Hate to say it but I'll be attending the BMW Autocross instead of the Sunriders, even though I'll be driving a Miata. The larger course, and NAMELY the frequency, length, and quantity of runs are much higher. I feel like I'm getting my money's worth at the BMW Club's autocross... so much so I'm looking for an e36 M3 possibly (maybe that way I'll get on the results list on the website BMW pricks.

Just kidding at the end there.
(except really)

Edit: Oh sweet, they added non-Bmws, now I'm definitely going. I'll miss the old Sunriders at SPC but my car overheats from waiting so long in line there.

The usual schedule for a SunRiders event (by the way, this is the next to last SunRiders event... after December, SunRiders will no longer be doing autocrosses, we're making the move to NASA and there will be a few changes in how things are done) goes something like this:

7:00am - People start showing up and setup begins.
8:00am - Registration opens
9:30am - Registration closes
10:00am - Driver's meeting
10:30am - First car out
Noonish - Lunch
3-4:00pm - We clean up and go home.

We normally split into three run groups. One group will run while another group works the course and the third group hangs out. We try to do a minimum of 6 runs and often do more than that.

We don't do awards, but we do post results on the website after the event. (this is one of the things that may be changing with NASA... a little more competition, event awards, season championship, etc)
so if i show up around 8 will that be ok? I really don't have anything to unload seeing as i'm driving the car there and all.

You can show up at 9:29. I don't recommend it because you'll want ample time to walk the track, as well as get inspection over with.

Well, I was planning on attending the Sunrider's event seeing as I had so much fun last time. However, after reading a few of the above posts about the BMW events, I think I'm gonna check it out instead. I'll let you all know how it is.

You have to be on the list for the BMW event. Might be too late now. Person to contact is Barry Miller, I think.

Ok, I am back on for the Sunrider's event. Maybe next month I'll do the BMW thing. See you all there.
