2022 20/20 #3 Saturday Lake George
Event Requirements
You and any passengers must have SNELL 2010 or newer helmets. AMEC has a limited supply of loaner helmets that are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Driving on ice on a lake can be dangerous. There is a possibility that you may get injured or damage your car or that your car could be damaged while being extracted from a snowbank. AMEC is not responsible for any damage and your insurance won't cover any damage due to the nature of this event. Any insurance claims would likely be denied and result in your coverage being dropped immediately by your carrier.
The other people participating in this event may have no experience with track-days or driving on ice. They may behave erratically and irrationally so make sure to allow lots of space between cars. Do not cut across the track. Pay attention to the corner workers and head flagger, they may be trying to get your attention. If they wave a black flag at you and point to you, this means they want to talk with you...continue on your lap and the next time around pull up in front of the head flagger and roll your passenger window down. Do NOT stop immediately, proceed around the track one more time so you do not become a hazard to the other participants!
Turn your headlights on during the event, this helps make the cars more visible.
At any time during the event you can pull off the track using the pit-in/out lane. The only place you can get on and off the track is the pit lane. Plan this ahead of time, approach the lane on the outside of the track and use your blinker to indicate that you are exiting the track.
When re-entering the track, pay attention to any workers directing traffic along with the head flagger. Remember that it takes a long time to get up to speed to don't pull out in front of any cars on the track.
Don't stuff your car in a snowbank! We do not extract cars during the event so you will be stuck there for the remainder of the 20 minutes. Do not get out of your car if you get stuck in a snowbank! The safest place for you is inside the car, with your seatbelt on. Your radiator is likely stuffed with snow, so turn your engine off and turn your 4-way blinkers on. A truck will come by after the session and pull you out of the snowbank.
If you see a corner worker or the head flagger waving a yellow flag, this means that there is a disabled car on the track between them and the next corner station. Proceed with caution.
The session is over when the head flagger waves the checkered flag. You can proceed past the checkered flag and exit the track at the pit lane on your next time around the track. Note that plow trucks may be on the track after the checkered flag is thrown, so proceed with caution and at a reasonable speed.
