Airport Rules

  • Our events are held at the Santa Maria Airport, within the Airport Operations Area (AOA), which is a Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) controlled facility with strictly enforced security.
  • PCA-CCCR must conduct this event according to airport and TSA rules.
  • Participants must enter and leave via only one secure gate monitored by a TSA guard we provide. It is a Federal Offense to enter the airport controlled area any other way.
  • All persons entering the airport will be required to sign an event waiver and be issued a wristband that must be worn at all times within the TSA boundaries.
  • All persons granted entry must be a driver or a volunteer event worker.
  • If you have adult persons accompanying you, they must complete a work assignment, just as you must complete your work assignment when you are not driving. Non-driving volunteer workers must be approved in advance by the Auto-Cross Chair, Warren White.
  • Make sure you have enough fuel for all runs before entering as you will not have much time at the lunch break to get fuel.
  • Minors are not allowed due to insurance and airport restrictions.

Event Requirements

  • The gate will open at 7:00 a.m. and will be locked at 8:45 a.m. There will be no dedicated time for lunch, so eat your lunch during your rest period. Make sure you have everything you need, including enough fuel, as the gate will be closed until the conclusion of the event.  No one will be allowed to enter after 8:45 a.m., so get there early.
  • We strongly urge you to arrive no later than 7:15 a.m. to be sure you get checked in, get your car through tech, and walk the course before the driver's meeting at 8:30 a.m.
  • Tech Inspection will close promptly at 8:00 a.m. to allow time for the inspectors to walk the course themselves, so again, get to the track early. There will be no exceptions to this, so if you cannot get to the track by then, you will need to have your car "teched" by a qualified station ahead of time and bring a copy of the inspection sheet.
  • Click HERE for Tech Sheet. You will still have to be signed off to receive your green tech sticker.
  • The first run session begins promptly at 9:00 a.m.
  • Click HERE for a map to the Santa Maria Airport.

Car Classes - Porsches

  • All Porsche Automobiles need to be correctly classified.  We will use the PCA Zone 8 classifications, less the Street Stock classes for all Porsches.
  • It is necessary that you classify your Porsche before registering for the event.  To go to the Zone 8 classification system, click HERE. This will take you to the registration page. If you are already registered, use the MENU drop down list for other options.
  • Each entrant is responsible for correctly classifying his/her own car. All cars are subject to further scrutiny and reclassification at the discretion of the AX Chair at any time during an event.  If a car is found to be misclassified, after timed runs begin, the event may be scored as if the car did not compete.
  • Car classification serves two purposes. The first is fairness in competition through grouping together cars with similar performance characteristics. Second is to determine the safety equipment required by the vehicle. Classifying a car is a multi-step process. First the entrant must determine which classes from the list in the Zone 8 Rules they are qualified to run in. If running in classes CC01 - CC16, the entrant then must check for Tire Size & Performance Equipment Points and add that point total to their Base Points to calculate the correct class.
  • Drivers and vehicles are required to have all necessary safety equipment as required for their level of performance equipment.
  • If you normally compete in a Street Stock class in other Regions, you will need to classify your car in one of the Point Classes for this event. Your times will be sent to the Zone 8 AX Chairman for entry into the Zone 8 Final Results page for your Street Stock class.

Car Classes Non-Porsche

  • Non-PCA members will need to provide their tires UTQG treadwear rating. You will then be divided into one of two classes.
  • Open "A" Class: Those vehicles that utilize 200 Treadwear or less tires.
  • Open "B" Class: Those vehicles that utilize greater than 200 Treadwear tires.

For All Competitors

  • Standard or better safety belts, Snell 2005 (Until June 20, 2016) 2010 or 2015 M, K or SA helmet.  Recommend long sleeve cotton shirt, long cotton pants, thin rubber or leather soled shoes without lugs on the sole, cotton socks.  Some shared rental  helmets will be available for $5/day.  (What this means is after the conclusion of your run group, you must return the helmet to the rental table for someone else to use for their run group.  For your next run group you may re-select the helmet.)  We urge all regular competitors to obtain their own helmet.
  • Check brakes, add tire pressure, check oil, etc. before arriving at facility.  No air will be available.  It would be a good idea if you would run through our tech checklist before you arrive the track to speed up the tech process.
  • All entrants are assigned to work in groups when they are not running.  Depending on run sequence, this will include working after your run group has completed for the day. Failure to complete your work assignment will result in omission from the results and possible forfeiture of future events.
  • If you are sharing a car with another driver, please let us know when you sign up.
  • Port-a-Potty’s will be on site.
  • All auto-cross events are Rain or Shine events.
  • Alice Ober will again be there with her delicious sandwiches.

                     

Competition

  • We have established a new points system to be used in lieu of trophies for each event whereby a participant will earn points in each class for the Championship trophy at the end of the year.
  • The 1st place driver in each class will earn 100 points. All others in the same class will earn a percentage of the 100 points depending on how close they are to the winning time. What this means is that everyone who participates, even the last place driver, will get points. Points Method: Percentage (time #1/time*100.000)
  • Drivers must participate in at least 3 events for the year to be eligible for trophies. You may drop two events for points championship.
  • If you are a single entry in your class, you will receive 90 points.
  • Participants in Teststrecke XV, our first event this year, are included for earning yearend points.
