Things you need to know before you sign up to run with us; 

1. You need a valid drivers license and the car you plan to use needs to have a current registration with valid sticker.  No dedicated racecars please. Your car must be street legal and have a full exhaust. Cars exceeding 105dB at the start line are subject to rejection. 

2. You will need a Snell M or SA 2005 or higher rated or helmet for 2011. FIA homologated helmets are ok.  We have a few loaners available if you're trying Autocross for the first time but they will not be guaranteed, so go and get a proper helmet.

3. The event runs from 7am to 6pm and we run rain or shine.  Come prepared. It is important that you are able to stay the entire day!  When you are driving, someone else is working the course picking up the cones that are struck.  We need you to work the course while other people are driving.  If you can't stay the entire day please wait for an event that you can stay all day before signing up. If you leave early for the day with out notifying the event chair, or without good reason, you will not be allowed into future events. 

4. We are only doing electronic online payments via Motorsportreg.  We will not accept cash or checks. 

5. You will need to select the appropriate class for your car when you sign up.. If you are unsure what class you belong in please contact us.  Here are the classes that we use at our events:

* Class Note - A class requires a minimum of 3 drivers, if that minimum is not reached then the class will be dropped for the event and you will be placed in either ER or ES depending on your tire.

6. Members will be allowed to register a permanent car number. This number will carry over to both SCMC and NESHOC events at Devens as we will be sharing data files for timing and scoring. Non members will have a random number selected for them which they will receive at the event. It is the driver's responsibility to mark their car with the number.

If you plan to run with us on a regular basis, and your permanent number is approved, please buy permanent number signs for your car.  It will save you money and frustration in the long run. The number needs to be visible from both sides of the car and a course worker should be able to read it from a few hundred feet away.  Colored tape will work but please bring it with you.
