Autocross FAQ

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.
