I'm planning on attending my first PCA Driver's Education event in a week at Limerock Park. A friend has walked me through all the processes to get ready for it—PCA (re)-registration, event registration, and track insurance. I picked my number. And I'm planning on using one of my full face motorcycle helmets which I used at a Skip Barber event there last year. The only outstanding item is a "tech inspection."
I've downloaded and printed the form. But where the heck do you get a tech inspection? Or can someone do it at the track the day of? Many thanks in advance.

Most PCA regions will have a list of pre approved shops that will do you inspection ahead of time.
Track day is busy and can be hard to get tech done on site. That said you can usually get it done.Email or call the Chief Steward for more on the event.
Enjoy and have fun.

I know it's likely your motorcycle helmet is Snell rated, but not all are. I don't know how strict your DE event's check is on helmets, but a Snell rating is supposedly required for PCA DE events and a Snell SA2010 or SA2015 rating is preferred for automotive events.

each pca chapter has slightly different rules but i would bet your motorcycle helmet will not be allowed
tech inspection usually can be done at an indie shop, or a dealer... often the pca chapter will work with a sponsoring shop or dealer (or both) and these places are most used to efficiently doing the check for you
otherwise, just contact your pca event organizer... usually their contact info is right on the event sign up site

If you have any questions please contact the organizer or send me a PM and I will be happy to help. I will also be at the event so if there is anything you need at the track please let me know.

If you are in the greater-Boston area: Bill (http://www.eurotechracecars.com/) is not listed on CVR's website, but approved; he built a lot of the race cars you will see at the track.
Contact CVR regarding your helmet because that region is notoriously strict. HMS in Danvers has a pretty big selection of helmets if you need one.
Have fun, and check out NER/NCR events next season![thumbsup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bigok.gif)
P.S. You picked the worst possible time for your first day. You will be bitten by the bug, and then have to wait six months for your second day

While it appears that your car is a newer 991.2, you should be aware that LRP has noise restrictions on most days. So if you have a modified exhaust, be sure to check db limits.
