  • Alabama scca test n tune weekend

    The Alabama region of SCCA will be hosting its Test n Tune weekend on February 25th and 26th.

    The event will be held at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Pelham, Alabama. Saturday the 25th will be open to anyone wanting to run their car. (No points will be awarded as this is not part of the 2012 Championship season. We will have the timing equipment running, however no re-runs will be granted if the equipment fails during your run. This is as much a Test n Tune for running event equipment as it is for running your car.)

    Saturday's event will be run just like a normal points event. We will have run groups and work groups. We will make every effort to run the cars as many times as we possibly can giving you the most tune time as possible. You will be expected to work a corner station if you run your car. The price for this event will be our normal event price, $30 for members and $40 for Non-members. No special pricing for first time entrants. Gates will open at 7:30 am for tech inspection and registration. Inspection and Registration will end at 9:00 am. Drivers meeting at 9:15, first car off at 9:30 am.

    Sunday's event will be a limited invitation event. Drivers for this event will not have to work as we will be providing the corner workers for this event. We will limit this day to 30 drivers. Cost will be $80.00. This will be maximum running time and tuning time. Equipment will be set up for timing. Gates will open 7:30 and we will plan to have first car off at 9:00 am as there will not be as many people to deal with tech and registration.

    If you have any questions please let me know. At this point we are updating Axware. This event will be available for online registration soon.

      Yes John "jumping the gun because I can't" Waight, tech Inspection will include the 2012 Annual Inspection for Solo vehicles whose driver has participated in two years of events with ALSCCA or TVR.

      Rules as stated in Supps for yearly tech:

      12. Annual Tech:
      Annual Tech will be offered by the Alabama Region for
      competitors meeting the following requirements:
      a) Current Alabama Region SCCA Member
      b) Minimum of two years competition experience
      c) Permanent numbers and class letters displayed on vehicle
      in accordance with Solo rulebook requirements
      d) Vehicles having passed the Annual Tech procedure
      are subject to random “spotchecks” at the discretion of
      the Tech Chief. This is to ensure that the competitors are
      meeting all Technical Inspection requirements after the initial
      inspection. In addition, any vehicle with an annual tech
      certification that experiences a mechanical failure during
      competition is subject to a second annual tech inspection.

      You have to specifically state that you are in need of a yearly tech so that we can get your sticker to you.

              In case I didn't make my self clear put me down for a spot on Sunday. Great job John and Mark on putting this together! It may be a little ambitious but we are going to try and cord a set of fairly new 225 RS-3s.

                  Can you define "Sunday's event will be a limited invitation event." a little more fully please? I'd like to attend that day, but am unsure how to make that happen, or if it is even possible. Thanks.

                    I can help your ambitions Darryl. If you want to cord some tires, I'll swap my RS3s for yours.

                      Yes, this was brought up on several boards that we posted on, and is one of those times when writing something and thinking something in your head don't work out.

                      We were approached at the Barber Motorsports Park Autocross by several people to hold an event like this. People enjoyed being able to run their car, tune on it, then get back out and run again, with out having run groups or worry about working a corner. That lead to this years TnT weekend. We set aside 10 or 12 Invitation spots to those people that we knew were interested because they had said they would attend, then we kept a few more spots open for those people that are attending the Dixie National Tour, and then a few more spots for those people that would want to attend this event, but we didn't know in advance.

                      So that lead to our number of 30 drivers. If you are interested in coming to this Sunday event, but have not been contacted by Mark or I to confirm your invitation, please contact us and let us know. We still have slots open for Sunday, and would welcome anyone that wants to take part.

                      Thanks,

                      John K

                          Just to let it be known, I will be there for the Sunday TnT. It was an awesome set up at Barbers last year and will be more awesomer at Verizon.

                            w8, did you ever make a grid layout of the new lot without all the circus equipment setup?

                            Because they heard I liked my name, so they put my name as my name so I could have my name in my name... all the time.
