Hello Autocrossers:

Those of you on the Autocross Update email list are getting this news first:

After a lot of anticipation, the San Diego Chapter now offers advance registration for our autocross events online! Our next event is the “Sunday Drive Autocross” on May 27th, the weekend of Memorial Day, in the big West Lot.

We’ll have a long, wide, fast course to let your BMW really stretch its legs. Our intent is to open registration online about 3 weeks before an autocross and close it a week before the event (or when it fills up). Registration is now open for this event, and it will close on May 19th.

There will be no waiting list; if you miss advance registration (and we still have openings), you’ll be able to register the day of the event as before (still first-come, first-served). We are guaranteeing a slot for the first 10 non-BMWs, whether it’s online or on site. Confirmations will be emailed so you’re sure that you’re in if you register online.

Registrations are still accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, but this will eliminate the early morning lineup and the uncertainty about getting one of our limited openings. For fairness to everybody, the start date of advance registration for future autocrosses will be published in Fahren Affairs and on the website. No registrations will be accepted before that date. Advance registration will close one week before each autocross event or when all openings are filled.

The $50 entry fee is payable by credit card using a secure connection via a BMW CCA-approved website.Online Registration Process:

Mike's $150 dollar 37 Plymouth... still does 13's in the quarter

A friend of his bought this from a backyard in Alpine, and had the intent of a father / son project... so did the son until the marvel of sanding lost its charm.

For 150 bucks it traded hands and was a 1/4 miler at Carlsbad, until that went extinct. Then it was eased into a cruiser engine, a 350... sorry, not a Mopar engine... for ease of gettign to and from car shows and 1/8 th mile drags at Qualcomm... where it made 8 passes due to the lack of participants... in about an hour.

The Hot Rod and Bike Expo was working with Racelegal.com, who are very thin on budget and don't advertise quite as much as you might like... especially when rumors pronounced the demise of Racelegal events due to budget shortfalls in the fall of '05, and all of '06. So today (April 14 '07) only a dozen bikes and cars were there racing before 2pm. Which is when the 67 Camaro took a turn into the K rails, and water barriers. That took a hour and a half to clean up, it took an hour for a flat bed to arrive.... not much reason to hurry when there weren't but a dozen racers waiting to resume racing.
