2025 SOC Track Day
Version 03-25
Welcome to Track Day! Our goal is to offer a day of hard driving in a controlled environment. Several experienced drivers have volunteered to assist as instructors. They will be glad to answer any questions to hekp make you a better driver.
Here are a few reminders.
Track Day is an event that is a part of the Saab Owners Convention (SOC). To be covered by insurance, entrants must be a member of the Saab Club of North America (SCNA), and registered to participate in the SOC.
Driving at the limit is demanding, mentally and physically. Make sure you stay hydrated. It is
recommended that you have water before and after each track session.
This is not a race. Passing will be allowed in certain areas, but don't take chances. You don't want to risk damage to your car not the other cars on track.
Use of alcohol or recreational drugs is prohibited. Violators will be asked to leave the facility. Save it for later.
All participants must sign a Waiver for Pocono Raceway, K&K Insurance, and the Saab Club of North
America.
All participants must be 18 years or older.
All participants must wear a helmet while on the hot track.
-Snell SA 2015 or newer. SFI / FIA 8860-2015 or newer.
-You are responsible for furnishing your helmet.
-HANS or similar recommended with racing harness.
-No motorcycle or other helmets allowed.
Long pants required.
No shorts, skirts, nor kilts.
Long sleeve shirts recommended.
No open toed shoes or sandals. Leather shoes recommended.
Any cars on track must have ALL loose items removed. That includes trunk space, glove box, and
under the seats. We recommend you bring storage bins for these items.
Tech Inspection: Before you show up, make sure there are no loose assemblies on your car. Wheel
bearings, tie rod ends, ball joints, shock absorbers / struts. It is not uncommon to wear out a set of brake pads at a Track Day, so make sure the brake pads have plenty of material, the rotors/drums don't have excessive wear, and calipers/wheel cylinders are working properly.
Check the seat belts for wear. Stock metal-to-metal 3-point belts are sufficient, but make certain they don't have signs of wear.
Tires must have at least 4/32” tread, no sidewall or tread cracks, no belts or cord showing.
Convertibles allowed only in sessions led by a pace car unless they have a roll cage. Insurance
companies frown on open top cars on a race track.
Three categories of driver:
- Novice: 3 track days or less
- Intermediate: 4 to 6 track days
- Advanced: 7 or more track days or wheel to wheel racing experience
Novices must have an Instructor for the first two sessions. A pace car will lead for these sessions.
Advanced drivers will act as Instructors. Run groups may be combined to provide more track time.
The first track sessions will be run at slower speeds behind a pace car to allow drivers to become
familiar with high speed driving techniques and track configuration.
