2011 GGLC Autocross Points Event 2

IMPORTANT! - GREAT AMERICA SITE RULES:

·  Exhibitionist driving (drifting, doughnuts, burnouts, etc) will NOT be tolerated. Such driving will lead to immediate dismissal from the site and banning from future GGLC autocross events.

·  If you should spin on course, regain control of your car as quickly as possible with the minimum of tire squealing and continue on your run.

·  Excessive loud exhaust will not be allowed. No open exhaust. Exhaust systems must be road legal for the highway.

These new rules at Great America are a result of complaints received during car events at Great America. Any future complaints will result in the CLOSURE of the Great America site for autocross events. Please be considerate and help the autocross community keep this site. Please follow the above rules. If you see anyone violating these rules please immediate contact the event organizers and speak to the offending driver.

GGLC AUTOCROSS FORMAT

GGLC Autocross events will have a limited number of drivers to allow drivers to get a large number of runs. Drivers are broken into three run groups A(1), B(2), C(3) and the groups rotate between running,  working and resting.  All drivers are required to work in both morning and afternoon sessions. We don't allow half-day sign-ups.

WHAT IS NEEDED & RULES:

• Bring water, there's no water on-site.
• Sun-screen is a must if you're prone to burning. It gets windy, so bring a warm jacket.
• Helmets are required, DOT or better. A few loaner helmets will be available.
• All occupants (driver and passenger) must have a helmet and seat belt on while on course.
• Age limit is 18 to drive, 16 to ride, drivers must have valid driver's license.
• Speed limit within the AutoX site is a maximum of 15 MPH
• Only GGLC members can compete for points. Others should only register choosing fun/practice option provided.
• GGLC members running for points must properly fill out their car class information. Remember, we will score your points using indexed times based on this information. It is your responsiblity to enter correct information. When unsure please contact us for clarification. See below on details of indexed times calculation.
• Incorrect car classification may lead to artifically low indexed times which in turn will unjustly place you ahead of the others. If this happens and others protest event organizers will correct results once the truth is established.
• We use permanent number system throuout entire year race season and don't allow duplicate numbers. Acceptable numbers are given from the pool 1...999. Leading zeroes are ignored (i.e. 042 and 42 is the same number).  Once the number is used it stays with that driver as long as you actively participate in our events (if you don't show up for over a year we may revoke the number and give it to some one else).
• If you want to use your own car numbers or want to change number please contact us to make sure your desired number is not taken already by some one else.
• Chuforia graffix is the official graphics provider for the GGLC. You can order numbers or any other car graphics at this link.
• If you don't have your own number answer "yes" to relevant question when registering.
• If you drive at the event you're required to honor your work assignment. Senior drivers (70+) are not required to work but may choose to do so if they wish.
• If you sign up for event you are required to honor your work assignment for entire day. If you have some kind of emergency situation please work this out with event chair so that your position can be covered.

TIRE and CAR indexing rules
for those competing in our classes we will rank your indexed times.

If you compete in Open class please choose appropriate SCCA class on a sign-up form. We no longer calculate tire index for Open class. If you choose SCCA class it's assumed you will run on most competitive tires allowed for that SCCA class.

If you run Federal Elise or Exige then use our GGLC Classification Tool which will take into account your tire choice.
