You have to go to scca.com and login to the site (right hand side of main page near top).

From there, click 'Event Registration' and the DC Pro will show up.

Update: They've hit 225 registered now Jay. Still register and be one of the first on the waitlist. Last year everyone on the waitlist got in.

Edit - Here's a link to the Pro Solo reg form. print it off, fill out and fax into the number at the bottom. Try to get on the waitlist asap! http://www.scca.com/documents/Solo_F...-entryform.pdf

Posted live at 1:01 am this morning but it was broken until about 9:30 am because they forgot to put in the event fee.

They had a lot of people waiting online at 1 this morning trying to register and I am sure they had a full fax machine when they came in this morning since online registration worked so well last night

Jay,

One thing that should be mentioned, don't be alarmed if March & April go by and you're still on the waitlist. Typically, late May/early June is when spots really start to free up! I also imagine that you're near the top of the waitlist.

Looking forward to DC!

Hey guys, just wanted to post some video from the tour so those that didn't go can see what the course was like (And so you can make fun of us 350z drivers )

This is my last run on Sunday. I had hit the same slalom cone on my first 2 runs, so I backed off through the slalom. Would have been good enough for 4th but I ended up hitting a different cone

Note: if you are offended by foul language or a grown man whining, please do not watch.

Any criticism is welcomed!

JR

Thanks for the video. Those were the lines I was using on course - you did much better on the turn around than I did on ALL three of my Sunday runs though. I kept going in too hot, and on my third run it caused the front end to wash out and push me about 15 ft wide on my exit.

LOL @ 'grown man whining'

Here's a link to the FINAL results in pdf format for the event: http://www.scca.com/documents/result...20Results1.pdf

Once Ruth posts the PAX results, I'll get them up here as well.

Correct. They were the '07 & '08 models with the updated VQ35HR engine. They sounded awesome at full song!

don't bother

PAX is completely useless when you have variety of changing conditions through out the event

I faxed in my entry this morning and got a call this afternoon that I was in, so there are apparently spots opening up.

As opposed to when you have consistent conditions, then they are of incredible use and value, right, Team?
