HPDE/Track Day inspections; where do you all go? (DC/MD/VA area)

[sluggyjunx]

As the title says, I'm curious where everyone goes to get their HPDE/track day/etc. tech inspection completed. In the past I've visited Induktion Motorsports as I have attended ACNA PCC events and previously owned an Audi. Induktion is awesome, but it's a bit of a hike for me (~45min one way on a good day). I'm about 20 min north of Rockville, MD and looking for other local shops in this area, or just advice on sourcing out a shop to do the inspection. Any thoughts/ideas would be much appreciated!

You can normally do them yourself. Just keep the checklist at hand and go over the car with a fine tooth comb.

MVP Track Time has a great check list to use:

It really covers everything and as long as you look at each item before you leave for the event you should be covered. I do it in my garage a week before the event just in case anything needs to be replaced(balljoints, wheel bearings...etc).

If they require a shop to sign the form then i normally have my local place in Germantown look over it. Milestone Auto Center at the corner of 355/27 has been great to me the past few years from my Mustang to my Fiesta. They are a very performance oriented shop, the owner has a pretty nice Grand National while a few techs have some killer rides(seen a GTR and a Typhoon).

If you plan on hitting an event let me know! Would love to head to one with some Fiesta guys/gals next time.

Following up on this, I have had the last few HPDE tech inspections done at Graeves Auto in Olney (about 5 min from home) with no issues and they are quite friendly and helpful.
