I would reach out to the CI or registrar at Trackmasters and ask what they think. You can find their email addys on the TM website.
You may be fine, but if not…..
Reach out directly to them for advice and let us know what happens.

Now you can do it. Before there wasn't room. Just straighten the wheel.

You definitely need to check with the CI. You would also need a rec from your CI. On top of that, presuming you get the OK, you need a check out at the track. When the event is an open DE only, and the check out ride is not successful, you may not be able to drive at all. The school is the best option. Drive, get checked out and you still have the school run group to fall back on if it doesn’t go as planned.

This is why Tony gets the big money.
Advice to follow for sure.

HA! I don’t represent TM in anyway, but know the chief instructor very well! It’s the same process we use at Niagara for our open track events.Just helping the OP decide how he wants to spend his money. Or risk losing the fee if the checkout doesn’t work.

I think he should throw caution to the wind and register for all 4 TM events and all 4 NRPCA events. What could possibly go wrong?

Allow me to echo Tonythetarga, get in touch with Rich, the CI and he will put you on the right track (pun intended). Easy deal.
