The nomenclature has changed for this season. Here's the current naming scheme:

Autocross:
School - the annual n00b school to teach people what autocross is about
Test-n-Tune - a non-points event where runs are available for testing your car
Points Event - a normal regional event, points are awarded towards the regional championships
Divisional Event - a more involved event, points are awarded towards the regional championships and the divisional championship (we are not holding a Divisional this year)
National Tour Event - even more involved than a divisional, very tough competition, points are awarded towards the National Tour championship
Nationals - the week-long year end National Championship event held in Topeka

Trials:
PDX (Level 1) - Performance Driving Experience, i.e. a "track day" where the point is simply track time and instruction, no timing
Club Trial (Level 2) - A time trial event where instruction is available, think of it as a timed track day
Track Trial (Level 3) - A time trial event where competition is the focus
Hill Climb (Level 4) - Think "Pikes Peak"... this is the top level of SCCA time trials

You've done a PDX. We don't have any of those scheduled this season. We'll be running Club Trials w/ Track Trials available for some of the higher preped cars.
