* Seat belts must be in good condition, operable and of the SAME TYPE for both front seats (passenger belt requirements must be met if an instructor is to be riding in the vehicle).
* Video cameras must be securely mounted with a non-elastic tether.
* Roll bars are highly recommended for convertibles.

Engine Compartment
* Positive throttle return.
* No cracked, swelled, or leaking hoses.
* No fluid leaks - a leak is defined as fluid observed dripping from the vehicle at a rate exceeding one drop every 10 seconds.

Chassis/Suspension
* No detectable play or noise when pulling on tires at the top.
* DOT approved tires or road racing slicks.
* Speed rating on tires should be appropriate for anticipated top speed (100-125 for most participants).
* Tires must not be worn down to cords or showing secondary rubber layer.
* Participants should check lug tightness before each road course session.
* No broken or missing wheel studs.
* Plastic centercaps on your wheels have a tendency to melt from the brake's heat. You should consider removing them before going out on the track.
* It is highly recommended to change brake fluid if it hasn't been done in the past six months. Look for a fluid with a high wet boiling point such as Ford Heavy Duty, Valvoline, Wilwood, or any other high quality fluid.

* Air pressure gauge.
* Extra brake pads if your pads are questionable.
* Tarp to lay all your stuff on or to cover it in case of rain.
