Reno Divisional AutoX Event June 25/26
The planning for this event is beginning to shift into high gear. I'm sure we'll discuss this topic at tonight's Renoscca meeting; but also wanted you all to know that a search for volunteers for this event is on.
What it is: Autocross at Stead, with invitations that go out to all the SCCA Norpac regions (NNV, N. CA, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, and Alaska). It is stop #2 of 4 divisional events (first was at Atwater; 2nd is here, 3rd is at Packwood, WA (near Mt. Rainier), and the 4th in Montana. People who are competing for divisional points need to participate in 3 out of 4 events to be eligible for divisional awards -- however, both days are also Reno Region points events. A divisional is run under a stricter set of rules than our typical regional events (i.e. you need to be an SCCA member; no passengers; actual hit cone numbers are recorded at each corner station; etc.). If you want to be a competitor alongside some of the best autox'rs in the country, with some of the best-prepared cars, plan to participate. This is not meant to scare off any novices, we will have the Novice class as well -- I'm just telling you it's a chance to see how some of the masters of this sport get it done.
I hear that Scott will be designing the event shirt (again - Scott, your reputation in design is preceeding you!); and Matt will be using his connections to get this to production. And then Scott & Dean will be handling Timing & Scoring, which is a pretty big job in a Divisional event. I am considering another chief position as well.
If you have interest in volunteering for some extra help at this event, make yourself known. We want to make this divisional shine as an event to remember in our Norpac division.
