SATurday November 17th Autocross

Harry Grove Stadium, Frederick, MD is the location of the 2012 Season Finale CDC autocross on SATURDAY November 17th. We will also have a Test and Tune SUNDAY November 18th.

Registration and tech inspection will be at 8:00 and will promptly close at 8:45 to try to accommodate the full field, while still giving 6 runs. You must be DONE by 8:45. So if you arrive at 8:00 you won't have a problem. Don't arrive at the last minute.

The event fee for the Saturday autocross is now $30 for members and $40 for non-members at this event.

SUNday November 18th Test and Tune Day

These Sunday Test and Tune Events will be held the day after the Saturday Harry Grove Stadium Autocrosses in Frederick , MD. The Test and Tune event will be an informal autocross using the same/similar course as the day before. The differences are the following:

• Field is limited to 40 participants with about 5 organizers (for a total of 45 vehicles).
• Times will be announced and recorded on the timesheet, but no results, no points, and no indexes will be posted –This is only for fun
• No extra runs if we miss a time – This is only for fun
• The format will be 2 heats with 5 morning and afternoon runs (number of runs in the afternoon will depend on time and weather conditions. We hope to give 9 to 11 runs).
• No food or drinks will be provided – We need to keep the amount of equipment to a minimum. So plan on either bringing drinks and food or going out to lunch.
• Event is open to members and their guests only, since the event is so limited in size.
• The entry fee is $35 per member, $45 for non-members.

All 40 slots will be given on a first come, first serve basis.

A Lot of FR-S/BRZ's are signed up. See you there

So much fun was sideways the whole time

Four frs' and a brz came out today!

It was an awesome day and it was awesome to see so many of the twins out having fun

Hell yeah! This was a blast.. I learned a ton about the car today and met a bunch of great folks like you :) I think I improved on each run (except for the one that I accidentally left the electronic nannies turned on)

Thanks Ed, you and the CDC put on a great show. The whole process ran like clockwork.

Might be time for some stickier tires than the crappy Bridgestone all-seasons, come next year.

It's too bad the season's over. It looks like you guys had fun; I just cannot run at that small of a lot.

Why not? This was my first event ever and I had no problems at all. I'd imagine a smaller track would benefit in learning handling and braking over speed. I enjoyed the hell out of it and improved 10 seconds over my first run.
