For 2022 no, we got everything we could ti finish the year, but in March next year looks like we *should (pending confirmation close tot eh end of the year)* be able to have a Saturday/two days of awesome event
-
Coming this Fall we are adding a second site to our mix. There is a large freshly Paved Parking Lot at the Kino Sports Complex. We have secured the following dates:
10/23/22
11/20/22
12/18/22
and are working to continue with additional dates in 2023 as well!
So for those of you missing a large open parking lot we have you covered again! This site is costing the club a fair amount more than Musselman, so please help get the word out and come check out our new venue this Fall.

If the course is actively wet we would not run for the reasons mentioned (if just spots are wet we may evaluate those specific regions.) Right now it looks like the rain chances do not pick up till after lunch, and even those are <50% so if we can get some extra help setting up, and move quickly between run groups we can do out best to get the full event in. (that and I always take Arizona rain chances with a grain of salt...) I would also think there is a good chance that if there was a passing shower that the course could dry off quickly.
On 6/22/2022 at 9:59 AM, smeyers said:Rain question. Given that these courses utilize sections of a road course, i.e., narrower than a skidpad, what are the rules relative to running in the wet?
Would you still run?
When Phoenix ran at the CAC College mini road course, I know they did not. Wondering what your rules are. Thanks.
-
Each run group gets 4 runs. So you can get a maximum of 8 if you select "time only" runs to add 4 more fun runs after the 4 "competition" runs.

Yes the path from Rita should be good. If you have not been down Houghton lately, they are turning it into 2 lanes each with a median, so they are doing big construction over there.
-
I have heard an unconfirmed rumor that Dawn Rd is currently closed due to the construction, and Brekke may now be open, if heading in from the north you may want to take Brekke in if it is open to avoid having to turn around.

We are hosting a Solo Safety Steward (SSS) training session May 14th. Location is TBD in Tucson (pending how many are interested), and will be taught by Gene Sanders
Training is open to everyone and free of charge (You do not need to be an experienced driver to attend)
What is SSS:
- You are the eyes and ears for the SCCA at local events to make sure they are run safely.
Why take the training:
- SSS is a certification from the national SCCA office that will show up on your liscence
- The club needs trained individuals to be able to hold an event, if there are no SSS' for an event, it cannot be held
- It provides a new way to look at the way events are run and why courses are designed the way they are for safety
- When selected for an event this counts as your work assignment (we always have 2 SSS to both can drive like normal at the event
If you are interested in attending, or have questions please reply here, or send me a message so we can get a feel for total number of attendees.

Sounds like you have a fun new car. You can e-mail chieftech -at- azbrscca.org
But honesty the tech we do is really general safety to put a final visual on the car before going on track. Ultimately the safety of the car is your responsibility
- Does the brake pedal have good feel,
- are the wheels/hubs tight (can you grab the pull/shove the wheel and feel any play),
- same with the steering wheel, does the steering feel tight,
-
is your battery secure (this one gets a lot of people, it should not move when pulled on),
- If the battery is in the trunk it needs to have a positive post cover,
- are there any loose items inside the cabin,
- Are there unsecured floormats,
- is there at least a lap seatbelt, and is it in good condition,
-
are fluids contained in proper canisters (will anything spill out while cornering).
- Are there any fluids leaking
- Do you have snell 2010 or newer helmet
- Are there any cords showing on the tires
- windsheild cracks
Read thru the SCCA rules as well if you have not: https://www.scca.com/downloads/53335-2021-scca-solo-rule-book/download

I’m new to this chapter of SCCA and am wanting to get back into auto-x. I used to race regularly but it’s been many, many years ago. I’m planning on coming out to the event this weekend but am wanting to get my 13 year old son involved. Am I able to bring him along? My hope is for him to be my shadow and to both ride along and work the heats with me.
Thanks for any feedback and hope to meet everyone in a few days!
Minors in the "hot" areas require a Minor Waiver to be filled out. This requires signatures from both parents/legal guardians. The best option is for both parents to be on site to sign when an SCCA member can witness the signatures. If both cannot be on site, there is a form that can be signed in front of a notary form here: https://www.scca.com/downloads look for SCCA Minor Notary 1068 v9.2020 The form MUST be printed in color
-
As long as the site is not flooded like it was earlier in the year we should be able to hold the event. looking at wunderground they are predicting <.1" of rain and more of that finished while we are sleeping, so I expect we will be able to have a good event tomorrow.
You might want to throw a trash bag or two in your car to cover the items to you take out.

We are running a little low on board members for tomorrows event. If there are a few people who can show up 15-30 minutes before the gates open to help us setup it would be much appreciated to keep the event rolling on schedule.
