On Saturday and Sunday, October 24th & 25th, 2009, the Palm Springs Corvette Club, and

our sponsor, Jessup Chevrolet, will host our Fall Classic Autocross Challenge

at the Riverside County Fairgrounds in Indio, California. This fun event will raise money for

the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Springs & Cathedral City. (See CHARITY link, above).

Our Event will run from 10am to 5pm both days. Registration begins at 8:30 am.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

They supply helmets, all you need to bring is your registration and Insurance.

This will be my 4th time going to this event its awesome. Lots of different cars go.

 

Wow, twice in the same year. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Do you know how much it costs? How long you get to run? How big the track will be, etc? Thanks!

 

right on my bday woooooot!

 

I had a good time at the one they had in March. It's run pretty well. My times weren't great but my tires were 2 weeks old and not broken in... or at least that's my excuse. Don't come late cuz they close the entries a couple hours before they actually close it down. A lot of vett's since the local vett club runs it. The course is part of the Indio Date grounds area where the Date Festival is held. it's probably the size of 3 football fields or so.

I probably won't be able to make this one since I'll be out of town most the weekend. If you haven't tried it this is a good chance.

 

I can't remember but it's like $20 a run or something. You get a little discount for buying multiple runs.

The runs are pretty quick. I'd say less than 1:30 mins....of course, give or take.

It's in a pretty good size parking lot.

Oh, don't forget your driver's license and insurance. And, money.

 

awesome!!!! I am so there! How long do you have between runs to adjust your car.

 

It was $20 for 3 runs / $8 for a single run in March, I'm guessing its going to be the same in October. As far as size, run last about 40 to 60sec depending how fast you are

if you're going to go get there early, it gets packed quick


After you run you can either park it and work on your car or get back in line, up to you. When its packed wait time is like 30mins+ per run.

 

It's coming soon.

 

I got that weekend off and I'll be there for sure!

 

 

Get there early. I think last time they started turning cars away at around 2-3 even tho it didn't end till 5.

 

Yeah, I was one of them.

 

2 days

 

I'll be there on Saturday morning!

 

I'll be there Sunday AM.

 

Finally made it to one of these events. Auto-X is definitely different than in the canyons or the track. I've never oversteered so much in my life. LOL

For those of who went, what was your best time? Mine was 53.416.
