SCCA AX, is it me, or do they have a ton of rules Options

[ChrisReale]

Im looking for butt time. I am flirting with the idea of doing SCCA AX but they have so many fucking rules (plus they make you buy a rule book) that it is almost overwhelming. I cant just be in a group and run, I have to fill out a sheet! Is it worth it? PCA AX's are simple, I know what group I run in and thats that. Everyone has a good time. Should I sivvy through the questionaires and do it, or stick with a few PCA events a month betweemn Seattle and Portland?

I want to do more AX, but it really makes it a PITA when i have to sivvy through every little detail to figure it all out. Oh well, gotta do what they say in order to play (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

In my region you are not required to purchase a rule book. Although, if you want to compete seriously, it would definitely be a good idea!

I have this feeling that about half the autocrossers out there are in violation of some rule infringement. Not that I am of course!

I'm competing in my local SCCA club this year and I've never seen a big fuss. Of course, that goes out the window if you progress to regional/national events.

I do some of the local PC AX events. They have two classes: street tires....competition tires. Period. They just want to have some fun, get in some seat time (we do 80+mph AX), and be home by 1:00pm.

AX has "grownup" and I agree with you that it has a lot of friggin' rules. But I guess I have to say, do the paperwork and ENJOY the ride. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

Speakin' of which, I gotta go ta bed.....I got a AX @ 7:00am tomorrow!
