    Running on the road course brings with it some special requirements - you must have autocrossed at least 3 times in the current year to be eligible for this event. (clubs other than SCCA qualify) We'll be checking local results when you sign up, and will contact you if we can't verify that you meet the prerequisite. This is a safety issue for us - not so much for the drivers, but for the workers. The Road Course is a large venue with workers spread out over long stretches. It's important that the worker pool be experienced in this situation.

    This event will be online registration only. THERE ARE NO WALK UP REGISTRATIONS PERMITTED. This is necessary for us to verify your experience and it also helps us plan a better event for you! Because of the expenses associated with such an awesome venue, there is a $5 registration fee increase for the road course.

    I hadn't run the road course in a quite a few years, but really enjoyed it yesterday! I forgot how grippy that surface can be.

    Thanks to avarice for the co-drive.

    It was the best iteration of the course, so far. We now have a good map to use, so we should be able to repeat this iteration in coming years.

    I had a lot of fun. And as far as I know...no one hit the wall!

    Fun course. The tunnel of cones at the entrance to the north sweeper could use some thinning out in my opinion. Bad visuals.

    I don't see how the road-course helps us for nationals.....

    Matt and his SCCA minions did a fine fine job yesterday!



    While no one got the wall there were some bumps and bruises. And Laramie got yelled at!!

    Happy to say that I had no "wall pie" yesterday, but I did set a record for the number of times any individual missed the same gate!

    Saving up for a GoPro or a Garmin as me thinks timely replay would assist....
