Autocross - San Antonio June 7th
Not sure how many trucks here are setup for handling & corner racing, but for those that are, the next event is this Sunday.
For those that have never raced, come out and try it. You will LOVE IT!! Don't matter what you drive either. Driver > Vehicle. Lets get more trucks out on the course whooping sports cars ***! We kill them in straight line, now lets play ball on their field and kick there *** in the corners.

June 7th we'll be joining the great folks of SASCA at the AT&T Center for some awesome autocross action. The June 7th event will be a Divisional-in-a-Day format with a set of runs in the morning and a set of runs in the afternoon. Best time for the day will be a combination of fastest morning and fastest afternoon run.
This event will be a divisional-style event where we will run one course in the morning and you will have four runs to "nail it." Then we'll change the course up and run a different course in the afternoon with another 4 runs to "nail it." The best time from each course will be added together for your final time of the day. See attached images for course layouts.
Race Day Schedule:
* 8:00-9:00AM REGISTRATION and TECH open. Pre-registered folks must check-in. Work/run assignments will be announced at drivers meeting.
* 9:00-9:15AM LATE REGISTRATION open. Registrations accepted for an additional $5 charge.
* 9:00-9:15AM NOVICE WALK-THRU and COURSE OPEN for walking. (Course may be open before 9AM, if available).
* 9:30AM Mandatory Drivers Meeting at the timing trailer.
* 9:40AM First Heat Cars To Grid, First Heat Workers to Report.
* 9:45AM First Car out.
* Generally a full day affair. Depending on turnout there may or may not be a lunch break
10 Things to do on race day
If you're new to autocrossing or just have some questions regarding what to do to prepare for an event, then read on! First of all, please be aware that autocrossing will very likely take ALL DAY! In order to participate, you need to be willing to devote nearly all of the daylight hours to it. Below is a checklist of helpful items to follow...
* Pre-register online at http://www.spokes.org ahead of time (if possible)
* Arrive to the site with plenty of air in your tires (typically max. recommended pressure because it's easier to release air than to put it in, especially if you don't have a compressor or air tank). Once you get to the site, ask experienced autocrossers what pressures they'd recommend for your car
* Secure a pit spot, taking only as much space as you need
* Drive your car to Tech to get it inspected, unless you already have a yearly Tech sticker. You need to get your car inspected before proceeding to registration
* Proceed to registration (typically near the van) to register and get your work assignment from the Worker Chief
* Walk the course. Follow or walk with more experienced drivers, if you need assistance. Everyone is willing to help!
* Novices are welcomed to join in the Novice Walk-Through with our Novice Chief just prior to the Drivers Meeting
* Attend the Drivers Meeting which is scheduled to start at 9:00
* Pay attention to the heats that are running and preparing to run so that you report on time (or early!)
* Our schedules can be inconsistent due to different numbers of drivers in each heat. When you venture off for lunch, please hurry back so that you do not miss your runs or your work assignment. The best plan is to bring your lunch and drinks with you from home
