Let's do this!

Here's the info from the last autox thread:

Helmets are mandatory.

NorCal UFO will have loaner helmets available. Keep in mind, lots of people have used these helmets. I suggest you borrow an open face helmet if getting a loaner helmet.

You can also purchase new helmets from a vendor who is usually there.

As mentioned, you need to bring:

Valid, current driver's license
Helmet -- if you have one. Motorcycle helmet is fine. Loaners are available
Driving gloves -- this is optional
Sunscreen
Wide brim hat
Jacket -- it might be sunny, but it can get windy and cold
Folding chairs
Blue painter's tape -- so car won't get marked up by the cones you hit =)
Air compressor -- to pump up your tires so they're not rolling over. I can explain this later.
Tire pressure gauge
No missing lug nuts
Tires must not show cords, sidewalls must not have severe curb damage.

You need to attend the Mandatory drivers meeting. You are not allowed to run if you don't attend the meeting.

I can try to answer any other questions or concerns. Just post them on here.

-Ryan

I'll probably bring out the IS, but the GS is tempting to run.

What about spectators?
Can we just show up at anytime and watch the show?

FREE to spectate. You can come and go as you please.

$35 for one driver, $60 for a 2-driver car, and each driver has 4 runs.

@ Glen: You will have fun with either car, but yes, the IS will be better if the course it tight.

@DigitalDon: It is FREE to spectate. Everybody is welcome to just come and watch the autoxers. At the Father's Day autox, there was a ThunderDrift competitor who drifted the course from the first turn. Lots of fun to watch.
