Next Autox ($10 discount for 2nd slot) SUNday 6/16/13

Post by echan »

SUNday June 16th Autocross (Father's Day)

James Woods HS in Winchester, VA is the location of the next Capital Driving Club autocross on SUNday June 16th (Father's Day).

Registration and tech inspection will be at 8:15 (giving you 15 extra minutes) and will promptly close at 8:45 to try to accommodate the full field, while still giving 6 runs. You must be DONE by 8:45. So if you arrive at 8:15 you won't have a problem. Don't arrive at the last minute.
The event fee for the Saturday autocross is $30 for members and $40 for non-members.

BBQ

We tentative plan to have one of the organizers neighbors with his commercial smoker to make smoked chicken, ribs, and pork. I love BBQ and this is THE BEST I've ever had! We will price the food based on the cost (we're not out to gouge anyone). We will also have the regular hot dogs and sausages.

On-line Reservation System

Member reservations (or participants that will join the club upon showing up) for any events can be made at any time. Open reservations for non-members for this event begin Friday June 7th.

New Members

We will be accepting new members at this event. If you plan to join the club at this event, you may make a reservation at this time by doing the following:
1. Use "0" as the member number (a permanent number will be assigned to you after you join and you will get a temporary number for this event)
2. TYPE "I will be joining the club at this event" in the NOTES section when making you reservation.

$10 Discount on Second Slot

To help increase interested in this event at James Wood HS in Winchester, VA, we are offering the following special.

For anyone paying for a second slot, the second slot will be $10 off. So if you are a member the second slot for a member will only be $20. If the second slot is for a non-member the cost will be $30 (rather than $40).

The second slot can also be used the same driver (e.g. they would drive in two heats) or for a guest.

If you sign up for a second slot, just type "Second Slot" in the Notes Section. Otherwise, we may think you mistakenly submitted duplicate reservations.

Remember, to make a second slot, MAKE A SECOND RESERVATION (if the second slot is for a different person, type "Second slot for (type the name of the first slot person)".

-Several people used the second slot for a guest (some that never autocrossed with CDC) -Many participants used the second slot to get 12 runs -Some used the second slot to be a point autocross in the 6 morning runs (since only the first 6 counted for points) then treated the afternoon as a TNT by trading cars with other two slot participants

This offer is only extended for this event at James Wood HS on SUNday June 16th, 2013 and will only be offered at James Wood HS.

If you have any questions, let me know at capitaldriving@yahoo.com.

Those laws only apply if they're getting paid.

Sorry but the guy doing the BBQ is sick and won't be to smoke food for us. He said that he'll try to make it up to us at another Winchester event.

So yeah. Today was my first CDC autocross. It defiantly has a different set up than NASA but I like it. I wish to run more in the future, and I also wish CDC ran more Sundays than Saturdays. Working in a dealership has its perks! But with perks you lose 95% of all Saturdays. Hope to run into some of you on the road, and also hope to run again with CDC in the near future!

We pretty much are a Saturday event club with only a few exceptions. We ran this Sunday because the school had a charity event on Saturday. We also ran a Sunday autox at Frederick. as well as many Sunday TNT autocrosses in Frederick.

Hope to see you there more often.

I hope you got extra oil for your drive back home. I assume everything was ok if you stopped a couple times to check/fill oil on the way back.
