| WA VCA is proud to announce our first ever Auto-Cross series! We have four events planned for Saturdays from May, 2010 through August 2010, and are pleased to invite you to join us in having some fun. These events are focused on learning more about your car, and having fun! We want you to bring your car out to a controlled environment, really learn how to drive it, and learn what it can do, in a safety-oriented, family-friendly way. What is Auto-Cross? Auto-Cross is a relatively slow-speed test of maneuvering through a course of tightly placed rubber cones, on a flat, open track surface. There is a start, a finish, and a whole lot of twists and turns in between. The idea is to see how quickly you can get through the course, without knocking over any cones. If you do knock over a cone, don't worry! You get a couple of penalty seconds added to your time, but no big deal – it's bound to happen to everyone, sooner or later. That's why they're made of soft, pliable PVC rubber. You can take multiple runs, and gauge your personal improvement by the time and penalty points you accumulate on your runs. It's a real blast for novices and experts alike. The best part is, the track is on a closed airport runway that we've rented for the day, so there's no other traffic to contend with, no speed limit (on the track), and if (when) you run over a rubber cone, you're not very likely to hurt your car, yourself, or anyone else. You'll be hard pressed to exceed normal freeway speed, so this is nothing like NASCAR or other high-speed driving events. Lunch is provided, so plan on coming out for the whole day. Spectators are not allowed, so everyone who attends must be a registered participant, sign a waiver, and help in some way. Registered “Drivers” will be expected to help as course workers (flaggers, timers, registrars, etc), and "Non-Drivers" can assist with lunch and beverages (or course work!). We have intentionally not hired paid course workers to keep the total cost as low as possible. More affordable means more fun, more often! How do I sign up? If you are already a VCA member (any VCA club), please fill in the registration form, sign it, and send it with your entry fee to the registration address. Please make checks payable to "WAVCA". If you are a former VCA member, or otherwise eligible for VCA membership (e.g. own a Viper), please send in your new or renewal membership form to national VCA headquarters, and then send a copy of it with your completed registration form and entry fees to the address below. By sending us a copy of your renewal, it will get the information to us much faster, and help ensure that we can get you into the event. Don't delay! You won't want to miss this! If you don't own a Viper, please contact any officer of the Washington VCA, and submit an application for Associate Membership. Then send in your completed registration information and entry fee to the registration address. You can do this in one step, if you prefer, by sending your membership request, event registration, and both membership and entry fees, to the registration address. WA VCA reserves the right to refuse Associate Membership to anyone for any reason. Once you are approved, your event registration will be processed. Registration for the event will be available on-site, the day of each event. So, if you completely forget about this until the day before, please come on out anyway! Registration Address Please contact Steve O'Neill for the registration address. Details Want to know more? Click here for details.... |
