REGISTRATION:
For 2013 drivers will register in the car class they choose. It is up to the driver to make sure they are registering in the correct car class, according to the rules/classes provided. Any Questions, Help and guidance from the Autocross committee prior to your registration is encouraged. If you are not sure, please feel free to ask. We are here to help.
Registration can be done at www.clubregistration.net/ Just search Carolina PCA events

Autocross Event Rules:
We cannot run the event without the Participants help as volunteers.
So, All Drivers are required to volunteer between their run group Sessions. If drivers do not volunteer their help in between runs, OR leave early Before the event is over and the course breakdown is completed, then they will not get credit, or points or awards for their runs. The exception is if the Driver has equal times volunteering with equal Run sessions. Example (You ran 1 session, and then volunteered 1 Session, and then you had to leave). In this case you would get Credit for your 1st runs.
Drivers are expected to be honest and truthful with their class registration to the best of their ability. You are expected to read over the Class Rules, and familiarize yourself with them. Please ask anyone on the Autocross committee for further explanation if you are not sure on any of the classification rules.
PROTEST:
If any driver feels someone in their class should not be in there, or has modifications that would Disqualify them, that driver is allowed to make a formal protest. The Autocross committee will then review/ investigate the protest, thoroughly look over the car and compare the information with the PCA Rules set forth. If it’s deemed the car was not classified correctly, or had illegal modifications, the driver will be disqualified and no points awarded.

Class Points will be awarded for each Autocross event as follows:
1st Place 6 Pts.
2nd Place 4 Pts.
3rd Place 3 Pts.
4th Place 2 Pt.

How close to a typical autox does the PCA event run? We talking your average autocross course and everything?

[srduck]

The event I did with them was a fairly straightforward AutoX course, albeit it a little tight. It was at Knights, though. I've been talking to Sean about it lately and I've given him some of the old maps that Licursi posted here for previous courses, so I have a feeling this one will be a lot more open and flowing.

What class did you enter in? Because it looks like all the classes are for Porsche only? Unless maybe you enter an Improved class?
