The May 20th autocross in Sanford, The Third Annual "Never Give Up" Autocross -- Slalomania III, will continue the tradition set at past year's successful events.
I'm extremely happy to report that THSCC will make zero dollars from this event. All proceeds from this event will go to the V Foundation (www.jimmyv.org) to help fight cancer.
Everyone in attendance will get their four runs in as usual for season points and event trophies will be awarded before the Main Event. Afterwards, we will be repeating the bracket race, limited to 32 entries.
The cost of entry into this bracket race is a minimum $25 donation to the V Foundation; we would appreciate that checks be made out to the V Foundation.
Competitors will be allowed one run to help dial their car in (in addition to the previous runs driven earlier). After this, competitors will put their dial-in on their car. 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 all have the chance to start the smack-talk early on. If you have a preferred pairing, let that be known either on the THSCC Forums (for THSCC members only) or when you pay. If you attended the Evolution School, here's a chance to back up your smack.
The rules are simple: Break out and go home. DNF means a breakout. The closest driver to his/her 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.)
It's 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 extra runs for a measley $25!
We also have some surprises in store. In addition to the 50/50 raffle to benefit the V Foundation (tickets will be $5 each, maximum 5 tickets per person), we are proud to announce that Discount Tire has donated 2 hefty gift certificates. One will be for a set of wheels (up to $500 retail value) and another for a free set of tires (also up to $500 retail value). There are other gift certificates that have been graciously donated by the Carolina Ale House and Auto Pro-To-Go. These tickets will be sold during registration; see Wes Eargle in front of the bus. In fairness to everyone, the winner of the raffles will be announced just before the bracket race if you're not participating in that and want to head on home; but you have to be present to win.
Also, the world renowned master gourmet chef, Bowie Gray, will be in attendance cooking up his fantastic dead birds.
Finally, David Spratte has donated his time and talent to put together a really nice looking event t-shirt that will be sold at the registration table. Long sleeve tees will be available as well.
There will be a hard cap of 130 drivers allowed to participate in the event.
Hope to see you all there!
