With the beginning of the season starting on Sunday 3/7/2010 we will be having our annual technical inspection and cleaning out of the trailer on Saturday, February 20th, 2010 beginning at noon. It might be cold, but you can keep warm by helping clean out the trailer or have fun discussions in Bruce's shop. This is also a good way to get questions answered before the start of the season or find out if you need to take care of something before the autocross season begins.
The fun starts at noon at Unique Automotive on Saturday, February 20th, 2010.
The Kentucky Region Drivers' School will be held Saturday, April 10th and is easily the best bang for the buck that our region has to offer in terms of seat time, instruction, and experience. This year's school will be held at Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium on the Saturday prior to our April 11th, Points Event #1. The cost for the school is $75 for KYR Members and Associate Members, and will be $85 for non-members Please note that this fee includes your entry fee for the following day's points event. It also includes your lunch for the day on Saturday and will net you dozens of runs - solo, with instructors riding, and with instructors driving. Basically you can cram a season's worth of seat time into one day, focusing on some of the key elements that are common to a majority of autocross courses.
Please make note of the following important registration information: There will be no online or walk-up registration for the drivers' school. In order to register you must mail a check made out to KYSCCA to the address listed below to reserve your spot. Registration for this school will be capped at 40 drivers in order to keep the student to instructor ratio ideal. A running tally of those who have been registered is being updated on the KYR website.
KYSCCA c/o Mike Spence 4 Oak Tree Lane Louisville, KY 40245-5041
PLEASE, include information about your experience level in autocrossing, the type of car you drive and contact information. This will let us match you with the appropriate instructor and allow us to contact you in the event of any unforeseen problems or changes occur.
Once registered, you'll need to show up the morning of the school at Papa Johns (directions available at kyscca.com) no later than 8am. There will be a brief meeting with the instructors and event chair to break the students down into groups - one more oriented towards beginners and one for those who have more than a season's worth of experience. Once we go over the format for the day, we will split up and each group will work with its instructors one-on-one for the majority of the morning. After lunch, the format will become more loose and the students will make more solo runs and may have the opportunity to run on the other groups' course.
All students are to provide their own vehicles for the school in ready-to-run trim. No co-driven cars will be allowed. We will be able to perform a tech inspection on cars of those who have not run with us in the past. Loaner helmets will be available, but students are encouraged to bring their own if they have one. This region has a wealth of experienced and fast drivers that are also skilled, patient teachers - this event is our opportunity to help each other improve, have fun, and get faster.
Below are folks that have signed up for the school.

The sound limit for Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium is 92 dB at the curb. If you show up knowing you are over, your runs will be DNS and refunds will not be given. If you are unsure or are close to the limit, etc. we will review the sound levels and help you get levels at or below the acceptable limit.
