About this event
Die Serie #1 is the annual start of our points autocross season. There will be a limited number of participants. Priority is given to New Mexico PCA members but others may register. All registrations will be on hold until PCA membership is confirmed or until April 2nd, whichever is later. Advance registration is required of all participants to minimize contact with staff. You may cancel your registration at any time without penalty.

If you are a PCA member or want to volunteer, contact the event coordinator. Priority was given to Roadrunner PCA members. Others were wait-listed then will be notified beginning on Friday April 2 regarding availability.
Entry Fee: $60 for PCA members; $65 for non-PCA members There is no charge for volunteer, non-driving workers, or photographers. Drivers will be charged following the event. There is no charge for canceling; however, please let us know if you cancel after the close of on-line registration so someone wait-listed may attend.

Event requirements
You must have a valid drivers license to attend our driving events and be 18 years of age or older unless you are eligible for the Porsche Junior Participation Program. You also must sign our PCA insurance waiver, COVID-19 liability waivers, and wear a wristband.
Before you can participate in our autocross, your car will need to pass a basic tech inspection. Tech inspection will take place each day before the start of any driving. Most street cars easily pass the inspection. The owner/driver should do a pre-tech inspection (PCAAutocrossSafetyInspectionChecklistMay2020.pdf) no earlier than 4 weeks prior to the event. You do not have to drive a Porsche to participate.
Helmets: Snell-rated SA2010, SAH2010, or M2010 or newer helmets are required when driving. Equivalent helmets (not DOT) may be used.
Instructors are available at the grid. However, in-car instructors will not be available; therefore we are not accepting first-time autocrossers as drivers.
Only members of the same household may share driving a vehicle.
This is a "Run/Work" event. That means you are required to work a position when you are not driving during the autocross. We also appreciate any help you can give us before the course walk and during tear-down.
