Kiri reminded me that there's an AutoX saturday at Castle AFB in Atwater. I have always been meaning to go there. From my DMC team members that went to the Solo2 National event there and that do the AAS events, they say Castle is a pretty fast, open course. Good for our big Volvo's! So, I think i'll warm up there b4 my SFR SCCA event sunday. I know its short notice, but I recommend that if your trying to get into autoX and are hesitant about getting a SCCA membership, you should try this out. 5 runs and a lot LOT less competition.
Here's the vital info (from the website: www.americanauto-x.com ):
-There are no membership dues for AAS events, cost is $30.00 per event. We start at 9:00am and try to give everyone 5 runs as long as time permits, and you must work one rungroup per entry. Registration generally opens at 8:00am and is open all day Saturday and till 2:00pm on Sundays.
-Helmets are required, Snell M or SA 90 or newer. There are some loaners available.
-We have a once a year technical/safety inspection, once your car passes tech, you will get a tech sticker which must be displayed, and visible from a short distance.
-Class structure is based on SCCA classes, however not all SCCA classes are offered individually, there are some that are lightly subscribed, so they are combined and indexed. -We do not allow Karts.
-You must have a valid drivers license to compete and there are minimum age (16) limits for AAS competitors. Those who are under 18 years old must have a signed parents consent form, and also must have a minors waiver form signed.
I'll try and get there at 7:30ish to walk the course 3 times and register.
