About this event
This is partial extension of our DSC #1, but the format will consist of a full autocross course - so everyone is invited to attend! The course will have specific elements to work on specific skills, so that both DSC students can use it, as well as general attendees.
Those who sign up for the DSC portion will be assigned an instructor to work closely with on the course and its various elements. Those who sign up as general admission are on their own!
This will be run much like a normal event, so there will be no formal lunch break - bringing food is recommended. The goal is to be done by around 2-3pm.
It will be held at Columbia Gorge Regional Airport (Dallesport, WA) on Sunday July 14th, 2019. This is following a fun run day we are hosting for the PNW Contour Club. You may consider attending both days for ultimate fun!
Online registration will remain open until midnight Saturday July 13th, 2019. The event will have a cap of 50.
We highly recommend pre-registering for the event, because walk-up availability is not guaranteed.
May it be your best year ever, and always remember to enjoy the ride!
Please remember to have your vehicle ready for tech inspection the morning of the event, if you do not participate in the annual tech program.
