Nov 17: TMR Sears Point Charity Auto-x - $75 for 40+ runs
 

I will be attending the Infineon HPDE on this day, but I'm also thinking about doing the Auto-x that is going on at the same time/location. I've always wanted to try a cone course, but I'm not a quick enough learner to do well in only 5 -10 runs.

[B]TLDR[/B]: $75 all day entry for 40+ runs. 2 separate courses in the morning, then 1 big course after lunch.

I'm assuming you don't have to work the course since TMR staff will be on site, but I emailed them to confirm. I think it's just show up and drive.

Info form TMR:
[QUOTE] Childrens Charity Event & Autocross - As noted above, registration is open for our Nov 17th Charity Autocross and Road Course event. The Autocross will run in conjunction with our road course event in the back paddock. Event proceeds will benefit Speedways Motorsports Childrens Charities( [url=http://www.speedwaycharities.org/]Speedway Children's Charities[/url] ), a charity TMR drivers have helped donate over $50K to over the past 9 years! It's your support of TMR events that allows us to continue to donate to this entity.

Road Course entry fee is $199 (can't beat that for a Saturday at Sears Point!) Autocross is $75.

A few 'factoids' about the Autocross....

The Autocross is set-up in the back paddock at Sear Point and it takes approximately 50 seconds to run the entire course.
In the morning we split the area into two tracks/courses and each driver will drive and master each of these throughout the morning sessions
After lunch, both halves of the track are combined to provide drivers a longer full course.
Unlike other Autocross events hosted by other entities, this event provides drivers 40+ runs throughout the day! So, if you want to get familiar with your car around some cones, this event will help you accomplish that!
This is also a great way to introduce the whole 'high performance driving thing' to friends and/or family. Autocross events are on flat surfaces and the only things to hit are cones!

I am definitely going to try to make this! Get back from SRP two days before so i will have to make sure the Subi is dialed in before i leave.

Sounds like fun, especially with 40 runs and assuming they have a good course. But with 40 runs that's going to kill a lot of tires.

Yes it will. I dont think i will hit all 40 runs. Probably use it as a "testing" day. Try out different dampening settings, sway bar settings, etc.

Great idea, I agree this is a great chance to push the car and test dampening/sway settings safely.

More info about the day, some work is needed in the afternoon:
[QUOTE]
The morning sessions have no work assignments, as they as managed by our staff, so you can come and go as you please.

The afternoon sessions need course workers to maintain safety and reset cones.
In the afternoon the schedule is one hour run/one hour work and then repeated.

Just signed up. Anyone know what time it starts? Doesn't seem to say anywhere on their site.

Sweet. Let me know. I've got fronts. I want rears to put on my wagon.

If the rotors are solid I'll take those too.

50 second course on that small lot?

I don't think I'd have liked such a tight course myself. But I'd do it for the charity.

Yeah, seems to be tight if the upcoming event will be similar to this one: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i30gIPa65bQ[/ame]
