From the NASA CCR:
4.6 HPDE Passenger Privileges
A passenger is defined as any participant possessing the proper wristband or credential, riding in a moving vehicle while on track, yet is not in physical control of that vehicle. NASA Instructors are not considered passengers for the purposes of this section. All passengers must be at least 18 years old. Minors that are participants in the event should not be a passenger, unless riding with an instructor, for the purposes of instruction.
1. The ability to take a passenger on-track is a revocable privilege, not a right.
2. Passengers may be allowed in all HPDE groups, unless otherwise specified.
3. Group 1 (“School” or Beginner) participants must get specific permission from their Instructor before a passenger may be allowed in the vehicle.
4. Passengers must use the same safety equipment and attire as required of the driver.
5. Passengers should not be allowed in vehicles where they are sitting near or below obstructions (i.e. “Petty bar”) that may pin or trap them, or cause other possible harm.
6. Passengers are not allowed to possess a camera of any type while on-track.
7. Anyone that is involved in a spin or off track excursion with a passenger in the car may lose his or her passenger privileges for the day.
8. Only one (1) passenger is allowed at any given time, in any car, unless an Instructor is driving.
9. Passengers should not commit any action as to cause interference or distraction of the driver or any other drivers.
10. Passengers should keep their arms and hands inside the vehicle at all times.
11. Passengers are not permitted to place any part of their bodies, such as their hands, in any area that is between any roll bar/cage tubing and the body panels of the interior. Doing so may result in crushed limbs. Enforcement of this rule is the responsibility of the driver.
12. Passengers are not allowed in open-top cars that do not provide adequate roll bar protection for the passenger side of the car (i.e. an original Shelby
I think in NASA-MA you need to get permission from someone (cheif of instructors, race director, etc.)

Why???
You can only go so fast. And if you are going to a new track an instructor can help a lot. Turning a tad bit early or a tab bit late on a few corners could result in seconds on a lap time.(not that you should be timimg your laps insurance companies dont like that) And in group 2 if you are doing well they may not ride with you on Sunday.

Who else is going? Group 3 here.

getfast also showed me a really cool event going on the Sunday of 25th that is a TON of seat time on an open course in a autox format, but its hard to call it a autox. Some previous experience is required, but it gets you "on track" for a fraction of HPDE and would be a great thing for someone to do that has a budget in mind.

Check out that link and read up on it. Sounds like a deal. I've already told Jon that if I cant get my SER ready for the track I'll be bringing the Miata or 325i to this event. Either way, my ass is going to VIR in Feb.

Thanks Kevin! Yeah, Sunday on Patriot will be fun. Lots of runs, and cheap. 9 spots left for anyone else interested.
Anyway I will be working control & doing drivers meetings for that, and driving hopefully in heat 2. Plus karting Fri & Sat nights in both enduros of course. I may or may not be driving on the full course Fri-Sat. The car needs a few things to be ready for all that and I dont feel like spending the $ right now. I am definitely doing some special-request instructing on Saturday though.
Cant wait,
Jon
