Registration is open for our June Divisional at Retama Park! June 18-19, 2011...

https://axwaresystems.com/axorm/calendar_main.php?viewevent=1265

Event info (schedule, etc) is all listed on the AXWare site...

One special thing to note: There is *NO* on-site camping allowed, even if you have an RV/motorhome. I tried multiple ways and multiple times to get them to allow this for those traveling in from out of town, but it just isn't happening.

Hey, I registered for the Div on Axware but it's showing me as not an SCCA member, I'm assuming I shouldn't worry about this?  And I took the whole week off so I should be available for help Friday, I should be able to run registration as usual.

Are you sure that your membership is current?  I know it sounds stupid, but sometimes I forget when mine expires (sometime in July for me, I think)...

Well, in looking at your SOWDIV membership record...you do not have an SCCA member number entered.
You can set it in your User Profile by clicking to on the SCCA Membership item on the right.  Enter the appropriate data and it will update all 'SCCA' clubs you are participating with...

Currently though...you are NOT a member.

I just wanted to mention that parking lot for this event will be cleaned the week of event. We have a street sweeper scheduled to spend a few hours to remove loose gravel and dust. Lot was quite dirty at our event this past weekend so you should see a huge improvement in conditions for the divisional.

Things are really starting to come together for this event... Now all we need is *YOU* to sign up and participate!

Please pre-purchase your T-shirts at this link below... We will need to get shirts ordered by June 2, so only a couple of short days available to order!!

http://msreg.us/AlamoDivisionalApparel

Keep in mind that this event is not going to be run like a 'normal' SASCA event.  Pre-registration is critical.  You won't be able to come up and pay on Saturday morning and expect to participate in an SCCA Divisional style event.

You may be asking yourself -- why is this going to cost me $75? (Or $90, if you are not a current SCCA member)...

1) A welcome dinner is provided for Friday evening when you register for the event and get your car tech inspected.
2) You are getting two separate AutoCross events in one weekend (each day will be a different course!)
3) You will be competing with the best of the best from all over our "Southwest Division" (Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, etc).
4) Saturday night banquet dinner is covered, along with a couple kegs of beer.
5) Trophies handed out in each respective class, based on number of entries in each class

As you can see, there's a lot more to this than just a normal event.


For those that have never been to a larger SCCA event, some things are a little bit different -- the event itself starts up much earlier in the morning than our local events (this is why we cannot take walk-up registrations on Saturday morning, and we *strongly* encourage you to come out Friday evening to get your car tech inspected in advance).  In the case of a Divisional, the first car should be out on course around 9am on Saturday, and around 8am on Sunday.  Each car is assigned a specific parking space in grid and cars run in numerical order.  If you are a single driver in a car, your number needs to be less than 100.  For a second driver, their car number will be the same as the first driver, but with a 1 added to the front of the number (i.e. first driver might be car #89, while second driver would then be #189).  After you are done with your competition runs, you need to leave your car in your grid parking space (in "impound") until the preliminary results are published and all competitors are in agreement with the results.  This is also the opportunity for competitors to look over each others' vehicles for class legality.

Even if you don't think you will do well at the event, these events are a lot of fun -- besides, who doesn't enjoy spending a whole weekend talking cars, trash talking and bench racing, and just socializing with a big group of folks that enjoy the sport as much as you do.

We will need a handful of volunteers to help set up the practice course and/or work the practice course on Friday afternoon from 12-4pm.  If you have some time and wouldn't mind working for an hour or two during that timeframe, please let me know.  We will allow practice course workers to take a set of practice runs in exchange for their efforts.

We will be setting up the practice course around 10am...  Saturday's course will be set up at 4pm, once the practice course closes.

Also -- is anybody willing/able to volunteer an economical (non-competing) vehicle for the weekend to use as sweep car?

Wish I could be there with you guys for all the fun.  Too bad I'm stuck out here in Los Angeles.  The Divisional should be big time competition to see how you stack up against the best.

Sign up!  It'll be fun.
