Frequently Asked Questions

If you cancel 14 days before the event, a $30 cancellation fee will be deducted from the event fee. Unfortunately, if you cancel within 14 days of the event, we cannot issue a refund or credit. 

Event fees cannot be transferred to another event. However, you may transfer your registration to another driver by notifying us at least 8 hours prior to the event.

Please complete the driver transfer form here: TRANSFER FORM

SpeedSF Track Events reserves the right to cancel or reschedule an event due to unforeseen circumstances.

Events run rain or shine. Driving in wet conditions can significantly improve your car control, precision, and grip management. Many experienced drivers value wet conditions as an opportunity to develop their skills further.

We have transitioned to a fully digital process. A tech inspection form is no longer required to be submitted, and it is now the driver’s responsibility to ensure their vehicle is properly prepared before the event.

A reference tech inspection checklist can be found here: TECH FORM

Several days prior to each event (typically 3–5 days), you will receive a logistics email that includes:

• E-waiver link

• Driver meeting video

• Driver meeting quiz

Drivers who complete all required items may arrive at least 30 minutes before their session start time. Please allow sufficient time for preparation and avoid rushing.

Note: All beginner drivers are required to attend the in-person driver meeting regardless of completion status.

Run groups are based on experience and skill level, not vehicle type. Availability may vary by event.
