Neue Klasse Autocross

New Classes debut on August 1st
Register Online July 10-27 at sdbmwcca.motorsportreg.com
The First 20 non-BMW to register are guaranteed a spot

Our second half of 2010 opens with the debut of our new Autocross classes, adding new definitions, a whole new T class and 4 more trophies. More winners is a good thing! BMW made its mark with the Neue Klasse sedans that led to the 2002, and the rest is history. Now you can be part of OUR new era. Look at the class definitions below and choose the right one when you register online. So come down to the West Lot and join our new autocross era, whether you’re a first-timer or a veteran looking for a different trophy. We appreciate BMW South County in El Cajon for supporting our Autocross Program as it improves. We’ll hold up to 20 spots for non-BMW drivers who register in advance. Online registration benefits local drivers, long-distance travelers and non-BMW competitors by reserving a spot, so don’t miss it. You can register between July 10th and 27th. Online registration opens 3 weeks before the event and now closes just a few days 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 for any remaining slots, up to 100 drivers.

The entry fee is $60, which includes breakfast items, lunch and beverages. You can pay online if you register in advance at sdbmwcca.motorsporteg.com , or register on site with cash or check if you wait. You must be a BMW CCA member to participate, and you can join online at www.bmwcca.org in advance. Please print and bring your membership confirmation if you have not yet received your BMW CCA membership card. We check membership of all participants at the gate. Our Chapter autocross policy gives priority to members who are driving BMWs or MINIs. Members driving non- BMWs will be allowed to participate if space is available. If we still have openings after online registration, we will allow registration on-site on a first-come, first-served basis.

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. All participants must show their BMW CCA membership card. Those who did not register online will receive a numbered card at the gate in their order of arrival; take it to the Registration table. 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 $60 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 $7 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 register 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 or her 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 classes permit any size wheel and tire; non-stock shock absorbers, bushings and strut braces; any brake pad material (brakes must be stock-size), any air filter or cold air intake or cat-back exhaust; and naturally-aspirated cars may use aftermarket engine management software. Tires must be 140 treadwear rated or higher in Stock. ANY other performance modification, including but not limited to springs, “R”- compound tires, and engine software for turbocharged/supercharged cars, puts the car in Modified. We use the honor system. Please classify your car accordingly:
