| Welcome to the Fall "Double Trouble" Autocross School.
The school is designed for Novice
and Intermediate students with less than two years or less
than 16 events of autocross experience. (If we do not
fill up the school, we will relax that criteria one to two
weeks prior to the event). You do not have to be a club member
to participate in this school. Please
pay via PayPal for the school ahead of time as this will greatly
help us with registration.
IMPORTANT: For the School
only (not the event on Sunday), students with less than 8
events should register in NOV class on the reg form. Students
with 8 events or more should register as PRO. This is just
to help us keep track of rough experience levels of our students.
Lunch will be provided with your event fee, but bring plenty
of water!
This school is being designed with a relaxed format. We will
focus on quality instruction rather than quantity of seat
time. Expect to get at least 5 to 6 runs on a full course
with an instructor, and 3-4 runs riding in an instructor's
car. We will also have a detailed course walk and analysis
in the afternoon. For those of you who have done THSCC track
schools, this format may remind you of those, with Novice,
Intermediate, and Instructor Groups. We will have a speaker
during lunch.
When you preregister, please provide a VALID email
address and PHONE NUMBER on the prereg form. Our
plan is to provide each student with a dedicated instructor
for each run session. This will provide an environment where
you can learn a great deal from your instructor! After you
have preregistered, if your plans change and you cannot
come, PLEASE UNPREREGISTER
yourself from this event as soon as you find out.
We realize this event is starting early, but PLEASE be on
time so that we can start runs on time!
We will be using the old Burch Industries entrance - see directions info below. Look for 1 or more orange cones marking the site entrance.
Notes For First Time Novices: If you've
never done this before, do some reading before you come. You
can start by clicking on this link and reading the Novice
Handbook and other info found on our Novice
Tips page. You should also know that
this event site is not very near anything at all! Be sure
to get gas, air, snacks, etc. before you get close to the
airport! Come in the morning and don't expect to leave the
site until after the school is over.
