SATurday August 23rd Autocross

 Harry Grove Stadium in Frederick, MD is the location of the next CDC autocross on Saturday August 23rd.

Registration and tech inspection will be at 8:00 and will promptly close at 8:45 to try to accommodate the full field, while still giving 6 runs. You must be DONE by 8:45. So if you arrive at 8:00 you won't have a problem. Don't arrive at the last minute.

The event fee for the autocross is $30 for members and $40 for non-members at this event.


SUNday August 24th Test and Tune Day
These Sunday Test and Tune Events will be held the day after the Saturday Harry Grove Stadium Autocrosses in Frederick , MD. The Test and Tune event will be an informal autocross using the same/similar course as the day before. The differences are the following:


  1. Field is limited to 40 participants with about 5 organizers (for a total of 45 vehicles).
  2. Times will be announced and recorded on the timesheet, but no results, no points, and no indexes will be posted –This is only for fun
  3. No extra runs if we miss a time – This is only for fun
  4. The format will be 2 heats with 5 morning and afternoon runs (number of runs in the afternoon will depend on time and weather conditions. We hope to give 9 to 11 runs).
  5. No food or drinks will be provided – We need to keep the amount of equipment to a minimum. So plan on either bringing drinks and food or going out to lunch.
  6. Event is open to members and their guests only, since the event is so limited in size.
  7. The entry fee is $35 per member, $45 for non-members.

$10 Discount on Second Slot (Saturday Only)

To help increase interested in this event, we are offering the following special.

For anyone paying for a second slot (Saturday Only), the second slot will be $10 off. So if you are a member the second slot for a member will only be $20. If the second slot is for a non-member the cost will be $30 (rather than $40).

The second slot can be used the same driver (e.g. they would drive in two heats) or for a guest.

If you sign up for a second slot, just type "Second Slot" in the Notes Section. Otherwise, we may think you mistakenly submitted duplicate reservations. As a clarification, you get a $10 discount for each participant at full price (e.g. every other person will get a $10 discount).

Remember, to make a second slot, MAKE A SECOND RESERVATION (if the second slot is for a different person, type "Second slot for (type the name of the first slot person)".

-Several people used the second slot for a guest (some that never autocrossed with CDC)
-Many participants used the second slot to get 12 runs
-Some used the second slot to be a point autocross in the 6 morning runs (since only the first 6 counted for points) then treated the afternoon as a TNT by trading cars with other two slot participants

This offer is only extended for this event at Harry Grove Stadium on Saturday August 23rd, 2014. This is the last event for the $10 discount for this year.
