[turbosporttsi]

There will be a link in the first post of this thread once registration is open, which is 21 days prior to the event.

I updated the frist post with a link though it won't be active until registration opens on the 26th.

I might actually make this one.

<crossing fingers, knocking on wood, throwing salt over my shoulder, picked up a penny, broke a leg, and everything else that's considered good luck...>

looks like I'm out....good friend having a big going-away party/engagement party all day and not gonna miss it.

Guess I"m rallycrossing on the 11th instead

Where's your rallycross going to be? Is it the SCCA event at Summit Point?

[Chris540i6]

I should be at this one.

Did we ever get point totals for the season?

There's an onsite tech inspection - basically we will ensure that the interior of the car is cleaned out (to avoid projectiles), make sure the wheels/tires/suspension won't fall off the car, and there's no major leaks in the engine bay. No need to get anything signed, etc. before the event.

thanks for the info!!

Hi, I'm new to BMW CCA and I'm assuming I belong to this chapter (or do I need to register?). I live in Waldorf and I was interested in spectating this event. Are there any fees or are the fees only to autocross?

Hi, there's no fees to come watch.

The best seat in the house is behind the wheel. Why not compete? If you're new to autocross, there are plenty of folks that can help you out.

True story. I brought 2 guys with me to the last Cumberland autox. 1 drove and 1 spectated. The one who spectated immediately knew it was a mistake to leave his car.

That being said, you can't fault someone from wanting to see how it works before trying it. The best way, in my opinion, is to register for the afternoon session. that way you can show up early for the AM session and watch it, then run in the PM session. This is what myself and a buddy did last year and it turned out great.

See you out there!

Well to tell you the truth, I live like 5 min. away, and my car needs to be up-to-date before I put it under any stess. Bushings, etc. I'll be fine spectating and meeting you guys.

I am not sure if this is the right thread, but I will ask my question anyway.

I had several issues with autocross registration:

1. It does not allow me to change info about my car in my autocross subscription (I fill out the form, click continue, it says it is successful, but then when I come back to the page, it is only partially updated. The most important pieces of info - the new class is not updated)
2. I cannot delete my old car from my garage
3. I cannot register the second driver for the same event for the same car

A can live with 2 & 3, but the first question is critical. I wrote them an email through their help system a couple of days ago, but I have not heard anything back yet.
Any suggestions?

Thank you.
