HYPERFEST SURVIVAL TIPS
CHANCE FAVORS THE PREPARED MIND
This event takes place in late May; chances are it can be really hot and humid, cool and dry, or even wet, ...heck it's been all 3 in the same weekend before. In any case, please plan ahead and be prepared. Water, sunscreen, shade, bug spray, rain gear, tent, chairs, coolers, backup batteries (for your cell phones / tablets), etc. You don't want to spend time away from HyperFest making trips to the store for items you forgot while the rest of your friends are enjoying themselves.
PUMPED ON BEING STOKED!
No one is more pumped on being stoked at HyperFest than World Champion Drifter and Professional Fun-Haver Vaughn Gittin, JR. That's why we ask that you leave your negativity and worries at home, and enjoy some fun, quality time at the track with your friends. Fist bumps, high fives, smiles, or whatever the kids do these days, feel free to do it here as much as you want provided it's positive and friendly.
THE GOLDEN RULE: DO UNTO OTHERS
We're all here to have a good time, some more than others (which is totally fine too). However, we do ask that you consider the community as a whole and look out for your friends; and extend that same courtesy to new friends, and even friends you haven't met yet. If you see that someone needs a hand, offer it. Not only will you be making his or her day, but you will also serve as an example for others to do it too. Chances are they would do the same for you.
LEAVE NO TRACE
VIRginia International Raceway is nice (or crazy) enough to let us come in every year and throw one heck of a party at their amazing house. In return, all we ask is that you respect their home, their staff, other attendees, and clean up after yourself. We want to ensure that everyone gets to keep experiencing HyperFest at VIR and in order to continue doing so, we ask that you recycle what you can, reduce what you can't, and reuse what you got.
HATERS GONNA HATE
We hate being negative, but we've seen it too many times and we're sure you have too. We provide you with ample opportunities over the course of the weekend to experience driving off road in mud and over obstacles, doing burnouts in our Tire Massacre contest, driving at speed on track, and if you don't want to use your own vehicle the opportunity to go for rides in almost all the activities. So please don't try to replicate things on track off the track in other parts of the venue where someone could get seriously hurt, including yourself.
DON’T SATURDAY ON A FRIDAY!
It never fails to happen, you've been working a ton or been slammed with school and you're just counting down the minutes to get out of town to attend HyperFest and unwind. The problem is that once you get there; you get carried away the first day and then end up missing the next 2 days. Everyone likes to have a good time, just pace yourself throughout the weekend to help ensure you make it to the finish line on Sunday.
