Hi, I'm moving to SF from Austin by way of an eight month stint LA. I've
been racing with Spokes in Austin since 2001 and I've run a few CSCC events
here in SoCal. Looking at sfrscca.org, it sounds like local events are
fairly straight forward. If I understand it correctly:
1. All I need is my SCCA membership, there's no "local club" I have to join
as well. For example with CSCC events to run I have to have active
memberships with a local-club, CSCC AND SCCA.
2. There are three clubs that service the Bay Area: SFR, Sacramento and
Fresno.
3. When the Database in Unlocked, I'll be able to register online for future
events.
4. Events are split into a morning and afternoon half. You run and work the
same half, at the end of a half you're free to go, though you can stay as a
spectator.
5. If I have a guest who wants to see AutoX from the passenger seat, all
they need to do is pay the scca-weekend membership fee. If a guest wants to
race it is the scca-fee, plus the event fee and there are only a limited
number of guest-spots available per event.
A few more general questions:
6. Are there any course maps online? I'm just curious to see the style of
course. In Austin we tend to run really tight slalom heavy courses while
CSCC tends to run fast open courses biased towards long sweepers. Mostly I
think due to the sites available to each club.
7. I run two cars, a Mazdaspeed3 on street tires in DS and then I have a now
turbo (formerly super) charged Miata I run in SM2. How completely doomed
will I be by CARB in SM2? Much of the turbo setup has a CARB-EO number. I'm
not sure what the constraints are on the exhaust side or more importantly
what I can and can't do with the ECU. * Neither car is especially
competitive in their classes, the MS3 gets trounced by WRXs and the Miata
doesn't really compare to Beth/Erik's three rotor RX7 nor (I expect) to
Andy's big-boost RX7, but they're fun.
8. Is there an ical feed somewhere for SFR events?
9. Is this the best/main club list? The majordomo confirmation mail states
this is for people interesting in Triumph cars, but this is also the main
list linked from sfrscca.org.
