About this event
*This registration page is for Velocity-X on Saturday only. If you are looking to register for the other or both events, look for the "AutoX Main Event" reg page with similar picture.
VCMC and OPDA are thankful for the opportunity to run an Autoslalom event in Merritt BC, at the airport. Both clubs are coming together to host this first-time event in order to help build the community and find suitable venue for long term use. The facility has a large apron and full runway that can be used for the event surface We are running an event on both the Saturday and Sunday of this weekend.
The Event - Velocity X (Saturday)
Format will be similar to a Velocity driver training event, with a few tweaks.
The Morning - Full Course 3 Runs: 3 runs each on the full course
Mid-day - Form Teams & Breakout Sections: The course will be divided into 3 breakout sections so that drivers can practice those course elements isoloted from the larger course. 10 instructors have been selected and they will be teamed up with 3 or 4 other drivers, based on the results of the morning session. Instructors are encouraged to guide their team members in order to improve each breakout section.
Afternoon - Full Course 3+ Runs & Team Results: The main course will be reformed and drivers will get 3+ more runs to set their new fastest lap. After the monring's practice, breakout sessions, and instructor guidance, some gains would be expected. Each team will be scored based on their improvement from morning runs.
*No sandbagging morning runs. We are highly suspicious judges and we will disqualify anyone grossly underperforming from their baseline.
The event is capped at 50 participants.
