For 2026

NCR and NER have adopted the same technical inspection requirements.

Aligned with the PCA National Minimum Standards, you must have your car inspected by an approved person or shop prior to an event. This Pre-Track inspection is valid for 120 days or 4 HPDE events. In addition, a Final inspection must be completed by you prior to each and every event.

These changes reduce the burden of technical inspection for our attendees without compromising the safety of PCA DE events. Ultimately, you are responsible for your car’s safety and condition. We encourage attendees who may not be comfortable conducting the Final inspection to continue bringing their car to their approved person or shop of choice.
