Bugzy,

your signature citing the 2007 event on Aug 11th may cause some confusion, as to the 2008 event occurring on Aug 10th.

just my $0.02

I want to send out a personal invite to anyone that has thought about trying out autocross to join me at:

http://www.sdr-scca.com/solo2/schedu...-2008-8-10.pdf

Since this event is held at the SAME location (different parking lot), it will be extremely convenient!!!

Anyone can enter a championship event and the cost is:

$25 race fee + $15 temporary SCCA membership + $25 SDR Race Card (good for all of 2008)

I will be racing my C55 as usual and since I'm in SK1 class (F Stock + street tires), I'll be in run group 1 which starts at 9am. Each racer has a total of 3 timed runs. Let me know if you have any other questions!

One more thing... Spectating is FREE!!! All you need to do is sign the waiver at the entrance and get a wrist band to enter. So, even if you aren't planning on racing, you can get close and walk around the pit area. Just don't run over people stuff. I can't tell you how many times my spare tire and other stuff have been run over by cars driving around.

Just show up. Only the practice events require early signup because they usually sell out first day. The championship events are always available on the day of the event. However, if it is your first time, it is best to arrive before 8am so that you can get your registration done, car teched, and walk the course a few times.
