Bring painters tape for your number, bring water, and closed toed shoes. You actually don't need a helmet, but I prefer to have my own as opposed to using the loaners. Lots of unwashed hair touches those

And if your car has lots miles like mine, it's not a bad idea to bring a few little tools just in case you have to fix something on the fly. I had a loose hose clamp that was dripping a bit of coolant once. I wouldn't have been able to pass the tech inspection without the help of some other Mid-A S2KI AutoXers

I'm wondering if someone should post it up in the main forum. No topic on it and STR looks too slim for people to be aware it's open IMO.

SATurday June 2nd CDC Autocross

Bowie Baysox Stadium, Bowie, MD is the location of the next CDC autocross on SATURDAY June 2nd.

Registration and tech inspection will be at 8:00 and will promptly close at 8:45 to try to accommodate the full field, while still giving 6 runs. You must be DONE by 8:45. So if you arrive at 8:00 you won't have a problem. Don't arrive at the last minute.


The event fee for the Saturday autocross is $30 for members and $40 for non-members at this event.
Hotdogs are now $2 and sausages are still $3. Drinks are still free.

Driver Numbers

We are transitioning to paper-less timesheets over the first three events. Removing the paper timesheets should make the event smoother and quicker. As this transition happens, we will need the participants to display their numbers on the cars. Over the years, we've gotten lazy over enforcing the numbers on cars, but now we will be strictly enforcing displaying numbers.

Bar Codes

Make sure you download the bar codes (same as the ones for 2011 - some of the early barcodes in early 2010 won't work. So if you want to use last year's barcodes, make sure it is the same format as the new barcodes).

If you have problems, you can e-mail me at capitaldriving@yahoo.com or we can also print barcodes for you at the event.

On-line Reservation System

Member reservations (or participants that will join the club upon showing up) for any events can be made at any time. Open reservations for non-members for this event begin Friday May 25th.

New Members

We will be accepting new members at this event. If you plan to join the club at this event, you may make a reservation at this time by doing the following:

1. Use "0" as the member number (a permanent number will be assigned to you after you join and you will get a temporary number for this event)
2. TYPE "I will be joining the club at this event" in the NOTES section when making you reservation.

The annual membership is $30 and is good for 12 months from the date you join.

If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact me at capitaldriving@yahoo.com .

Cool. Registered. For those that don't know, Toledo has a nice super-high grip concrete surface. It was I think 6 hours last time. Closer than you might think.
