Porsche Club of America – San Diego Region welcomes you!
Please be sure to read all of the information below, especially if you are new to running with us. Even if you're not, there are changes from past events at this track, such as a new event hotel, so everyone please read!
NOTE: Due to lack of demand for a DE group at this event, it has been decided that the format for this event will be exclusively Time Trial. Thus, in order to register for this event (despite what the text regarding DE participation says below) you must have the approriate driving prerequisites. Contact the Registrar if you have any questions.
Join us as we continue the fantastic 2011 season at Southern California's reference track: Willow Springs International Raceway's 2.5 mile road course, Saturday & Sunday, September 24 & 25. This event features both a DE and a Time Trial, with separate run groups for each event and differing entrant requirements (see Prior Experience section on the following page). Time Trial run groups will feature Transponder timing with times posted after each session as well as online after the event (no timing for DE run groups though in-car timers are currently permitted except for novices).
As always, groups will be allocated based upon demand. Note that the Club may decide not to include a DE novice group at this particular track, but that determination has yet to be made. If you are a DE novice (i.e., you do not yet meet the driving prerequisites to participate in a Time Trial) that wishes to participate, sign up to indicate your interest and you will be notified in advance as to whether or not a group for you will be included at the event. Cards are not charged when you register regardless of what the online system states during the registration process.
To register online and save up to $35, we require that you join our group here on MotorsportReg.com. Regardless of which region of PCA you belong to or if you don't belong to PCA at all, you must join the SDR group on this web site. This will be done as a step in the registration process. Non-Porsches that meet our rules are welcome!!!
Taste of the Track: If you'd like to experience the thrill of a Time Trial or DE without actually taking the wheel you may sign up for our Taste of the Track program. For $100 you will receive all communications that our drivers receive, participate in all drivers meetings, and ride along in the passenger seat of one of our skilled Instructor's cars all weekend. In short, you'll receive the same experience as one of our Students without actually driving. To register for Taste of the Track simply sign up as if you were a Student participating in the event but in the Notes to the Registrar section enter "Taste of the Track". Prior to your card actually being charged, your total due will be adjusted to $100.
NEW (ultra-luxury, deluxe) Event Hotel (and it's closer to the track and walking distance to Black Angus): Hampton Inn & Suites Lancaster, 2300 W Double Play Way, Lancaster, CA 93536, (661) 940-9194. Ask for the Porsche Club of San Diego group rate of only $99 per night (single through quad; includes homemade waffles, etc. for breakfast). Room block dropped at midnight on September 2 so reserve now. Call directly rather than using the hotels.com link to the right in order to get the Club's rate.
Camping at the Track: You may camp at the track. Please phone the track to make arrangements. There may be separate fees payable to the track in order to camp.
Late Registration: You must register and pay by 11:59 pm September 9 to receive the discounted online rate; after that a $25 late fee applies through September 19. Online registration closes at 11:59 pm May 19, after which significantly higher on-site registration fees apply. If unable to register online, you may register by faxing in the standard form, available in the Windblown Witness or on the pcasdr.org website (higher fees apply).
Payment: You MUST use a credit card to pay if registering online, VISA or MasterCard only. For complete event pricing details proceed with registration steps. You will have a chance to confirm after you make your selections. Card billed AFTER the event.
If you have a question about this event, please contact the Registrar at: preregAway@pcasdr.org.

Pre-tech is Strongly Encouraged! Please try to take your car in for service and have it thoroughly inspected prior to this event. With two full days of our high track time event in the high desert, you will want to be safe and have your car make it through the weekend. Plus you'll want to be certain that, before you leave for the track, you and your car have any required safety equipment (Stock and Street Stock coupes generally need no additional safety equipment, but see the Rules link below to be sure that you qualify). All entrants pre-teching must present a Tech Inspection Form with name, address, phone, car, class, etc. to a qualified tech inspection shop. The form can be found at: http://pcasdr.net/pcasdr/forms/AXRegForm.pdf. The Tech Inspection Form has changed for 2011. Please download the new form using the link above. Do not use the old form. Cars inspected by shops not personally known to the Registrar are subject to random on-site re-inspection.
PCA Zone 8 Driving Rules can be found here: http://zone8.pca.org/rules/2011/2011Z8Rules.pdf.
If there are any changes to your registration data after the online registration deadline, you need to notify the Registrar by the day of the event BEFORE the first run session.
All entrants and guests shall be required to sign the PCA waiver upon registering at the track. This is in addition to any waiver that the track itself may require you to sign. You are responsible for your guests and may be asked to leave the event if your guests are found to have not signed the PCA waiver.
The track may charge its own separate nominal entrance fee. This fee does not go to PCA and is beyond our control.
Transponders: If you have an AMB Transponder, be sure you've entered the number under "My Account." (Hint: you do this where you edit your vehicle information.) If you don't have a Transponder, they are available for rent and you must have a Transponder to drive in the Time Trial. Transponder not required for DE registrants.
