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.

Same course as always?

Its a surprise.

If you hit the kink fast enough it sure feels like a jump!

In this case, it's one of the ramps leftover from the daredevil show before the last NASCAR race. It should be fun!

That will give JF an edge...

How will this be scored exactly? Are we using voodoo math or pure style?

So long as I win another Jacket, I don't care which method is applied. I think Batoloco is almost finished with the spreadsheet that will win my Triad Award.

Uh Oh ... OZ has forbidden any reference to the JF incident ... but at least I was not the last one in the world to reference the incident.

This will require a higher math ... maybe we can get OZ to do it ... after all he's the Physics guy.

But if I were to be allowed to make any JF incident comments ... I would say that anything that has to do with car's flying is definitely a JF specialty.

This will be my 1st run at the road course & I can't wait.

I'll be there! First time at the infield. Looks fun!

Looking for a ride. Doesn't look like the vette will be ready in time.

You just drove it 1,200 miles. What's not ready? Did you already break it?

Everyone knows what happens to corvettes on the Infield...

The 3rd and 4th gear synchros are in need of replacement. It's running methanol injection (not SCCA legal). No competition wheels. No Alignment. So yeah ;)

Found a ride with Michael Parker though.

Definitely Gay Street.

Is this a points event this year?
