Ok guys, here are the details on the 2011 WCR Autocross at the Jackson County Sports Park in Medford, OR.

Here is a great link to find more details on the venue and the event: 914world 2011 West Coast Ramble on Where2Race

Morning Autocross:
The Autocross will begin bright and early Friday morning. Drivers meeting at 7:45 and first car on track at 8:00am. We will divide up into two groups with the half of the group running their cars and the other half working as course workers. Depending on the number of cars/drivers, expect to get between 5-8 runs as with this course layout we will be able to have multiple cars on the track at once.

Here is the course layout for the Morning Autocross:

Afternoon Sprint Races:
Following the morning autocross and a lunch break, we will continue in the afternoon with Sprint Races. These will consist of multiple laps, expect 2-3 laps, depending on the number of cars/drivers. You will launch the car and the first time thru the Start/Finish lights you time will start. You will proceed around the track for the prescribed 2 or 3 laps and after finishing thru the start/finish lights you will get a 3/4 lap cool-down and exit into the pit area. For this portion of the event, there will be only one car on the track at a time.

Here is the course layout for the Sprint Races:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-364-1307140172.2.jpg)

We need to get a headcount of those who plan on participating in either the Morning Autocross and/or the Sprint Races. We will also determine a classing structure and be able to award winners of each class.

If you want to see some video's of a 914 running this course, I have a few from the Enduro event last season:

Remember, Autocross experience is not required or needed to have fun out on this track. Everyone is encouraged to participate as it is included in your WCR registration.

Looks like more fun that a barrel of fish.....ducks?

It would be good to know how many folks are gonna run both events....the AX & the sprint thingy. It makes planning easier.

I'm in for both if Randal brings enuff gas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Damn, That looks like fun. Got a grid that details measurements or say a course measurement? I'd love to build this track for Live for Speed and test it out myself to see what im missing.

How wide is the track (for those who have been on it)? Thats the best way for me to deterimine (unless google earth can tell me).. I dont actually enter in any numbers when I build the track, I just do an areal view and lay the cones in relation to a car length that I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Typically takes me ~ 4 hours to get right... Havent built a track since I was activly autoxing the A4, or about 3 years ago.

I wont have time to get to it till mid month, but if any of you have Live For Speed 2 for the PC then i'll share the track so you can practice the course (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That track is a lot of fun! Raced it two different years, um, both times in various Fiats. It's a narrow track, especially in the back parts. I've heard it referred to as a go-kart track, but it's certainly wider than that (by a car's width or so).

Have fun! Wish I could make it.

This may have already been said, but the pavement is fairly new. The kart club has had the repaving done over the last few years. The old pavement was getting pretty bad.

I'm in for both the morning & afternoon. Assuming I have a car working I have no problem having a co driver. So if you are coming & don't have your 914. Let me know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My teener is many months away from completion, so my family is driving our 1988 Chevy G20 Conversion Van up to WCR2011. Any chance I could run the track using the van? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

By the way, I had to buy a Snell SA2005 helmet for 24 Hours of Lemons racing, so I'll bring a spare full-face medium Snell M2005 helmet that I ran two SCCA autocross events with. I'll sell it for $20 to anyone who needs it. Any interest?

Hopefully, I can grab an open seat for a few ride-alongs...

I think there will be a few helmets available to borrow. They have to be snell 2000 or newer. Just a motorcycle helmet doesn not cut it. One of the AutoX guys give the specs please. Most of the autoX guys are required 2005 or newer rating. We got lucky down there as they still accept the 200 this year.
