Autocrossing

To recap..........
Can't get in until 07:00
check-in, prepare car, tech inspection, and walk the course (at least once) before meeting
driver meeting (mandatory !!!) at 07:40
first car off at 08:00 (sharp)
"WOW"

Oh, and no second heat information. Have to assume everybody has to do this in the morning.
What's the expected turnout? 50, 60, even 70 cars.
All at the same time.....?
"Make this schedule or you fail...!"
I've asked questions to the members of the autocross commitee about this event and they aren't even involved. ?????????

Yeah, this sounds like fun. Keep your 16. t-shirt.

Our NCC autox committee is involved with ChapterFest. We also have the help of some of our former NCC autox committee members, Kevin Henry to name one, who are involved with the SCCA autox program.

Those individuals you are speaking with may not have all of the necessary info you seek.
You need to contact the autox chairperson Doug DuCote at autox@chapterfest.com. He will be able to answer any and all questions concerning all autox events pre-Chapterfest, for ChapterFest and post-ChapterFest.

The second heat time will not be announced for a few more weeks. If you have a preference then send that info to Doug.
Right now autox is set for 125 cars. As it sits now, after talking with the Autox Chair, there will be a minimum of 4 runs.
Also if you arrive earlier than 7 am we allow you and other autox participants access to the paddock. We will have people there as earlier as 6am

This early schedule would be no different if you had wake up to leave for SP. Also we do not expect all 125 cars to show at the same time. Once the second heat is announced, those people will arrive similar as they arrive now. This is a different event from a stand-alone autox. So most people will arrive earlier than usual if they are in the afternoon heat to enjoy everything else going on.

Last, we are reviewing the start time as the registrations
Hope this help. Let us know if you have any other questions or comments.
