All vehicle occupants must wear a helmet meeting Snell '2000 or later standards.
All participants must be on site and registered by 9 a.m.
| Q. - Who can participate
in PNWR autocross events? |
| A. |
Events are open
to Porsche drivers, PCA members in non-Porsches and guests of PCA
members. You do not need to be a PNWR member to compete for points,
but points are not assigned in Time Only Class (non-Porsches and a
few drivers not running in the regular classes). Members get
priority registration. |
| Q. - Where are autocross
events held? |
| A. |
All autocross events are held at
Bremerton
Raceway. Directions and facility info are on the
autocross
track info page. |
| Q. - When do the events
start? |
| A. |
All events
begin with on-site registration at 8 a.m. The full day's schedule is
listed above. |
| Q. - What are the
requirements for participants? |
| A. |
All cars must
pass an on-site technical inspection to participate.
All vehicle occupants are required to wear a helmet meeting Snell
2000* or later standards. This applies whether you are driving or
riding with (or as) an instructor. If you don't have a helmet, you
may be able to borrow one from a kind soul at the track, so don't
let lack of a lid prevent you from trying autocross.
Full-face and half helmets are acceptable, and you'll get varied
opinions on which is best for this event, so don't be afraid to
ask another driver for a recommendation before you buy. |
|
Q. - What else should I bring? |
| A. |
Bring a tarp!
You'll need to empty your car
before driving it (required by the tech inspection) so that nothing
loose can roll around and get to your brake pedal before you do. The
"pit" is a grassy area, so most drivers spread out a tarp to put
their stuff on, then fold it over the top if it starts to rain.
Autocross typically takes place rain or shine.
Bring some water, snacks and a lunch, there is no food available at the track. |
|
Q. - What should I wear for autocrossing? |
| A. |
The weather at Bremerton can change quickly pretty
much any time of year, so come prepared for sun (hat, sunglasses,
sunscreen), rain, or windy conditions.
When your group is not driving you'll be working a corner (don't
fret, it's easy and you'll have lots of help -- someone has to pick
up those traffic cones that get knocked down), so wear comfy shoes
and be prepared to stand outside for several hours. |
| Q. - What does it cost to
participate in autocross? |
| A. |
$20 (PCA members) per driver if you pre-register online. $25 per driver on-site registration & time-only. Fee is payable by cash or check at the track. |
| Q. - Who do I contact if I
have questions? |
| A. |
Contact Linda or Tim Kornacki at
autocross@pnwr.org or 425-672-0209. |
