| Special Note: For this event, run groups will run in reverse of the usual THSCC order (i.e. Stock classes will run 2nd and 4th heats instead of 1st and 3rd heats, etc.)
Event Chairs Wes Eargle and Stephen Westerfield have a little something different planned this for event. We're going to (hopefully) start an annual tradition by having a portion of every entry fee from this autocross donated to the Jimmy V. Foundation to help fight cancer.
The format will also be different from ones in the past. Everyone in attendance will get their four runs in as usual for season points and event trophies. Afterwards, the real fun begins! We're going to have a bracket race, limited to 32 entries. The cost of entry into this bracket race is a minimum $20 donation to the V Foundation. This is payable either at the May 11th club meeting or at the event. Unfortunately, please don't pay via Paypal because they deduct a fee for this that would adversely affect our donation and would complicate things.
Bracket racing is all about consistency, so anyone can win. And the winner gets both a fancy trophy and the right to talk smack for the next year, not to mention seven runs. The rules are simple: Break out and go home. DNF means a breakout. The closest driver to their dial-in stays and moves up the ladder. We're also not allowing "cheating" by setting a two minute dial-in and letting you park the car on course with stopwatch in hand either. (If both drivers in the pair break out, the closest to their dial-in advances.)
Competitors will be allowed one run to help dial their cars in (in addition to the previous runs driven earlier). After this, competitors will put their dial-ins on their cars. The dial-in is *real* time, not PAX time by the way. Drivers will be paired up at check-in in the morning, so you'll have the chance to start the smacktalk early on. If you have a preferred pairing, let that be known either via the THSCC Forums if you are a club member or when you pay.
Afterwards, time permitting, fun runs will proceed as usual.
There will also be a 50/50 raffle to benefit the V Foundation. Tickets will be $5 each with a maximum five tickets per person.
If you have questions about this event, please contact the THSCC Autocross VPs.
See you there!
