Event Policies and Procedures
Driver Elibility
To satisfy IRS rules we require that all applicants be current BMW CCA members. You don’t need to own a BMW to be part of the club and participate in our Driving Events! We offer a huge variety of events to our community all across the country, making club membership a rewarding and worthwhile experience.
1 If you are not a member you can apply at the the BMW CCA website and then return to this page and enter your new membership number. The BMW CCA website will provide your membership number immediately with your enrollment.
2 Drivers must hold a valid driver’s license and be 16 years of age or older. If you are 16 or 17 you will need to have your parents or guardians sign the “minor waiver” form in order to participate in this low-speed, non-racetrack event. We strongly encourage parents of minor drivers to attend these events.
Up to two drivers of a single car are allowed, as long as each driver is registered separately.
Registration will be limited to one entry per person, unless there is room at the close of registration. If there is room, one driver may enter multiple cars, as long as each car is registered separately.
Event Payment
All payments are handled through your Motorsportreg.com account. Payments are processed upon close of registration. Credit will be issued if you cancel prior to registration closing. Credit is good for that one calendar year. If you cancel AFTER the close of registration, or you do not show up, no refund or credit will be given.
The charge for each regular season Autocross event is $60 and Novice Schools are $95. Payments are processed through your Motorsportreg.com account.
isitor Policy
Visitors are always welcome at our events! Visitors must pre-register, and sign the e-waiver. If you are planning on attending an autocross event, please drop an email to the Autocross Registrar, and ask to be placed on the guest list.
If you are planning on visiting, you will need to check in at the gate and sign the appropriate waivers. You will be instructed by the gate worker on where to park your vehicle and where you are allowed to view the event. Please be aware that guests are not allowed on course, you must stand well off of the runways, and you must never cross an active autocross course. Be very attentive to cars that are running. If you are unsure where you can safely spectate from, please ask. If you are planning on taking photographs, you must check-in with the Autocross Coordinators when you arrive. Photographers are not allowed past the grid area without explicit permission from the Event Coordinators and compliance with strict safety rules.
Car passengers are permitted on the course as long as they are 16 or older and are wearing an approved helmet. No backseat passengers are allowed. Dogs must be on leashes at all times.
Cancellation/No-Show Policy
If you are unable to attend an event, please cancel your registration on Motorsportreg.com at least 5 days in advance so that we can give that spot to someone on the waiting list. If you are unable to give 5 days’ notice due to an illness or emergency, please email the Event Organizers. We reserve the right to suspend participation of drivers who habitually no-show or fail to pay.
Event Format
We continue to strive to have a new course every event. Drivers’ meeting will be between 7:30 and 8:00 AM and the time can vary depending on whether we are going to walk the course first or have the meeting first. Get to the event no later than 7:30 AM. If you miss the Drivers’ meeting, you will not be allowed to run for the day.
We will be running two run groups, where one works, while the other runs. You will run or work, then swap, then we will break for a half-hour lunch break, then repeat the morning schedule (run and work).
Sound Restrictions
We must adhere to stringent sound restrictions at Moore Airfield. The rules require that cars are no louder than 8dBA over ambient sound readings. Additionally, cars must be quieter than 87 dBA from 75 feet away while at full throttle on course. Sound measurements are taken for all cars at every event. We will be using a sound meter at multiple locations each event and each run group. The determination of whether a car is excessively loud is based on these measurements as well as at the discretion of the Autocross Chair and Tech Chief. If your car exceeds the sound limitations, the car will not be able to be driven again that day. You will be required to make a physical change to the car to make it quieter before returning at a later event. You may switch to a different car that day to finish your runs. Please do everything in your power to make sure your cars are quiet before showing up to an event.
Work Policy
We run in two run groups, while one works, the other runs. You will run or work, then swap, then we will break for a half-hour lunch break, then repeat the morning schedule (run and work). You are required to work both in the morning and in the afternoon.
Attentive course workers are the key to a well-run event. While working on the course, there is no cell-phone use, sitting, taking pictures or chatting in groups. Safety first is critical. Be alert at all time and never turn your back to cars.
If you have physical needs that prevent you from performing certain assignments or need to leave the event early, please email the Autocross Coordinators at least 5 days before the event so that we can try to accommodate your request.
Anyone who does not report for their work assignment on time, or doesn’t report at all, will be disqualified from the event. Missing work assignments is a serious offense. The event coordinators have to find someone else to work, and no cars can run until the course is fully staffed. Habitual offenders may be suspended from participating.
