We take over the Minnesota State Fairgrounds July 22-24 for a three-day celebration of everything automotive. Hundreds of gallons of race gas are burned, millions of calories of fairground food are devoured, and in spite of an ice-cold economy, we will all have a blast.

AutoX

The LOL region SCCA will be running the auto-x and launch box events. The auto-x gets bigger and bigger each year and we expect to see even more participants this year. Volunteers are needed for both the auto-x and launch box. Many of you have helped in the past. If you want to see cool cars in action, rather than sitting by the curb, this is a great way. Below is a schedule and positions for volunteers:

Friday July 22nd
9:00am - 11:00am course design and set up
11:00am - 5:00pm auto-x and launch box (30 minute break for lunch)

Saturday July 23rd
11:00am - 4:00pm auto-x and launch box (30 minute break for lunch)

Sunday July 24th
9:30am - 12:30pm auto-x and launch box
12:30pm - 1:30pm clean up

Positions:
Tech Inspection - inspect cars for safety (there are no performance rules!)
Cone Marshal - run for hit cones and place them back
Starter - waves cars to the start line
Timing and Scoring - run the timing system for the auto-x
Launch Box - run the radar gun system for the launch box

When we are done each day, you're able to stay on grounds to see the show.
Volunteers are encouraged to bring out a car and make use of the auto-x course!

I might go... powercruise is a bit too expensive for me to go, and I don't want to camp in the billion degree heat =[

Anyone else going to Car Craft?

 

I'm still mad working on my car to get it done in time for CnC. I'm guessing we are a no to this
