PLEASE READ

• If you are interested in attending this event and you did not get in before registration sold out, please register anyway. A waitlist will be formed and after reg closes at NOON on Wednesday, we will likely have more room due to last minute cancellations.
• This event is NOT recommended for first timers. However, if you are new to autocross and are interested in attending, please write us ahead of time and let us know.
• This is a self-tech event. You are required to ensure the safety of your own vehicle. Checklist items are included on the next page, and will be e-mailed to you a few days prior to the event.
• All cars are welcome and unlike our driving schools, stock convertibles are accepted - roll cages are not required. We do not allow SUV/SAV vehicles to participate however.
• Snell 2005 or 2010 helmets (M or SA) are now required for all GGC driving events. Check the sticker in your helmet and make sure it is still valid. We will check all helmets at registration. If your helmet is expired, we have a small number of loaners available.
• Please check your individual insurance policy for coverage details with regards to participating at this event.
• Registration closes at Noon on March 7th, 2012. 

Join us for a pre-season open test and practice day at Marina. This is an open format event that will run from 8am until 5pm. No run groups or car classes assigned, just plenty of opportunity for tuning and practice, and of course fun driving!

We plan to offer three tuning exercises:

1) Figure 8/Skidpad (dual purpose exercise)
2) Short slalom course
3) Mini autocross course

The mini-autocross course will include various elements you can expect to see during a competition event. The timing equipment will be set up with the display at the finish so you can run the course and see if your tuning tweeks are making you faster.

We will start set up around 8am and expect to open the test areas by 9am. Any help setting up is always appreciated! Donuts will be provided to fuel the setup crew, so come early and lend a hand.

Upon arrival you will be required to check in at the trailer, sign the waivers, get your helmet checked, and get a wrist band. Only registered people will be allowed on site - no guests.

Participants are welcome to come and go throughout the day and run the exercises as much as you want. Even if you cannot tune your car's suspension, running the mini course is a great way to practice for our first competition event on Saturday April 14th, 2012.

Like our Car Control Clinics, participants are responsible for picking up any cones you knock over. Please be kind to the other drivers and pick up any cones you knock over as it is bad karma to not pick up your downed cones. If we get reports of people continuously knocking down cones and not picking them up, then we will be forced to send you home and your event fee will not be refunded.
