Our first events are fast approaching and I don't even have my car out of storage yet (headless chicken dance)! Luckily, I don't have a lot that I need to do... just some quirks left to work out after the auto to manual swap. And, since it's not trailered, reliable headlights would be nice too. Our MCSCC Drivers School is April 19. Please consider volunteering to staff the event and help us make a great first impression. It would also be the perfect opportunity to check out the new improvements at Blackhawk! Reminder to students:
Your membership should have been in by April 5
Licensing paperwork & fees due by April 11
Registration & payment also due April 11
Mandatory classroom session April 18
On-track instruction April 19
Links for appropriate registration & materials are to the right.
Our first Competition event is May 3rd & 4th at Autobahn Country Club, south track. Online registration is open & myautoevents links are to the right. You can also click the poster image to view/download/print event information and paper registration.
TIP: Visit Autobahn's website for discounts on local hotels!
Until we race again,

We have a few vacant positions in need of dedicated members. It is important to our organization that all open positions be filled so that our events can be run as smoothly as possible. If you can help, please email racestaff@mcscc.org to volunteer. Thanks!
HSAX Starters: We would like to have a team of starters in place for HSAX events. Starters who are also HSAX participants are still able to race and will receive priority access to the track for scheduled Practice Sessions and Timed Runs.
Chief of Impound: An ideal candidate is a member but not an active race or AX driver.
