To participate in the autoX, the car must be in good working order, no visible leaking fluid, etc. If registering online, $35; if not an SCCA member, a weekend membership +$15. day of registration or payment is an additional $5.

The club has loaner helmets which will be at the start line. Other stuff is the minor stuff which makes a big differnece in a long day, but you would pack it for a bbq anyway, food, water, hat, sunscreen, etc.

I haven't been to on AutoX on LI. What's the spectating/bbq only? I'm still sign a waiver at the gate and get different wrist bands. No fee. Am I correct?

...You don't have to participate in any runs and judging from the bbq chat thread I am going to make this simple and just leave it as a bbq and lot pimping to just hang out.

NYR Auto-x has rules and guidelines so it is already clear that we must have a chill time and no burn outs and douchebag behavior. We must also remember to clean up.

I am also thinking of making it a byob (bring your own bbq) but still offer the raffle and pay option to those who want to chip in. You can pack some snacks and come chill or chip in.. it's up to you. Pick a date and once that is done we can go back to the bbq chat thread and decide on what to do from there.
The autoX also an alcohol free zone. there's no work around that. No booze, no driving. Outside of the drivers, any out of control behavior, you will be asked to leave(by LEO, if neccessary). Bad behavior reflects on both clubs.

Is there any shade @ the Auto-X? August is pretty hot to be sitting on chairs in the middle of a parking lot all day.
Tent city is the way to go. Getting 3-4 popups lashed together is definitely better than being on the pavement all day. Its way to easy too get a sunburn out there. just be mindful that the wind does pick up. If the date chosen is one of the autoXs, those who are not familiar with the timetable of the day, people start arriving at 7am. The front spots in a corner which would make a club area for the tents tend to dissapear very quickly. having had subaru bbq's at parks before, some people had to arrive much earlier than others to make sure that table and grills were nabbed before other parties got them.

If the people that come early want to be part of the autoX, we can try to make sure that only 1 work heat(the AM) is given so people can still have club time for the BBQ and lunch. Maybe even an s2k class if a number of people are interested.
jon,

that actually sounds like a great idea, not just for s2ki, but for other marques as well, schedules pending.

that would really spread the word out to enthusiasts in general.

Spectating for the autocross is free (just need to sign a waiver and you get a wristband).

Nice! I know I got you down for a free special to be raffled off. We should meet up and talk about details. Thanks for stepping up, bro.
