The School will be a 1-Day program held on Saturday (Nov 28th) followed by an Open Practice on Sunday (Nov 29th).
The purpose of this school is to introduce new members to the sport of SCCA autocross. The school is suited for beginners

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.

Please note that priority will be given to School students and instructors.
All "Open Practice Only" entries will be waitlisted until the school attendee list is finalized.

Please spread the word!

Those looking to volunteer as instructors, please contact me or Jon Hartendorp.

Logistics question:

- Does the Saturday School format support situations where 2 novices may be sharing 1 car?

Sorry no sharing of cars by students for the school.

It is listed in the special rules section at the bottom of the flyer

If we have enough turnout to make 3 to 4 run groups, we should be able to accommodate shared vehicles for the school (no promises!).

How do you know if you are on the wait list or are in the school and practice? My name is listed on the entry list but the e-mail I received said I was on the wait list. Thanks, Kathy

Please recheck the site. You should be listed as confirmed.
The waitlist was used as we needed to ensure space for students on Sunday.

yes my registration says confirmed

So if I received an email with a registration confirmation then I'm in correct?

Any more room for a student on Saturday?

Perhaps Mathew can give you some pointers?

Actually, I dragged my feet a bit too long and wanted to see if I can get Matt into the school as a student (and perhaps Sunday practice if it's not all booked up). MSR has the front door locked, so I can't waitlist him. Although, at this point, maybe he should instruct and I should re-enroll as a student!

We currently have room for about 2-3 more students for 1 Day School Entry Only.
PM me and I will register him

PM sent.

Great Job on event master Sean!! School was very well organized.

Each student had 1:1 time for the whole heat they were in and really appreciated it!!

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered and worked so hard to make the Novice School possible.

The event was so well organized, and the amount of seat time and instruction was amazing - thanks Bill : )

I really cannot thank everyone enough and I am looking forward to next season.
