Amgfest Auto X Info For 8/27
Registration will open up around 8:00. Get in line, know your Class (see elsewhere on this web site, or we will help you at registration) and have your money ready. Remember, for most event registration is limited to 120 applicants (for events at PNC Arts Center, it is limited to 80).
$35* - All PCA Members (Please have your Membership Card)
$40* - All Non-Members
*Exact change is always appreciated
You will fill out the registration form and you will receive your car number for the day as well as a red ribbon. Place the ribbon under your windshield wiper and write your car number on both sides of your car, as large as practical. The ribbon tells the tech inspectors that you are, indeed, registered. They will look to make sure your car has been properly emptied, your helmet meets requirements and there are no obvious fluid leaks. Please help them by opening your hood and trunk. You do not have to be present for tech. If your ribbon is gone and you now have a piece of blue tape on your driver's side headlight, you have passed tech. If it gets close to run time and you still have the red ribbon, there was probably a problem that needs your attention.
You will also receive your flagging assignment at registration. It could be a morning assignment, afternoon or both. Flagging is very important and involves reporting cones that have been hit in the vicinity of your station, replacing cones and stopping the action if an unsafe condition presents itself.
Immediately after registration, and before registration if you arrive early enough, you should (you MUST) walk the course. You cannot walk the course too many times. No matter how well you think you know it, it will look different through the windshield at 45 mph. Walk with other people and discuss the "line". There will be a special walk-through for novices conducted by an expert, probably around 9:30. Listen for the announcement.
Finally there will be a driver's meeting around 9:45. We will discuss safety and the conduct of the program. We will announce whether odd or even numbered cars will be running first. The non-running car drivers will be flagging, if they have a morning assignment. Cars that are running will be asked to slowly bring their cars to their pre-numbered position in the staging area.
Ready? Good luck!
To recap: Registration opens 8:00 am
Walk The Course
Novice Walk-Through approx. 9:30 am
Driver's Meeting approx. 9:45 am
First Car Off approx. 10:00 am
End Of Day Trophies approx. 4:00 pm
From the Porsche club forum, I have no idea when people are meeting up, look at the directions thread to find out how to get to the meadowlands if you're coming.
