Meetings & Clinics

   

There are 2 types of meetings, information meetings and building clinics.

Meetings and clinics are designed to help you succeed at building your car, passing inspection, and having a successful race day. Everyone will need to pass a thorough mandatory inspection the week of the race. Any car that does not pass inspection will be required to be repaired before being impounded for the race. It is to your advantage to attend 1 information meeting and 1 construction clinic before you start buiding your car. Trial runs are mandatory and are strongly reccomended to ensure no problems on race day. Meetings and clinics will be held in Geneva at the Race Directors house and will last approximately 1 hour for the information meetings and construction clinics will last for 2 hours. Offical AASBD cars will be on hand. Please send an email or call to arrange a meeting or clinic. A racer and adult must attend together.

Please contact Race Director via email or call 630-841-8832 to schedule a meeting and clinic.
