The New York Safety Track Driving Experience
The Sports Car Driving Association is pleased to add New York Safety Track (NYST) to our 2022 track driving season! NYST is 2.2 miles in length, 40 feet wide, and has an astounding 450 feet of elevation change with the most beautiful views of upstate NY. These events sell will out quickly, and registration is handled on a first come, first serve basis with a small cap on car counts. Mark your calendars now for this exciting SCDA NYST track day!

Safety Information
Helmet Requirements
-
Helmet Requirements for all SCDA events.
Helmets with a SA-2015 or SA-2020 rating are REQUIRED for all SCDA Events
Helmets with an M-rating are not Acceptable. Motorcycle helmets do not have the proper safety requirements for car use, specifically a rollbar multi-impact test.
Helmets MUST have one of these two labels on the inside.

Dress Code
Long sleeves and long pants are suggested at all tracks. Open-toe shoes are not allowed. Drivers of competition cars are encouraged to wear fire-suits.
Convertible Policy
SCDA Convertible Policy
For safety reasons, all convertibles (Boxster, Miata, Corvette, BMW Z4, Honda S2000, Pontiac Solstice etc.) are required to have a roll bar that meets the following two criteria in order to be eligible to run during any event.
- The roll bar must be in the fixed position and visible at all times. This means that roll bars which are designed to automatically deploy are not acceptable unless they are in the full upright and locked position at all times.
- The roll bar must allow the driver to pass the “broomstick” test which means that the top of the drivers helmet must be below the line from the top of the roll bar to the top of the windshield.
There are aftermarket roll bars and/or seats which can be used to help meet these requirements. If your convertible meets these standards, then you are welcome to participate!
Factory hard tops ARE acceptable at SCDA events.
Passengers
The ONLY time there may be a passenger on track is:
- If the Driver is a registered SCDA Instructor or Coach
