EVENT FLYER
Our yearly
event is just around the corner and to help
ensure it will be a success, we are hosting
an
NCCC Event Training / Practice Autocross
at the General Motors Assembly Plant in
Arlington, TX.
So come out and
learn / see how timing works, how
to inspect a Corvette for
competition, how work a corner, etc. Also
come out and
learn how your Corvette handles, regardless if you
want to race or not - this is an opportunity to
play in your Vette, in a safe environment.
Note: This event is
a non-sanctioned
NCCC
Event
This event is for EVERYONE so come out and have
FUN. If you haven't attended one of

assist and ride with you. If you prefer,
you can even start off by riding with an
experienced
NCCC competitor in their car.
Thanks,
Rick Watson

•
Helmets
are required for all drivers and passengers - refer
to your NCCC book or contact me if you have
questions on your helmet. You should be able
to borrow one if you don't have one. A legal
helmet (Snell 2005/2010) start at around $80 at
minimum
motorcycle shops or check or check our website for
other options.
•
FRS Radios if you have
them
•
Sun Screen
•
Painters Tape / Contact Shelf Paper
- some people like to mask off the edge of
their wheel wells and rocker panels. They do
supposedly vacuum this facility but we have found
that sometimes gravel does exist. We will do
our best to layout the course to avoid as much as
possible.
•
Leaf Blower - these are
handy if we do have an area with gravel, it can be
blown off instead of having to sweep it off.
