If an opening occurs, the next person by original registration date and time on the waitlist will be notified that there is an opening. From that point on, it will be first-come, first-served for filling the vacancy, so if you want to compete, make sure you monitor your emails.
What is Autocross?
Our "Ladies Only" autocross is non competitive event in which one vehicle at a time is timed for one or more laps on a clearly defined closed course on a hard surface with a defined start and finish line. It will be run in lower gears (typically 2nd & 3rd) with an emphasis on handling and agility rather than speed and power. An autocross is not wheel-to-wheel racing, a time trial or a gymkhana. More than one vehicle can be on the course at the same time as long as vehicles do not run in proximity to each other and workers are not put at risk. There will be timing of each lap with appropriate penalties for course deviations or hit cones in order to show progress in a fun and safe environment.
CCCR Minimum Safety Standards for all Autocross Drivers

The minimum age to participate in an autocross is 18 years old (16 & 17 with signed Parental Waiver).
If you have someone that you wish to accompany you, they must sign the waiver at the gate and sign up on MSR under Volunteer Worker so that for security reasons we know who is on the airport.
Minors 15 years of age and younger
Minors 15 years of age and younger may attend an autocross event as observers only, if the following conditions are met:
- Both parents should sign the "Waiver and Release of Liability and Indemnity Agreement for Minors as Observers Only"; however, one parent /guardian is acceptable. Friends/other relatives are not acceptable.
- Minors cannot be admitted to any "hot" or "restricted areas". This means the only area they are allowed in is the area of vehicle parking. Not grid, not near the track and no other place on the airport property, and they must wear an appropriate wrist band at all times.
- The minor must be under the supervision of a parent or guardian at all times. If a minor is found to be not under direct supervision, you will be asked to leave.
Airport Entry
- Our agreement with the airport does not allow us to enter the track or leave the track from the Jet Center. The only entry/exit is the gate on the north end of South Blosser road. If you are late, you can try calling 805/720-2070, but we will be busy and may not hear your call right away.
- If you ignore this, you may be asked to leave the airport and/or may not be allowed to return to this or future events.
Event requirements
The gate will open at 7:30 a.m. and will be closed promptly at 9:00 a.m. DO NOT ENTER UNTIL YOU HAVE SIGNED THE WAIVER AT THE GATE AND RECEIVED YOUR REGISTRATION PACKET.
We strongly urge you to arrive no later than 8:00 a.m. to be sure you get checked in and through Tech Inspection of your car. Do not walk the course until you have had your car inspected and received a green dot for your windshield.
Make sure you have everything you need, including enough fuel, as the gate will be closed until the conclusion of the event.
After entering the main gate, signing the waiver and receiving your registration packet, find your parking space, prep your car and then take your car to tech inspection.
- Place your colored sticker on your windshield and your colored wristband on your left wrist. (There are instructions on your packet)
- There are no sound requirements, but generally we asked that your car is not over 92db at 75 ft. Infraction of the rules, unsportsmanlike conduct or gross negligence by an entrant and/or any crew or guests may be cause for expulsion from the event.
There will be a dedicated time for lunch. The rotation of the 2 groups is RUN <-> WORK or WORK <-> RUN depending on group. Please get out to your work station without delay so we can get started.
Driver Requirements
- Clothing (Helmet, Shoes, etc.): All vehicle occupants while on course must wear an approved helmet. Helmets built to Snell Foundation standards or other standards such as FIA 8860, SFI 31.1 and BS6658-85 Type A-FR are approved for use. Approved helmets must be manufactured to the current rating or the two prior SA (Sports Auto), M or K Snell ratings. For example, the current Snell standard is 2020 therefore only helmets meeting Snell M,K or SA 2015 and 2020 are acceptable. Any helmet approved for PCA Club Racing is permitted. Footwear must be non-slip and NOT be open-toe or have heavy-duty soles such as those found on hiking shoes or work boots. We recommend a long sleeve cotton shirt, long cotton pants, thin rubber or leather soled shoes without lugs on the sole and cotton socks, but shorts and short sleeve shirts are acceptable.
- We urge all regular competitors to obtain their own helmet; shared rentals are available.
- Check brakes, tire pressure, oil, fuel, etc. before arriving at facility. You are encouraged to run through our tech checklist before you arrive at the track to speed up the tech process. Vehicles with any leaks (oil, coolant, brake, etc.) will be immediately pulled off track.
- All entrants will have work assignments when they are not running. Depending on run sequence, this may include working after your run group has completed for the day. Failure to complete your work assignment could result in omission from the results and possible forfeiture of future events. You must inform the Station Chief or Event Chair if you are unable to complete your work assignment.
- If you are sharing a car with another driver, please let us know when you sign up. This does not sign them up, it merely lets us know, co-drivers need to register seperately.
