Pre-register, it speeds things up in the morning and reduces the chances of computer issues during the day.

i will probably head out to watch, maybe see if someone would be willing to let me go for a ride... can't currently afford to go out and drive... but sounds like fun...

[Mr Yuck]

You're welcome to take a ride with me in the Volvo wagon. I'm not the fastest, but I'm told that I appear to be having the most fun.

i've never done autocross before, but I want to. maybe this is my chance?

[Ninja_Bear]

They using the full road course?

[SOMTA]

What's it cost to go watch? Would love to do it with the TA, but at $260 a pop for the tire itself it's a little spendy. :(

Absolutely, it's a very novice friendly sport. You can basically pass tech if the car's not falling apart and if the battery is tied down. We have loaner helmets.

They using the full road course?
We'll be using the road course, but with cones to mark out the course, making it more technical and safe. I don't know if we'll use the entire course. The tire marks we make will make the road course users second guess their lines. :D

Cost to watch/ride is $0

Only licensed drivers are allowed in grid and riding in cars.

thank you man...

OT, but i think that i see you floating around town... you spend any time in the valley?

[Mr Yuck]

Occasionally; I tend to visit Pull and Save, Costco, and Winco out there. Here's my car in daily driver form. (just the wheels are different)

This is my approximation after helping setup. The straights have technical elements, most of the turns are basically road course lines.

so, question, if one were coming out here to spectate, would one be parking in the "pits" area that everyone parks in for the FNSR program? or would we be parking somewhere else?

[Mr Yuck]

Park in the pits.

[silver_echo]

Park in the pits.

thank you for confirmation...

[Mr Yuck]

*Correction*
Saturday, we parked at the end of the drag strip by the finish.
