Is my deposit refundable?
A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to book your date. The balance of your rental is due 10 days prior to the event. The deposit is not refundable except if the event is canceled or we can not supply a car for your event. If you must cancel your rental, you may apply the deposit to a future rental for one year.

What if I have to cancel for my rental event?

You may cancel your rental 10 days prior to your event date and receive a refund of your rental fee less the $500 non-refundable deposit. Cancellations made within 10 days of the event will be charged 50% of the rental fee. All events are held rain or shine - there are no refunds for weather related event delays unless the event is canceled in it's entirety.

Do I need a special racing license to rent a race car?
Not necessarily. Car Guys, Track Masters, NASA and Summit Point Raceway all offer on-track, high performance driver's education courses that require you only to have a valid state driver's license. Race rentals and test days require a competition racing license from an approved sanctioning body.
