About this event
Registration opens approximately 6 weeks from event for drivers and volunteer workers. If you would like a reminder from MSR about registration opening please click on “Remind me” at the bottom of the event page. I will also send out a reminder. SCCA members only may register as a driver in first 10 days, then open to non-members. Make sure your membership is valid before registration opens, or your entry will be rejected. Cards will be charged when you register. You will have the opportunity to withdraw with refund (-$2 MSR fee) until 14 days before the event, after that you are considered an entrant and no refund. None of this has changed, just a reminder. . .
If you’ve noticed, the schedule includes Friday. While there is no competition runs on Fridays, we will have a registration and tech open in the afternoon. If you are a novice, please plan on arriving Friday for tech especially if you don’t have a current logbook or annual tech so as not to miss any runs on Saturday. And on Friday evening for most of the events, there is a meet and greet/car show for local community. Please plan on attending if possible, so the local fans can have an up close and personal look at the cars and meet the drivers.
GENERAL WEEKEND SCHEDULE: A more specific timeline for each event will be published and posted on MSR.
Friday: Course set up (will post a link if you would like to volunteer), Registration and Tech open in afternoon. Course orientation for novices and anyone else interested. Car show in the evening.
Saturday: Registration and tech open in the morning. Drivers and workers meetings before runs begin. Competition runs begin approximately 8:30 – 9 am depending on course set up and weather conditions. Listen for announcements. Runs will end in the afternoon with a break for lunch.
