| The Club Autocross Championships will return to Mather Air Force Base on March 21, 2010. Start times for our run group, which more than likely will be the street tire class, will be published at a later date when the SCCA gets their act together. Some of us with turbos, superchargers, R compound tires and class specific cars will run at other times. This competition is open to first time competitors as well as seasoned vets. No experience is needed. You will be placed in a class with competitors equal to you regardless of ability or experience. All, including the ladies, are welcome to run in this event. To determine your class, download the rules which are located here. Go through the list of modifications done to your car. Each mod has a point value. Total your points and then compare the total to the classes at the top of the page. That more than likely will be your class. Some adjustments take place so that first timers with lots of mods and no experience are not thrown in with the lots of mods and experience crowd. This event, every year so far, has been won by a different member and the field is always wide open. We are changing the classes a little this year. Novice, II, III, Open and Ladies are this year's classes with Open being for those with hideously modified cars and Novice being for the first or second timers. Ladies run together regardless of experience. This event is meant to be a fun introduction to Autocross and a low key kind of event with everyone helping to get the most out of your experience. The entrants with the most experience will be glad to help those beginning this activity for the first time. Trophies are given to the top times in each class and to others depending on the size of each class. Mather Field is known for its high grip concrete sections and long courses. There will, more than likely, be about 150 other cars out there with varying amounts of experience so whatever your level of ability there will be someone like you probably right next to you on the grid. Last year we had 12 drivers from first timers to ladies and more than hideously modified cars. Last year's Club Champion was our President, Robin George. Robin will be in the sights of several of this year's entrants. Jack Parker (916) 698-2006 |
