Colby, who is this "they" you are referring to?

I would think that our $10 and personal information would be sent to CCAC from VCMC (who simply gathered/collected the fee/info) and it would be CCAC (not VCMC) who would be doing the actual processing.

CACC has no reason not to process our licenses promptly, because obviously, there are other autocross events scheduled for the remainder of the year.

"They" is VCMC, and by process I mean fill out the form and send it in for us (or however they handle it).

Have a look at this thread from the UBC Sports Car Club forum. CACC license requirements Okay, I've got to ask now (after having read that thread)... Has anyone had their CACC license mailed to them after registering and participating in the VCMC autocross a couple weekends ago? It probably takes several weeks (I believe I saw reference to three weeks somewhere) to be processed (in which case we can review this situation in a couple more weeks), but I certainly haven't received anything up to this point.

I after all these years do not have one paper licence, especially a CACC one...would not worry, you have your scan tag which is your main number now for all events.

Brian, what exactly does that scan tag represent? Is it a VCMC issue (since for me, that's who I got it from) or is it CCAC to be used at all autocross events, no matter which particular club puts on the event?

I know that the same barcode can be used by both clubs, but I don't know if there's anything more to it than that or if it's just for convenience. It does have the CACC logo so it could be that there's more to it than that.

I only got to take a couple pictures but you can get an idea of the weather...






and a video! should be up shortly

From FB:

Ken Au-Yeung Brian, you missed the Fiero that showed up!

Represented:)...well done bud

Ummm.... what VCMC membership card might you be referring to? Is this something else we haven't received in the mail yet?

Way to go Allan, you've now opened up another can of worms.

 

So, pardon my confusion, but then for us new registers, we pay $55 for the lisence every year, as well as $50 per autocross?

Funny....I thought vcmc loved handing out their membership cards.

General terminology for folks:

autocross (aka autox) is also known as solo 2 (aka solosport).

solo 1 (aka solosprint) is what I call "autox on steroids".

autox is usually held on a parking lot, runway, or other flat chunk of pavement and typically has a max speed of 60mph (100 km/h).

solosprint (aka solo 1) is held at larger chunks of pavement or usually at a real race track like Mission.  solosprints have been held at Pitt Meadows in the past when they also book the adjoining runway and have longer, faster autox-type events.  I've been well over 140km/h there.  Hence, autox on steroids. 

Solosprint at Mission raceway is a different animal.  It's run on the CACC race weekends and because of that, requires almost race-level of prep to your car and the driver.

4-point roll bar minimum and it must adhere to their design rules.  My bolt-in 4-point bar doesn't meet their specs so I can't run.

Full nomex driving suit, including gloves, socks, balaclava and shoes.  SA helmet required (no M).

Not sure what else they need.

It gets expensive to run at Mission.  Considering the increased fees coming next year and transponder rental, it'll start getting close to $180 per event unless they change the format.  Hence my thinking an option is to run more solosprints at PM.  Just a WAG though.
