We've had a handful of cancelled events this past year.  I know it's frustrating as an attendee, but it's worse for us as officers.  We do quite a bit of work in the background just to get the chance to step out on the concrete pad.

  • 2 weeks out we submit a sanction request to our SCCA home office.  We usually get our sanction the week preceding the event. 

  • About the same time our MSR registration opens.  We watch this as it gives us an idea of the numbers to expect on site.  This will help us determine what kind of course we'll design/use. 

  • A week out we request site access.  We usually know

Thanks to everyone for coming out and enjoying a beautiful day hitting cones.  We had a slow start, but thanks to everyone for chipping in and helping.

Romesh and Nathan fought over FTD all day.  It was the SP showdown we never even knew we needed.  Some old members visited too

Thank you to our service members both present and past.

The minor waiver procedure has changed with SCCA.  We need your help to make sure our paperwork is correct and your minor can enjoy the event with you.  Please have your paperwork in order before bringing your minor on site.  If you have any questions please ask. 

  • Only necessary for minor drivers (5-17 years old), passengers (12-17 years old or 57” tall) or minor workers (12-17 years old) entering “hot” areas (staging, grid, start, finish, course) that hold an SCCA membership or a weekend membership.
  • Children under 12 years old (except Junior drivers) are not permitted in “hot” areas (staging, grid, start, finish, course) per the Solo Rules section 1.3.2.O; a waiver is not necessary for them.
  • Use “SCCA Minor Official 1068 09 15” (printed in the lower right corner) for minor drivers (5-17 years

“We few, we happy few...” Fifteen Drivers took to Hunt Stagefield today to participate in Autocross Event #07. The weather cooperated wonderfully, providing partial relief from the usual heatwave we experience on site. FTD went to our local GRM Superstar Jesse Waymire in his F Prepared POS2000. At the end of the day, Wes Hughson’s Street Tire Clad Chariot managed to wrangle the Top PAX spot away from Jesse by a mere 0.011-seconds. Join us in two weeks for Autocross #8!
