| Salt
Creek Sports Car Club (SCSCC)
presents a medium-speed
Autocross. Two cars will be run, spaced at intervals, on a closed course
marked by pylons (and concrete barriers). Cars will be timed
electronically to 1/1000th of a second. Lake Geneva is a banked, short
track oval "bisected" by its abandoned drag strip. Generally, we
run on half of the oval, dive down onto the interior access roads (drag
strip) for some slaloms and offsets, then finish up on the banking. Plan
on using 3rd gear on the banking, yet understand the consequences of
getting loose – this track rightfully intimidates with concrete barriers
throughout, and unforgiving light standards within. Novice drivers are
still welcome, but may find an instructor to ride along with you - if so
requested. Time and attendance permitting, we may even have a few
"fun-runs" at the end of the day. |

how much is your head worth?
- No refunds after tech
inspection. Late entries may not be allowed to make up missed timed
runs.
