First time? Register in Novice.

Otherwise, a fully stock 350Z (no changes at all) would run in S2 with a BS index. Stock-class modifications allow: shock changes (but not springs), front sway bar, tires (whatever fit on the OEM-size -- for your car -- wheels), all fluids (but no race gas), filters, cat-back (no header changes).

You're registered for the ProSolo, which will be on Saturday. Look me up -- ProSolo is kind of, um, "challenging" because it is a different format than your regular Solo event.

To register for the autocross on Sunday, you'll need to go to http://www.autocrossscorekeeper.com/register/nwrscca/.

And yes, you'll pay there.

You can also check here to ensure you're signed up;
http://scorekeeper.wwscc.org/registe...viewentries/1/

it shows everyone who's signed up


***I think you should sign up in T (Street Tire w/ the BS index) - I assume you won't be running R-compound tires...the T class allows all cars to run street tires and have their times indexed based on what class they would normally run.***

i cant make it there on sunday, are you already signed up? are you (pdx_racer) the the 05 yellow z on there?

i've never been to any autocross type event, so i won't pick up on any kind of difference from a regular solo. i just know that u run against another car in prosolo and u go by urself in regular solo. to be honest, i don't think that will be much of a difference for me, i'm not going there to compete cause being my first time, i know i'm not gonna be all that great. just going to have some fun. i hear the drive down is pretty intresting as well...

I agree with first350 -- change to T class.

Create a new car with the same number but different class, then change cars.

+1 The online system stores the Car and class together...the only way to change classes is to create a new car.

Just remember -- Hwy 123 isn't open yet, and Skate Creek Rd. may still be closed as well.

So, Hwy 7 to Morton, then east on Hwy 12 to Packwood.

Wierd, I get one forecast from the link, and another (warmer) forecast from a search on Weather.com.

Weather.com Packwood, WA weekend forecast

(Edit: The previous link *really* looks like the forecast for White Pass, more than it is for Packwood itself -- however Packwood IS at 1051 feet...)

La Grande to Alder is one of the best roads for fun. I grew up in Alder as a child and remember "bicycling" my parents Datsun B-210 in several of the corners. It's about a 3 min. hold your breath sprint.

PDX_Racer - do you know if the ProSolo requires a full SCCA membership to run? Or can ppl just buy the weekend memberships like normal regional SCCA events?? (I'm a member...but I thought read some discussion about that)

edit: checked the NWR site, and weekend memberships are available for the ProSolo...maybe it's just for the ProSolo Tour events??
