Quote I'm pleased to announce our second autocross event of 2011 for Sunday June 5th!


We are making a few improvements to the event, the first being that we will no longer be doing registration and payment onsite. From now on, this must all be done online via Karelo, just like UBC club events. This will eliminate the clumsy morning registration.

This event is capped at 50 drivers. Pre-registration via Karelo is mandatory. There will be absolutely no refunds. We will only issue a credit for future autocross events if you cancel within 24 hours or more in advance. If you "no show" for the event, we will not refund or credit you. If you are not sure you can attend, please do not pre-register. Pre-registration on Karelo is the only way to sign up for this event. Those showing up with cash on the morning of the event will be turned away.

Cost is $40 per driver, and includes all fees and taxes. ( HST number: 81333 1451 RT0001)

Please note: You do not need to be a Porsche Club member or own a Porsche to participate. We welcome everyone to join us! Friends and family are welcome to come and spectate as well: there is no need to sign-up if you just want to watch, however EVERYONE that is on-site MUST sign the liability waivers.

There is absolutely ZERO TOLERANCE for any burnouts, reckless driving, or loud stereos on Ford Road at any time. Anyone caught breaking this rule will be immediately, and permanently, banned from all 3 local autocross clubs without warning.

Please obey the stop signs abeam the runway, and wait for any aircraft that are taking off or landing before resuming.

Gates will be open by 8:00am. Please don't arrive too early as a line will form on Ford Road, however you must be onsite and checked-in by 9am, or you will not run. The last run will be finished by 4:30pm. If you drive, you must work. If you cannot work, or need to leave early early, it must be prearranged with us, or else you will not be welcome back.

Free instruction and a limited amount of loaner helmets are available for novice drivers! Drivers of all skill levels are encouraged to come out!

You are welcome to bring your own helmet as long as it is a 2000 or newer model M or SA helmet.

Please make sure your vehicle is free of all loose objects, including your trunk compartment, and that your battery is firmly bolted down in place. Any vehicles found to be mechanically unsafe will not be allowed to run, and no refund will be given.


Karelo registration

It looks like this time you have until 8pm the day before to register.

Next weekend will be busy. Arlington on Saturday, autocross on Sunday.

Hopefully the mighty Duke will be able to handle all the pressure.

So who (besides me) is planning to go to this autocross hosted by the Porsche club on Sunday June 5th, the day after Arlington?

Colby? Gary? Alan? Harrison? Harrison's dad? Tristan? Brian? Johnny?

Did I miss anyone who might be interested?

The weather is expected to be perfect, and the track should be dry!

Hmm, I might need sunscreen this time.

I'll be registering shortly, just need to confirm with my uncle that he's co-driving with me.

Guys, a couple questions about the Karelo registration...

What is the "Autocross club bar code"? Is that the six digit CACC paper thingy I got last year?

Am I still regarded as a "Novice" after having run in three autocrosses last year?

Quick answers would be appreciated as I'm in the middle of registering online.  Thanks!

[EDIT] Didn't want to wait any longer (and have it sell out while I was stalling!), so I used my CACC number and I put myself down as a "Novice", as what the heck I still drive like one on the track.

Woo hoo, I'm pumped!

Yes, the same barcode that you got from VCMC last year. They didn't use it last event and probably won't on the 5th, so don't worry about it too much.

I think they classify novices as 3 or less. If you don't feel like a novice anymore then say you're not. It doesn't matter since this is just for fun.


EDIT: I'm too slow!

Wild-child here never had the tail come out once last autocross, thank you very much. My most trouble-worthy action was an apparent failure to stop in the damn box on my fastest run.

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Well, that report was all very fine and dandy, but I neglected to see any mention made of this Sunday.

So, hotshot... you coming out to play?

I'm hoping you can. I wish to put Gretchin in her place.

Signed up and co-driving Colby's Fiero.  I think Colby said he'd buy me a year's worth of autocrosses if I could manage to beat him on Sunday.

Apparently emails aren't private anymore... what I actually said (in response to my uncle wanting to beat to my dad's time) was: "I'm registered now and it looks like Brian and Patrick are too. So if you can't beat one old guy driving a mid-engined car, there's now two more for you to try to beat!"

I'm not sure I'm prepared to bet a years worth of autocrosses, but a bet does sound like an interesting idea.

Now that's going to be interesting... seeing how a 4-banger Fiero responds to an experienced autocross driver who's used to driving more powerful vehicles.

I thought I heard Colby say he'd pay the entry fees for every Fiero at every event this summer if you beat him.

Them's fighting words, sonny.

Colby, you better hope Tristan signs up so that us "old guys" will have more than one kid to kick around.
