Grenada Autocross School and Points Event
April 5 and 6, 2008
Grenada Municipal Airport, Grenada MS

Our annual autocross school is on Saturday, April 5 this year, followed by an autocross points event on Sunday. Once again we're glad to have 14-time National Champion John Thomas as our lead instructor ("scheduled to appear"). The format will be a classroom session in the morning followed by lots and lots of seat time. You'll receive in-car instruction from some of the Mississippi Region's fastest and finest.

Pre-register online here

Cost:
Saturday autocross school: $35 (pre-registered), $50 (day of event)
Sunday autocross: $25 (or $20 if paid when you pre-register for the school)
 

Important note about SCCA membership:
For 2008, SCCA membership is required for events. SCCA allows you to become a "weekend member" for $15, but in almost all cases it is to your advantage to become a full Mississippi Region member since we give you a free autocross when you do so.

If you are not currently an SCCA member and you want to attend the school, you have three options:

1. Become a member online and bring proof of new (Mississippi Region) membership to the event. You'll get Sunday's autocross for free, so you only need to register for the school at a cost of $35. Your total cost for the weekend will be $110 ($60 national dues + $15 regional dues + $35 school fee + $0 for Sunday's autocross). If you qualify for a First Gear or Military membership, you'll save even more.
2. Become a SCCA member (Mississippi Region) at the event. The above cost schedule applies.
3. Buy a weekend membership at the event at a cost of $15. No free event offer applies.
   

That doesn't cover every possible scenario, so if you have any questions please contact our region or post here.

Well that was reasonably painless.  Certainly more efficient than paying at the event.

Agreed, although there were a few random re-directs to the homepage after logging in. Minor detail though.  Glad to see we're going to have a huge turn-out (thus far, it is two...) Can't wait to see JT again this year!

registered and $55 poorer.

Hey ya'll congrats the award for Mississippi region in the sports car magazine.   Best recuiting for small region    Or something like that.

Want to go faster, please send money.

I am going to be there. I'll have to preregister in a few weeks. I'll have to do the 1 day pass as I don't have enough money for a full membership right now.

I wanted to point out a good resource for those attending the school, particularly as first-timers. The Tire Rack Solo Novice Handbook has some very good information about what to expect at an autocross event.

There are still many spots available for the school, but I'll guarantee that it'll fill up before the deadline (it did last year), and once the pre-reg spots are gone, only day-of-event registration is left (and it's almost 50% more than pre-registering).

You could always be a cone instead.  I'll "promise" not to hit you.

Thanks.  I tried really hard.  Bell knows we all love him, or at least tolerate him. :)

I can neither confirm, nor deny, such accusations.

Aw man, don't tell us you took advantage of him at this point, we really don't want to know about it.

Yeah, and then you could build an XP car that doesn't run for years at a time.

easy Brian, did u find me any wheels?  Joe...I have to wait for my son to come home from college to change my a.  Way beyond my computer skills.

Naw, I hadn't looked for a little while. I think the ones you have are very expensive and you could probably sell them for a pretty penny. I'll see if I can find a good size and offset for a good price.
