Turn ‘n Burn Autocross

After a short break, we’re back at the Q on Sunday August 8th
Register Online at http://sdbmwcca.motorsportreg.com
Online Registration will be open from Jul 19 – Aug 2
The first 10 non-BMWs to register are guaranteed a spot

August is the only month without an official or unofficial Holiday. So we’ll create our own celebration of warm asphalt and take our Bimmers out to play for a day! We have the BIG West Lot for a course layout full of fun challenges. Due to the absence of stock participants, all 4-cylinder BMWs are now combined into B Class whether stock or modified. (There were ZERO A Class drivers for our most recent Runoff). Let’s also remember to thank our old friends at the newly-renamed South County BMW in El Cajon for supporting our Autocross Program. Online registration improves our process, especially for our long-distance and non-BMW competitors, so don’t miss it. We have sold out in advance online, so we urge you to register between July 19th and August 2nd. Online registration always opens 3 weeks before the event and closes 1 week before. Don’t wait until the last minute because it’s still first-come, first-served (with no online waiting list). We’ll still offer registration on-site if any slots are available, with an entry limit of the first 100 drivers (90 BMWs and MINIs and the first 10 non-BMWs).

The entry fee is $60, including breakfast items, lunch and beverages. You can pay online if you register in advance or on site if you wait. You must be a BMW CCA member to participate, and you can join online at www.bmwcca.org in advance. Our Chapter autocross policy gives priority to current members who are driving BMWs or MINIs. Members driving non-BMWs will be allowed to participate if space is available. If openings are still available after online registration, on-site cut-off time for BMW and MINI drivers will be about 7:30, which will be determined solely by the event steward. After the cut-off time, waiting members driving non-BMWs 11th in line or higher will be allowed to register until all spots are filled. Club members driving BMWs or MINIs who arrive after the 7:30 AM cut-off will fall in behind everybody already waiting

REMEMBER: IF REGISTERED ONLINE, BRING PROOF OF MEMBERSHIP AND ARRIVE BY 7:30 (BEFORE ON-SITE CUT-OFF) TO KEEP YOUR RESERVED SPOT

When you arrive:

1. If you registered online, stop at the gate to sign the waiver and notify the Gate Greeter. Your name will be checked off the pre-registration list. Members driving a BMW or MINI registering on site will get a BLUE gate card. Non-BMWs drivers who have not pre-registered will get a RED gate card. There is no guarantee that spots will be available for those who wait to register the day of the event.
2. Empty all loose items from your car, then go through the Tech Line and have your car inspected. Bring your Tech card and you will receive Tech and helmet stickers.
3. Take Gate card and Tech card to registration to get checked off for pre-registration or pay your $50 entry fee. You will receive car numbers to place on your side windows.
4. If you don't have a helmet, you can rent one from the club for $10.
5. Your entry fee of $60.00 includes one lunch and unlimited beverages. Additional lunches can be purchased at Registration for $5 each.
Gates will open at 6:30am; tech and registration will open at 7:00am. Tech will close at 8:20am and no cars will be inspected or allowed to run after this time. There is a mandatory drivers meeting at 8:30am and the course opens for runs at 9:00am.
Car Classifications: See the list below for our simple classifications. We also offer the "Gold Class" to any drivers who want to be classified with the Instructors. May the hottest shoe win.
Women drivers and Novices are classified based upon the car they are driving. We also award a Women's Class trophy to the woman with the fastest time, and two Novice trophies to the two fastest novices. This means women and novices will be eligible for multiple trophies. For example, a very fast novice could win a novice trophy and a trophy in his car class. Remember, you are only a novice for the first and second time you autocross, and if you win a trophy, you are now a ringer, not a novice.
Stock class may run any size wheel and tire, aftermarket shock absorbers, and any air filter or cat-back exhaust system. ANY other performance modification, including but not limited to springs, "R"-compound tires, and engine software, puts the car in Modified. We use the honor system. Please class your car accordingly.
