You may want to check with your insurance on one thing (assuming this will allow high speed passes). Our Corvette club puts on a track event at Brainard every year. Starting last year, our insurance would not allow convertibles unless they have a rollcage in them. Check to insure you don't have people show up and get denied access at the gate for that reason. Just FYI.

Thanks hcbph that's what makes this event unique compared to other tracks having similar events. Since 2009 Talladega has allowed convertibles and removeable top cars to run on their facility. The 2026 event is no different. You will have to sign waivers for both the track and Hendricks before you enter the facility and the Speedway itself.

AFAIK Brainard doesn't give a rip either way. It's the insurance company that writes our event insurance that does. We checked with a couple of other companies and ran into the same restriction. If you don't mind, PM with the name of the insurance company you're using to cover the event. I'd like to pass that along to our event coordinator. Thanks.
