event in green or yellow must have their car inspected using our tech inspection form by an independent garage (i.e. this is NOT a self-tech). Periodically, we offer this service for $20.00, due in cash, paid on site.
We try to host these tech days at one or more of our track event sponsors so our members can see who's supporting the program. However, participants have the option to choose their local ASE certified shop. Space is always limited at these tech days, so be sure to register early.
Event requirements
You must pre-register for your time slot. The inspection fee ($20) will be collected at the time of inspection.
We have set up time slots for the tech sessions. If you need multiple appointments (different cars) please sign up for one, then email us. We recommend that you come no earlier than 15 minutes before your scheduled time slot. This will help us reduce traffic and long lines coming in and out of the facility. When you arrive, we will check you in and begin the tech process so we can keep things moving along smoothly.
Please download the technical inspection form and have it ready for us when we pre-inspect your car. For a more detailed explanation of the tech form, you can also download the tech guide in PDF format.
With the exception of race tires (if you're driving to the tech day) please have all your track-day equipment installed and ready for inspection when you arrive (i.e. seats, harnesses, roll bars, etc.)
We will not have the time nor ability to fix most issues on site, however, those that can be dealt with on site will be (within reason of course). If we find items that need fixing before we can issue a sticker, we will note those items on the inspection form and we will re-inspect the items at event sign-in or at a later inspection date, where we will then issue the tech sticker.
Please remember to bring your helmet to the tech inspection. ***** We will only accept SA2015 and SA2020 helmets *****
ALL convertibles must have an SCCA Time Trials approved 4-point roll bar and SFI padding. All occupants in a convertible must use arm restraints while on track, in the absence of a hardtop. All roll bars will be measured for diameter and wall thickness (roll bars must have a 3/16 inch inspection hole in an accessible straight section of tubing.) If your convertible does not have a roll bar installed, don't bother bringing it to our tech day (the only exceptions to date are 2005+ Boxsters with factory hoops and pre-2005 Porsche Boxsters with the Brey-Krause roll hoop extension). T-tops/Targa roofs/sun roofs will be inspected for proper fitment. We reserve the right to require they be removed for track use. In any open-top car, the driver's head must pass the "broomstick" test, meaning that a stick laid across the top of the windshield and the top of the roll bar or roof must clear the top of the driver's helmet by 2".
