Triple Threat

For the first time, Bridge City Autosports teams up with Northwest Autosports Association (NWAA) for the annual Triple Threat event – drag, drift, and autocross.

August 25th-27th, 2017 —- Dallesport, WA (Columbia Gorge Regional AIrport)

At triple threat, clubs and drivers from all over – autocross clubs, drift clubs, any car club – team together to compete in three different events: 1/8th mile drag race, autocross, and a drift course.

Each team must choose members to compete in each event. Not every team member is required to compete in all three events, but each must compete in at least two of the events to be scored. Each event will be scored separately, and then the event scores will be added together for each team.

Free on site camping is provided on grass, you may not have a fire but you can use a BBQ. No trash service is provided, be prepared to bring with you whatever you bring there.

Deliberate disregard for highway laws at ANY time during the weekend may be grounds for a team’s disqualification, this applies to all club members, racing or not. This could result in the loss of the event site.

Teams:
In order to keep confusion to a minimum, each club will have to select someone in advance to act as a team captain, this person will keep track of team members. Entry fees will be by pre-registration only. Team captains should have a record of team members.
The team captain should remain responsible for overseeing the conduct of ALL club members both at the site, and coming and going from the site. This needs to stay a safe, fun, and legal event; we need to make sure we conduct ourselves this way.
Your team captain is the ONLY person on your team allowed to speak for, or negotiate for your team. Teams will consist of a minimum: 3 drivers and 2 cars. The maximum team size is 30.

To register a team that is not on the team list (see registration page), please email Nick webmaster@nwautox.org

There is a MAXIMUM of 10 teams. Sign up now!

Participants designate their team at time of registration, they may change teams ONLY if that team fails to show up. This needs to be completed and decided by Friday of the event. 

All cars will have 3 digit numbers; the first digit will indicate the team you are running for (example: 1XX for NWAA, 2XX for BCA, 3XX for WMC etc.) Numbers must be displayed on both sides of the car. On dual driver cars, only ONE number may be visible at a time (no crossing out numbers, unless the numbers are already permanently affixed to the car). Numbers must be at least 8 inches tall. (Taped numbers OK)

All participants will work during the events – shagging cones, watching spectators for safety, etc. This event is put on by BCA and NWAA, but it is ultimately the job of every participant to make it a success. There will be stations to be worked at, that will be assigned to each participant during the events. If you do not work, you do not drive.

Acceleration test (Drag):
Drag will NOT be side by side – only one car at a time in a straight line. The course will be long enough to be interesting but short enough to stay within our insurance rules and safety considerations (1/8 mile is the goal). The top three scores for each team will be used for final ranking.

NITROUS MUST BE REMOVED or CONFIRMED DISCONNECTED prior to competing. All cars must pass tech. Any car equipped with No2 must declare that at tech inspection, so we can confirm it is disconnected for drift and AX, failure to do so will result in DQ and loss of all points by that car.

Drifting:
Each drift competitor will be scored by a panel of designated judges. The top three scores from each team will be used in final ranking.

For safety reasons, only rear wheel drive vehicles will be allowed to participate in the drift event.

NITROUS MUST BE REMOVED or CONFIRMED DISCONNECTED prior to competing. All cars must pass tech. Any car equipped with No2 must declare that at tech inspection, so we can confirm it is disconnected for drift and AX, failure to do so will result in DQ and loss of all points by that car.

Autocross:
Drivers will be scored on raw times, the top three fastest times from each team will be used in final ranking.

NITROUS MUST BE REMOVED or CONFIRMED DISCONNECTED prior to competing. All cars must pass tech. Any car equipped with No2 must declare that at tech inspection, so we can confirm it is disconnected for drift and AX, failure to do so will result in DQ and loss of all points by that car.

Dual drivers:
Dual drivers will be split between run groups, and must be designated in advance. Car substitutions are allowed at our discretion in the event of a failure. Borrowed cars MUST have been teched and approved for the event in advance. And borrowing the car cannot put it above the 2 driver limit.
