About this event
ONLINE EVENT REGISTRATION is now CLOSED. The event currently has a waitlist for all drivers that do not already hold a Zone 8 Competition Permit. It is suggested that if you do not have these credentials and you did not register prior to the close of online registration you NOT show up at the track, for it is unlikely you will be able to run. Our next event will be a Time Trial and DE at Buttonwillow Raceway Park on November 12-13. Student spots at this event are expected to sell out soon and Students are accepted first come, first served. Register now at http://msreg.us/BW1111 to ensure your place at the event.

Taste of the Track: If you'd like to experience the thrill of a DE without actually taking the wheel you may sign up for our Taste of the Track program. For $50 you will receive all communications that our drivers receive, participate in all drivers meetings, and ride along in the passenger seat of one of our skilled Instructor's cars all day. In short, you'll receive the same experience as one of our Students without actually driving.

Prior to your card actually being charged, your total due will be adjusted to $100. Subject to Instructor availability.

A 2011 Zone 8 Competition Permit or Log Book is required. Students without a Log Book or experienced drivers with credentials from another club should select the documentation option on the registration page.

Experienced drivers new to SDR events may also be required to have an Instructor until their competency has been demonstrated.
Pre-tech is Strongly Encouraged! Please try to take your car in for service and have it thoroughly inspected prior to this event.

Plus you'll want to ensure your car is in good running condition. All entrants pre-teching must present a Tech Inspection Form with name, address, phone, car, class, etc. to a qualified tech inspection shop. The form may be found at: http://pcasdr.net/pcasdr/forms/AXRegForm.pdf. The Tech Inspection Form changed in Janaury 2011. Please download the new form using the link above. Do not use an older form. Cars inspected by shops not personally known to the Registrar are subject to random on-site re-inspection.
