TCOC Events Calendar
The first Saturday of each month is BBC Breakfast at Olympic Restaurant Breakfast, which is where some of us we head over to Colfax, arriving around 8:00am to kick a few tyres (if it is warm enough), and then head in for breakfast.
So, if you are able to sneak out of the house before the weekend’s Honey Do List is announced, please join us this coming Saturday for breakfast at BBC Breakfast at Olympic Restaurant, which is at 8900 W Market St, Colfax, NC.

Your car must successfully complete a safety inspection and each driver must sign a liability waiver. Inspection sessions are being planned in the hotel parking lot. Inspections other than during these two sessions will be on an emergency basis only or as a re-inspection of a previously failed car. Following are a few of the most commonly overlooked items:
Battery tie down
Wheel bearings loose
Hubcaps and wheel rings (remove)
Loose items anywhere including the boot (trunk)
Safe floor mats (subjective…it’s easier to remove them)
SCCA requires SNELL rated helmets (loaners will be available)

The autocross will take place in the Remmington Park parking lot in north OKC . The event will begin with a drivers meeting at 9:00am.

We will adhere as closely as possible to the VTR Autocross Rules and classes will be assigned as defined in those rules. Please verify your assigned class and status at the time that you pick up your registration information. There will be a sign-up sheet available.
The course will be set-up and facilitated by local SCCA members. There will be two heats with the classes equally divided between the two. We will attempt to complete a minimum of three runs per class. Participants will be expected to serve as corner workers after they complete their runs.
