Mazda Sports Car Club of North Carolina Autocross School, February 24th, 2007

Autocross @ Laurinburg Airport, February 24th, 2007

Event Info
Come and join us at the Laurinburg Airport in February for our first event of 2007 - the MSCCNC autocross school/test-n-tune.

The cost for each driver is $50 through February 9th and we are hoping to get in about 12 runs per driver. Cost increases $5 each week until the event.

Additional info is posted on this thread on our forum. http://msccnc.org/forum

Is located here: http://www.msccnc.org/signup/

Directions:
US-1 South...take US 15-501 (left) south of Aberdeen. After entering Scotland County, turn left onto SR 1400 (Hill Creek Rd.) - about 9.5 miles from US-1/15-501 split. Look for "Pine Lake RV Resort & Campground" sign. Follow this road to Wagram. In Wagram, turn left onto McKay St. to the intersection with US 401. Cross 401 onto SR 1403 (Riverton Rd.) and follow it until the stop sign at Airban Rd. Turn left onto Airban Rd. until the tee with Airbase Rd. and turn left on Airbase Rd. We will mark off which entrance we are using as the course hasn't been designed yet (there are multiple entrances).

Schedule:
Tech and Registration open at 7:30 a.m.
Course open for walking: 7:30 a.m.
Driver's meeting: 8:30 a.m.
Instructor-Led course walk: 9:00 a.m.
First car off: 9:30 a.m.
Lunch: around noon
End: before 5 p.m.


Registration information:
Registration is being limited to the first 40 entries. We may accomodate additional entries after that on an individual basis (at our discretion) and will make an announcement if we deem it feasible to re-open registration.

Registration fees are as follows: $50 through February 9th, $55 through February 16th, $60 through February 23rd - this is to encourage participants to register early so that we are able to plan adequately and make the event a success.

Any questions, PM me, or visit our forum. Thanks!

Come on RX-8 drivers. Lets see what why these cars are drivers cars. We are letting some non-Mazda vehicles enter. This is a great chance to get your feet wet if you've never autocrossed or tracked your car. Intermediates are signing up for the amount of runs that we'll get and experienced drivers will be testing and tuning.

The instructors will coach you. Don't worry about making mistakes. I'll be making them. Instructors will be making them...though at much faster speeds. NOBODY will escape without killing some cones. Its all fun. This not like some sort of driving test, just a good safe time.

I'm rounding up some folks... What other makes are you letting in? I'm only recruiting 8's, but curious what else will be there.

There are 10 slots left! IIRC, we have a few non-Mazdas: Lotus Elises, BMW M3 & 328, Integra...to name a few.

Hey, to anyone who has done this event before... I'm a newbie with the track event stuff, and was curious what the overall cost was (I guess mostly gas and other regular expenses) when its all said and done???

Details/specifics would be preferred but any information would be great here (trying to see if this will fit into my monthly budget ).

It's kinda hard to put a total cost on it. Of course gas will probably be the biggest part. I figure since we will be there for a full day maybe a tank or so in gas just there alone plus whatever it takes to drive there. Also, cost for drinks and snacks. This will be my first time doing an AutoX but I have made many trips to the track and a typical weekend at the track would cost me anywhere from $75-$300 for food, gas, registration fees and little things like that.

Still a handful of slots left. Fees will not increase for late registration as originally planned.

We will have some water and/or Gatorade available.
