2016 CalClub Auto-x School and Open Practice (Nov 26-27)

Post by Sean Fenstermacher »

Hey All,

CSCC will be hosting a Novice School at AutoClub Speedway the weekend after Thanksgiving, Nov 26-27th.

The School will be a 1-Day program held on Saturday (Nov 26th) followed by an Open Practice on Sunday (Nov 27th).
The purpose of this school is to introduce new members to the sport of SCCA autocross. The school is suited for beginners
interested in autocross and looking to learn basic car control skills, or intermediate drivers who want improve on their autocross skills.

Students will have the option for priority entry to the Open Practice on Sunday, if they choose for 2-Day Entry.

For others just looking to burn off those Thanksgiving calories with a little bit of autocross, you can also just look to enter the Sunday Open Practice only.

For this event weekend, there will be no Championship Points event.

Pricing for the School and Open practice is as follows:

$55.00 – One Day School Entry Only (Includes Lunch and Weekend SCCA Membership)

$110.00 – Two Day Student Entry (School and Open Practice w/priority Entry)

$70.00 – Sunday Open Practice Entry Only (please understand priority will go to students)

Who is the Novice School intended for...???

"Novice": A person who has participated no more than 3 days per year within the last 3 years. A day is defined as any autocross or Solo event, run by any organization not limited to CSCC Solo or SCCA.
"Beginner": A person who has not participated in a full points season with the CSCC region or any of its counterparts. A full points season is defined as running enough races during a regular season to be considered a competitor in the class which they are running
"Intermediate": A person who has participated in a full points season with the CSCC region or any of its counterparts and is looking to further improve their driving school with one on one time with a more experienced driver coaching them throughout the day.

Entries are granted on a first-come/first-in basis. If the number of applications received on the final day exceeds the number of spaces available, late entrants will be put on a wait list.
Entry limit is 60 students. No restrictions at this time on type of entries.

We will look to have a student/instructor ratio of 2 students per every instructor.

If any of you have friends that you would like to introduce to the sport, this is a great opportunity!!! PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD!!!! :D

If you would like to volunteer as an instructor, please PM either me for details.
Instructors will have free entry to the Sunday Open Practice.

FYI, all instructors will be confirmed tomorrow.

As we always have last minute student cancellations, please note that it is possible some instructors will be left without students.
Even if there is no spot for teaching available, we still very much need all the assistance we can get with running the School.
Unassigned instructors will be asked to help out with other school duties in return for Sunday Practice entry.

Please look to see things firmed up in the next couple days!!

Thank you to all the instructors and students, who helped us organize and run another successful School!
In particular, I would like to thank Leonard for stepping up to be Event Master for Sunday and for Pete Loney for designing an exceptional course that was rewarding for both students and instructors! :clap:

I will look to send out a feedback survey to Students later this week.
If anyone has any particular survey questions they would like to add, please post them here or message me.
Thanks!
