About this event
Join us for our fall autocross event for 2023 from Silver Sage Region, Porsche Club of America sponsored by Porsche Boise. Never Autocrossed before? We love first timers and you can register for either day or both. We provide instructors who ride with you to make the experience fun and rewarding. We also provide delivered lunches that you can pre-order at registration time. Note- this is our last Autocross for the year and we want to see you there!
You can read all about Autocross and our Driver's Education (DE) activities by visiting the region website here.
Expect to arrive by 7:30 AM with first car out at 9 AM and the event to wrap up on each day around 4:00 PM. There will be a lunch break.
Event requirements
While all Porsches were engineered to race or drive in a 'spirited manner', this event is open to all makes. Bring that special friend who has a non P-car hiding in the garage. And your friend does not have to be an SSPCA member to participate...invite them to register. They'll be timed same as Porsche cars and can run in the "fun" category. Note- Cars must be street legal.
For Porsche vehicles: We are continuing to use a car classification method adapted from Zone 7. Rules for Autocross are posted here. The rules are updated for 2023. A classification spreadsheet is available here (save the file and open in Excel) for you to get a headstart on completing the process. You should re-classify your car this year using the new spreadsheet. It's really a simple process to classify your car and we encourage all to do so. We also now have an "As delivered" version of the spreadsheet here. It's a good starting point if your car is mostly stock. Use the "Have questions" link on the left side of the menu or the Contact button at the bottom if you have questions on how to complete that process. We give a few prizes out each day and accumulate PAX points for the season for end of year awards.
For non-Porsche cars: Classify your car as FUN. We will collect and post times but no PAX times will be calculated. Also, no end of day or end of year awards are available for cars classed as FUN.
Helmets are required. We may be able to provide loaner helmets for this event. If you would like to drive and need to borrow a helmet, please email Craig Doty and let me know. Don't register yet, until I secure the number of helmets needed.
Otherwise...
You must have an approved helmet to participate. Approvals are the current Snell SA, K, or M approval 2020 or the previous two, 2015, 2010. Other certifications are also allowed such as FIA, SAI, etc. Note that DOT approvals are not allowed (i.e. motorcycle DOT helmets).
Tech inspection will be a self-executed check of the vehicle using this form. Make sure you bring the completed form to the event. Spot checks of items, particularly your helmet will be performed in the paddock.
PCA rules prohibit passengers other than an instructor in the car.
This event has the standard PCA liability insurance and you will be signing the standard PCA waiver at the event.
You will have a work assignment during the day when you are not driving (great opportunity to watch others work their way around the course). Work assignments include corner marshals, starter, timing, and paddock/crowd control. Plan on being there the whole day.
