Okay we need to get an idea how the AutoX is going to go. I would like to have one of our AutoX Vets take the lead on this. This is meant to be a day of fun for all. While obviously safety is important & our first priority. It would be great to get everyone out on the track for some fun. Meaning those that could care less about autoX or points. Will want to get out there & have some fun. So while we want it organized well. We want the focus to be on every 914 to get on the track. I am open to you Vets expertise in how it should go. Just want to make sure there is plenty of open track time for those that aren't your typical AutoX people (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Okay so there you go. I'd like have a good 3 of you AutoX vets plan this if possible.

I am here to lend a hand. I have driven an event at the Medford track and they did things a little bit differently than most AX venues. What is the organization of the event? Are we there by ourselves or is this in conjunction with another club? Do we have timing equipment?

We will have there equipment & I believe someone there to run it (there equipment). I am sure staffing the corners/cones will be all on us. Most likely setting up the track to although I am sure he will be happy to give suggestions there. I think it is the MR2 group we are pairing up with. Drew can pipe in on the SCCA group we are piggybacking on. Thanks for replying so quick. Can't wait to see the new Suby drivetrain on the track (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) . |

Actually, when I ran that track there were no corner workers and nothing to actually set-up. It is a go-kart track and you just go out and drive it....pretty simple actually.
If we have a choice, I would like to run the outer loop in the clockwise direction. -Britain |

jamie, we decided on friday the 24th of june correct? you have the 23rd on the description.
The people that will be helping with the equipment set up and running the timing equipment will be the "Siskyou Sports Car Club". They lease the track from the "Southern Oregon Karters Club". We will not be piggybacking, it is our track alone for the day. They are just there to help set up and run their equipment. We also will be using the car clubs insurance for the day. If I recall correctly, the track rental for the day is 500 and the equipment/personnel is about 300. insurance for the one day is about 150. Post #65 current status of cost for track until update in late January. The above link is the original discussion for the date of Thursday 23rd (we rescheduled for the 24th). the numbers are still good for the one day event.

Yeah Drew your right the 24th is the AutoX. I'll go change that. I apparantly suck at multi tasking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Anyway yeah that is right. That will be nice to not have to have people out working corners. We have it for the day. If there isn't much setting up. Do you think we could run the track both the inner & outer loop? Guess ti really doesn't matter. It will be a blast either way

At last notice, no one had requested that Saturday or Sunday. The Karter or the Car club Presidents will contact me when they finalize the schedule (end of this month). At that time I had asked them to let me know if that weekend was still left open. If only to use the parking lot as a get together spot or possibly for another day of racing. But, if we decide to use it (if open) the cost will go from 500 to 1000 for the track and the insurance will go from 150 to 300. Pretty much double all pricing.

I was just inquiring if there was another club I could run with so that I can get two days of AX for the 5hr haul from Portland.

*Update -
Just received a phone call from Dick Calhoun from the Car Club. They finalized the fees and they are as follows; 1. Track Fee - $500 2. Timing Equipment, facilities and a few Personnel - $300 3. One day of insurance - $175 Dick said they will need the check one week before the event at the latest. He also mentioned that the track rules are pretty much similar to all A/X rules and that he would like to get together and go over some other other things like the parking lot rules and such. |

That is reasonable.
How many people are we talking about attending and driving the AX day? 50? 100? The entry fee should be something like $40 or so. -Britain |

The menu is as follows, but if anyone would like to change it let me know; 1. Pulled Pork sandwiches and/or grilled Chicken breast strips on a skewer. 2. Coleslaw 3. Beans 4. Garlic (french) bread The price per head is being calculated at 50 people so far. I will give the numbers when I get them. |

As far as how many people at the autoX? There will be more people watching than people driving I am sure. So far we have 25 plus cars for the weekend. I am sure there will be more. As far as fee's I am getting it all together now. Just need an idea on the food & we should have something together
