Brian, it's possible everyone else had the same impression as I did when they looked at your link. As in... What are all these acronyms/abbreviations and what the heck are they talking about?

-------------------------------------------------------

NCT 5 and VCMC Series 3; Novices, Here's Your Chance to Beat the President!

VCMC in partnership with our sponsors is proud to present the last event of the 2010 NCT and VCMC Series!

Wrapping up the NCT and VCMC series, It's time for the Novices to lay it all out, and see if they have what it takes to beat the President! Coming off a class-win at the NWAA Smackdown, the Prez is getting a little big for his britches! Let's see if any of the Novices can humble our fearless leader, and beat him on PAX. The top five Novices to beat the President will receive trophies from our great partner Blitzgear, to be awarded at the year-end banquet!

Without further ado, on to the regs:

1. The Series will run under CACC groupings.

Groups for the series will be as follows:
Open PAX = This is the Topgun class, if you think you are fast, this is where you should be.
Stock = AS, BS, CS, DS, ES, FS, GS, HS, SS.
Non Stock 1 = All Street Prepared.
Non Stock 2 = All SM, Prepared, Mod.
Non Stock 3 = All Street Touring Classes.
Ladies
T Class = Open Class (except Street Touring Classes), anyone without R-compound tires can join (See SCCA tire exclusion list).

And of course our existing Novice Class will be running and accumulating points as well.

2. Maximum of 2 drivers per car per heat.

3. Only the first three runs will count for Open PAX competitors.

* NEW FOR 2010 *

4. Note that Open PAX competitors shall not conduct/participate in ride-alongs until they have completed their first three runs (the ones that count for points).

-------------------------------------------------------

Besides, I'm not satisfied to just be watching anymore, I want to be driving!

What about the membership fee?

--------------------------------------------

Membership is required for this event (and includes CACC membership). Don't forget that signing up now gives you next year's membership as well!

$50 for new members (free event included!)
$50 for current members and renewals

--------------------------------------------

Brian, what does it mean for new members... "free event included" 

 

Just above on that page is:

Registration is available the morning of the event, but we encourage pre-registration on Karelo to minimize delays, and save you money!
Entry fee
Karelo - $30
On-site - $40

Since they are offering online registration with the above on-site $40, then you can consider if you want to become a member where when you first join, you get the first event included...

Luke, meet for breaky at MacD's?...I'll be there at 7am, and onsite by 7:45am.  The tech is much more serious, they check the battery, bearings, fluid, etc...

Allan, just to make this clear for myself and others... If any of us paid to become a member, say tomorrow, would that mean that Sunday's event would qualify as the "next" autocross and therefore would be "free"?

 

Actually I bought both my memberships (renewed) with VCMC & UBC in the last month and they are good until Sept 2011 apparently...I want a card with an expire date

Pat...pay the day rate and experience VCMC first hand then choose, save the money

Brian, are you sure you can do that? Their forum thread says:

Membership is required for this event (and includes CACC membership). Don't forget that signing up now gives you next year's membership as well!

On the UBCSCC site, they say this about novices (here):

A "Novice Driver" is defined as a person who has competed in three or fewer scored AutoSlalom events before January 1st of the current calendar year. Novice drivers are not allowed to take passengers, except in the case of a senior driver for instructional purposes.

Although I don't know if the PCA/BCCC autoxes are considered "scored AutoSlalom events".

Also, the CACC membership confuses me. I can't tell if it's required or not.

Sorry all...your right, UBC had a day membership fee of $5, need some sleep and off the meds:)...lol
