Race in June! (2010, Seattle Area)
Oh man, epic late this month… my bad.
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:
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:

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
- Porsche Club Oregon Region: Unknown, see http://www.oregonpca.org/
- 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
June 3rd:

You don't actually need a sponsor 
If they bug you, let me know and I'll email Robert (we work at the same company).
Found a cool link today: http://www.pnwhpde.com/schedule.htm

"Club or sponsor name:
Enter the club you belong to (e.g. PCA) or, if you are a guest, the name of the member sponsoring you."
a required field in the registration form... hmmm

Mr. Örange
Also on a normal AutoX with either the SCCA or the BSCC your husband can be your co-driver if you want/ if you'll let him drive your car. 
This doesn't take away any driving time from you or your co-driver. You both get just as many runs, you just drive the same car during the same heat.
Edit: as novices you won't be able to ride as passengers with each other.

Hm, Robert is on vacation and won't be checking his work email for a few weeks. Just put in Robert Durff for sponsorship so it will let you by. I'm going to send them an email to the skills day email account and I doubt he'll have a problem doing this for us. We have a good relationship with them because almost any time one of us goes, several of us come out and volunteer as well.
Also, I can't volunteer this weekend, so someone else should

Mr. Örange
Well, today I was on the south end and stopped by PR to see if anything was going on, and what did I see? Brad ripping it up at the PGP track! I was watching from ontop of the hill, and from what it looked like he was in the fast group.
Brad: I only saw the first session, how was the track on the second session, it looked like there were some real tricky tight turns on the back far corner of the course. How much did that cost, how many runs did you get, when is the next event, and how often is that event held?
