There will be plenty of ice-cold water for you during the event. Snacks/soda/adult beverages will be available for you to enjoy after the event - aka BEER :30. As always, we will have instructors to hop in to help you out, and helmets to borrow if you are in need of one. Our goal is to be safe and HAVE FUN!
The charity for the event is Robbie’s Hope Foundation. Robbie’s Hope is on a mission to cut teen suicide rates in half by 2028 by focusing on one simple thing—talking about it. Destigmatizing conversations around anxiety and depression, making it normal to talk about what’s bugging us, letting teens know they’re not alone, and most importantly—that it’s ok to not be ok. By donating any amount to Robbie’s Hope, your money will go toward funding the tools and resources they need to empower the next generation to end this staggering epidemic. Your contribution will help Robbie’s Hope further their cause as they inspire more young people to have HOPE (Hold on Pain Ends.) Please make a donation when you register. 😎

Autocross Season Scoring and Rules
- Your scored points for an event are calculated by giving the driver with fastest time for a class 1000 points. Each successive driver in the same class gets a percentage of 1000 points based on the formula (Drivers Time / Fastest Class Time) x 1000..
- Only the fastest runs of the day are scored.
- You must score points in at least 3 events per season in a single car in a single class to qualify for the season championship.
- You can compete in more than one class, but you can only qualify for season championship points in one class.
- If an event gets cancelled, the minimum number of events to qualify (3) will stay the same.
- Points cannot be transferred to a different class.
- Class standings are determined by the points total from each driver's 3 best events.
- In the event of a tie in point totals, the season average score (average of the driver's best 3 events) will be used to determine the season championship. If there is a tie in the season average scores as well, then the championship will be determined by the highest average score from the best 4 events.
