If this is your first Philly Region event:
Philadelphia Region runs a novice program to help newcomers to the sport get through their first couple of events and have fun doing it.
- There will be a Novice course walk with an instructor at 9am. Walk the course on your own before this time, in order to get the most value from the guided walk.
- During your run group, Instructors will be available - put your 4-way flashers on to indicate that you'd like one to ride along.
- If this is your first autocross event, arrive early to ensure that you have time to register, prep your car, tech, and walk the course before 9am.
- All autocross events are run/work events, and during one heat you will help work the course. Please review this useful information about courseworking put together by the Susquehanna region: http://www.scca-susq.com/autocross/beginners-guide/working-the-course/
