Proxy Drivers

Proxy drivers are not allowed. By signing up for this event, you are guaranteeing that YOU are the driver who will be attending the event. You may not register yourself and have some other person attend the event in your place. If you do, the person at the event will be immediately removed and you will be blacklisted from attending future autocross events.

Car Numbers

Tech Inspection Checklist

Your car must be in good condition and it must pass the on-site technical inspection to participate in the event. Vehicles are allowed to run at the sole discretion of the Autocross Chair.
A tech inspection good for the whole season is available. This season long inspection is attractive to many drivers but is voluntary. All drivers who want an Annual Tech Inspection sticker must submit a completed IMF (Inspection and Modification Form). Random tech inspections will be performed for cars with the Tech Inspection sticker.
Please note that BMW drivers competing for season points must submit the completed IMF prior the season end.

Verify all of the following conditions are met before arriving at the event:

Helmet - must be with your car for Tech Inspection

Each driver must wear a helmet. The helmet must be rated Snell M2010 (or later) or Snell SA2010 (or newer).
Non-compliant helmets will be confiscated and returned at the end of the day.
A limited number of loaner helmets are available.

Sound Levels
We will be using a sound meter at multiple locations each event and each run group. The determination of whether a car is excessively loud is at the discretion of the Autocross Chair and Tech Chief. If your car is deemed over the limit, you will be asked to muffle the sounds in order to reduce its level or leave the event.

All autocross registrants are required to work their assigned position. You will be required to work twice in one day.
