Being
a track junkie is more than just attending 100 or more track days
per year.
It takes a little more to be considered a true track junkie.

- Bring your own drinking
water. Don't go around asking for water to drink.
- Bring your own tools.
That includes air pressure guage, torque wrench, jack etc. Whatever
you can fit into the car. Going around and always asking for
tools is often frown upon at unless of course you brought the
trailer AND the entire garage YET forgot that special socket.
- Bring your own
roll of painter's tape. If you intend to borrow it due to absent-mindedness,
use it sparingly. Don't use it to cover your entire car or your
toilet seat.
- Do not borrow tools
without asking and if you do borrow a tool, return it in a timely
manner.
- If you see someone
having difficulties setting or packing up an Ez-Up, please volunteer
to help.
- If a group of people
is sharing the shade under an Ez-Up, leave your belongings out
in the sun. The shade is to cool people not to cool your belongings.
- If you see someone
jacking up a car and planning to work under that car without jackstands,
warn that person it's not ok.
- If you see a wrecked
track car that was just towed back into the paddocks, do not
go oohs or wahs and start snapping pictures away.
- Do not block garage
entrances and surroundings if you did not rent that garage.
- Ask before parking
in a spot that has belongings already unloaded and unpacked.
The one thing most drivers hate is to return from a track session,
only to find his/her spot is taken by someone else.
- Do not blast music
out of a hi-fi box in the paddocks. This is not a HIN event.
- Be friendly and
make friends at the track. We are all there for the love of
driving on the track.
- Never lose your
cool at another driver. It shows a lack of sportsmanship. Using
the middle finger is prohibited.
- Do not ask another
driver 0-60mph, 1/4 mile, 0-100mph times or who smoked who.
We are there for a road race/education course event. Not drag
racing.
- Do not sit in any
seat of another car without asking for permission.
- Do not touch anything
in the engine bay of another car without asking for permission.
- Do not touch anything
inside of another car without asking for permission.
- Do not go around
telling everyone that you have a fast car. It doesn't matter
if you have a fast car. It only matters if you're a fast driver.
Even so, just be humble.
- Do not speed in
the paddocks. General rule of thumb is not exceeding 5 mph.
- Wave to the corner
workers during every cool down lap. Be nice to them. They look
out for you on the track.
- Track junkies appreciate
if favors are reciprocated. We help each other out.
