Rockford, IL September 9th, 2007 – Sports Car Club of Rockford – Low
Speed Autocross Event – The Sports Car Club of Rockford (SCCR) will
be hosting a Low Speed Autocross in the northeast corner of
Cherryvale Mall parking lot on Sunday, September 9th from 9:00 a.m.
to 3:00 p.m.

An Autocross is a timed competition, where drivers navigate through a
temporary course marked by traffic cones. The course is a series of
sharp corners and chicanes that stress driver skill instead of
horsepower.

The day will be divided into two sessions. There will be a driver's
meeting before each session. There will be experienced Autocrossers
to offer help and driving support to those not familiar with
performance driving.

All drivers must have a valid drivers license. Minors (16 and 17
year olds) may participate with parental supervision. All cars are
required to pass a brief safety inspection. All participants must
wear a minimum of a DOT approved helmet.

SCCR is a member of the Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs. It
is comprised of amateur racers that bring countless years of
experience to motor racing.

This will be a fun day to see drivers take their cars into a
controlled competitive environment. Spectators are free, and are
encouraged to stop by to enjoy the fun!

Location: Cherryvale Mall Northeast parking lot
Time: Cars on track 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with driver registration
beginning at 9:00 a.m.
Cost: $30 per driver. Guests and Spectators are free!

 

BTW I will be representing the 8's, anyone else want to join me? Its only $30 to enter, should be a blast.

 

So, anyone else planning to attend. I know of quite a few Subaru and Evo guys planning to attend. They are coming into our turf for a change and this would be a great opportunity to finally beat up on em.

 

What time are you going? I might swing by to check it out (spectator only tho).

 

Ill be there from 9-3, probably hanging out with the Subaru guys.

 

Damn, I am in the process of moving from Dekalb to Rockford so I won't make this one. How can I find about other SCCR events? The web site still has the 2006 event calander.

 

Stopped by for a bit got to meet Reedy and another TI Gray 8 owner (can't remember your name) - good set up there. Quite the variety of cars...

 

Here is a video of one of my runs. Not my fastest, but I think you will like it.

Nice!!

So how can one find out about future events?

 

I believe there is another one up in Madison WI at the end of this month. Do a google search for midwest council. They are made up of all the local clubs.

 

The Madison Sports Car Club puts on an autocross series. Next one is 9/30 at Columbus 151 Speedway which is just north of Madison. www.madisonautocross.com
