April is somehow devoid of SCCA events, it just worked out that way. One on March 28th and one on May 1st. Pacific appears to be up to full speed as well this month with a lot of lapping days. There are also 2 events being run by the Torque Steerers club at Packwood. I don’t know any details about what they are, but they’re called Understeer and Oversteer, so they sound fun. Happy Rotaring 

I'll try and keep up with who plans on attending what event. If it's too much of a pain in the ***, I'll stop. Regardless of if I update the Members planning on attending lists, we can use this thread to organize meeting up to go to an event etc. as well. The Tacoma Mall Krispy Kreme has worked out pretty well for Bremerton based events. Southcenter Mall would work out better for Packwood events for those going *** early. Click the location link for directions to any of the sites. For PR, click the directions link on their site (it's in Java so I can't link straight to it).

Membership Requirements:

• Alfa Events: No Membership Required
• BEAC Events: Must be a Boeing Employee
• BSCC Events: Must be a BSCC Member [$20 Membership]
• Porsche Pacific Northwest Events: Schools - Porsche Club Sponsor or Membership in one of the following clubs: PCA, Alfa, Audi, BMWCCA, BSCC, Corvette, Mini, Viper, or PDC club member
• Proformance Racing School: Must be a client for all non-school events, going to a school makes you a client, or be a member of the Alfa or Porsche clubs.
• NWR SCCA Events: Membership Required [$10 Weekend memberships available on site, full memberships available online for $45 or $60, up to 3 weekend memberships can count towards a full one]
• SCCA Oregon Region Events: Membership Required [$10 Weekend memberships available on site, full time memberships must be Dual Region]
• WWSCC - No Membership Required (I think)

Pre-registration varies from Event to Event. Pre-Registration is always cheaper, sometimes required, but not always available more than 2 weeks before the event. Always check the link for a given event.

Remember to Bring:

• Oil - During the lapping days you can burn as much as a quart! Autocross days are less, but it's still worth topping off at the beginning of the event
• Sunblock - Especially for the autocross events where you'll spend half the time working the course
• Water - No matter what the event, it's going to be hot in your helmet and car
• Helmet (If you have one that meets the requirements) - All clubs require a helmet, some will lend you one in exchange for your license, others will charge you money to rent one. Helmet Requirements (always double check the club's listing!):
  • AutoX - Snell Approved M2000 or higher
  • Lapping - Snell Approved SA2005 or higher
• Cash - At almost all Bremerton events, the local Lions Club will show up and serve cheap burgers, hot dogs and Philly Cheese Steaks but they're cash only
• Your Checkbook - All autocross events that involve timing equipment have a rule: If you car touches the timing equipment, it's a $100 fine payable on the spot. You can sometimes run and pick up money from an ATM down the street but it's easier if you have your checkbook handy.
  • Don't be intimidated by this, in reality, it's very rare. The club doesn't WANT this to happen, so they setup the course to try and prevent it from happening
• Gas
  • AutoX - 1/2 tank or more
  • AutoX Practice - Full tank
  • School - Full Tank
  • Lapping - Full Tank

I won't be able to make the pro solo, sorry

^ That's something to consider

 

 

hmm i would not be in any of the events but id go to watch and stuff! but i leave WA for good in june now because im getting out of the navy im going back to the midwest so hopefully i can make some events with you guys before i leave

 

Seems like there's a BSCC Practice day April 16th? I'll see if I can find out more...

 

member day, yep.

 

Not a lapping day though, definitely a Practice day on the schedule. I've added it along with a link to the calendar page for it. Hopefully they'll post more info on registration soon. Either way I can't go, no way my boss would let me take that day off.

 

yeah member days are usually autox practice

 

I am going to do the Prosolo event on May 1st anyone know when registration opens?

Oh yeah i wanted to post this pic i found

 

Sorry didnt mean to make the pic that big
