Event Information

What should I do when I arrive?

1. Sign the waiver when you enter the lot.  All drivers and crew must sign the waiver and have a wristband.
2. Find a spot to part.  There will be a few cars already there so find a spot and start emptying everything out of your car including floormats, garbage and the spare tire.
3. Walk the course!  The more you walk the course the better so find a CART officer and introduce yourself and we will be more than happy to give pointers on how to get the most our of your car
4. Confirming registration at the trailer will begin and be called out on the speakers. Registration will close at 10:30 no late registrations will be accepted.
5. All attendees will be required to work at least one work shift per event.  You will be assigned a work assignment when you check in at the trailer.  Failure to work your assigned shift will result in loss of ALL recorded times. Multiple violations will result in an entrant being banned from our events.

How do I get numbers on my car?

1. If you dont have painters tape then ask a member if they have some that you can use.  Use tape when you get assigned your numbers and speak to us about getting better quality numbers and magnets.
2. Car numbers should be 8 inches high, class letters should be 4 inches.  Car number is required and the class is recommended so others can easily see what C class you are in.

Whats with the C classes?

1. C classes are  based on your SCCA class.  Every production car has an SCCA class and at CART we group classes together so you will always have someone you are racing against.  No one car classes here!  Some of our classes will have 6-8 cars in a class and very close in times.

What car cant I bring to an autocross?
