COM/SCCM NCCC Super Weekend

[1/2mv^2]

I'm looking for more information on the 5/17-5/18 COM/SCCM NCCC Super Weekend NCCC in St. Cloud.

Is the autox on Sunday? What's happening on Saturday, and is it open, or just for club members?

I had a blast at the COM event last year, I'm looking forward to another!

The auto-x is on both days Saturday and Sunday, although last year the track was the same on Sunday except we ran it backwards. The event is open for everybody and the running groups is divided by different types of Corvettes and separate group for MAC members. The cost is usually $45-60 for each day(at least last year) and a discound for signing up for the both days at once.

I don't think that the separate group is for MAC members. MAC has no official connection with NCCC events.

I expect the separate group is for "non-NCCC members" and/or "non-Corvette cars".

Do they follow Met Council classes for this, or does everyone in the non-Vette group run heads-up?

In the past, and I expect they don't have a reason to change, the weekend for NCCC folks consisted of several separate autocrosses. The way the NCCC works is that members travel around to accrue points in large numbers of events. Our own Don Gettinger has amassed points in inpressive numbers of such events.

If I recall, the Super Weekend's usually consist of 4 low-speed events (auto-x) with two runs in each event, totaling 8 runs for the day. The course layout is usually good and uses portions of the track for relatively moderate speeds and combines one of the lots for lower speed, conventional auto-x. Last year I was pushing almost 80 through the timing lights in my stock Civic so it's a bit different than Midway or Hennepin.

Previously all non-NCCC cars run in a separate heat and follow MAC or SCCA classes. Since it's first and foremost an NCCC event, not much emphasis is put on non-Vettes so classing is not a big deal. Typically Saturday & Sunday is open to non-NCCC cars.

Whoa! What were the 'vettes doing through the lights?

Here's a little more info for anyone interested in attending.

8 runs each day
You can attend either or both days
No MetCouncil or MAC points on the line, open to all cars
We'll probably have 35-55 competitors which makes for a nice casual event
You'll be expected to work, as usual
$45 a day at the gate
Registration from about 8-9, maybe as late as 9:30 but... be there by 8 to allow enough time to walk the course (they are generally almost a mile long)
A little faster than a typical Midway course
We usually run the Saturday course backwards on Sunday
