Attention RallyCross Drivers. The 2011 RallyX season is closing fast upon us and it's time to start siging up for the Finale weekend of the Glen Helen RallyX series.

Just four weeks away, October 15th and October 16th will be the final weekend for the Glen Helen Series. Saturday is an open practice day, Sunday is the normal championship.


Link to Registration (MyAutoEvents)
Pre-reg closes the week before the event, then prices go way up.

Tech and Reg open at 7am
Walking 7am-8:30 and at Lunch
First car off at 9:00

Saturday (Practice) Fees:
$10/lap or $40/5

Sunday (Championship) Fees:
Pre-Reg SCCA Members $50
Pre-Reg Non-Members $55
Pre-Reg 2nd Entry* $40
Reg Day-Of $70
*2nd Entry is any "X" run after normal class runs


There's already 16 entries spread well over the classes. Now is the time to register so we can start planning for the number of entrants! You do not need to pre-pay to take advantage of the pre-reg discount.

For the Championships there are trophies for the class winners and medals for top 3 in all classes. And again there will be a special prize for top lap of each day. Additionally, at least $4 of every entrant goes into the prize pool for the season series (details can be found on the CalClubRallyX.com site). Season prize pool is already at $560.

Novices and experts alike are welcome. If you think you need it, instruction is usually easy to find, and we have some loaner helmets for free use as well.

We've got pretty good momentum on the year, so lets close it out strong for a seriously cool season.

Car's a car. Would go to Stock 2wd or 4wd as needed.

Rental cars are a very valid and competitive option. There's always several that show up, probably me included this time around.

What is the most competitive (and fun) rental car option?

Small inexpensive ones. I've had pretty good luck with Rios/Accents. I've seen Focuses (Foci?) do well. The larger ones tend to struggle when the dirt gets watered. You want light and tossable, power isn't that important, especially in 2wd tire restricted classes.

Two weeks until Southern California's final RallyCross of the year. With Solo national's over and this being an 'off' weekend for the AutoXers, it's a perfect time to come out and try your hand in the dirt.

If you're unsure of full blown competition, Saturday is a 'Practice' day where it's very informal and and you can simply pay per run. We're up to about 15 practice entries.

For Sunday's championship, we're at 35 entries spread mostly to the MOD side of classing. The stock class (esp 2wd) is expected to pick up several entries from the rental car crowd and usually turns out to be our biggest class.

We have award ceremonies at Lunch and at the end of the day. Since this is the season finale we'll also be giving out the season awards, including about $700 in cash (well, checks).

I love seeing the AutoXer's out there. For those that have ran Glen Helen in the past (prior to this year), I'm "New Management", so the event flow is much better these days than previous seasons, you won't be disappointed.

Note you do not need to pre-pay to pre-reg, so if you know your coming, reg as soon as possible or end up paying more.

Call or e-mail me for questions.

Jay, I want to pay cash at the event but didn't see a way to do that. It seems you can't register without paying. HELP!

When registering (filling in form), the third option down is "Championship (Sun) - Pay at Event" and the 7th option down is "Practice Entry (Sat) - Pay at Event".

Let me know if your still havimg trouble.

Just one week to go!

Pre-reg cuts off on Wednesday, then it's $70 on site ($20 more!). you don't need to pre-pay to take advantage of the pre-reg discount, just pick "pay at event".

This is looking to be the biggest weekend we've had all year. Although the normal juggernaught Stock 2WD class is WAY down on entries. This is where the rental cars come play. I'd love to see some of you outlayers sign up and join us, I think you'll greatly enjoy my event methods.

Keep your ears open, there's a small chance I could have a car for loan to a stock 2wd driver.

LAST DAY FOR PRE-REGISTRATION

Pre-reg closes at midnight tonight. We've currently got 66 pre-entries in. I would register as soon as possible because we might just hit the limit of 80 entrants for Sunday.

Loads of fun, weather is looking great for the weekend as well.

Look for my short term special offer of a cheap rental car!

Thanks for all those that came out to the RallyX. We had record attendance on Saturday's practice (52) and the largest crowd this year on Sunday's practice (60).

Results are up on the RallyX web page.

We ended up with approximately $750 in series cash given away in addition to championship jackets and trophies.

It'll be a few months until next year's schedule is finalized. We're hoping for four weekends in 2012.
