RRRPCA DS #7

EXPO NM

About this event

The Roadrunner Region Porsche Club of America will return to EXPO NM! (State Fairgrounds) for autocross on Saturday, November 9th. 

The cooler weather should make you want to join your friends and give your car some exercise in precision driving around the cones set up on the Midway lot --approximately 4.5 acres with minimal obstructions in a central location, only minutes from I-25 and  I-40 in Albuquerque. 

This event is open to all - you don't need to drive a Porsche to participate!  You also can just come to see what autocross is all about.

Driver registration will be limited.  Priority will be given to Roadrunner PCA members.  You may cancel your registration without penalty until registration ends. Everyone entering the event site must sign a release & waiver form.

Participation Fee:  $60 for PCA members; $70 for non-PCA members. There is no charge for volunteers, non-driving workers, spectators, or photographers.   (But let us know if you're coming to avoid paying $10 to get into the fairgrounds.)  If registration has closed and you want to come, contact the event coordinator. Drivers will not be charged until the event.  There is no charge for canceling until registration closes. However, please let us know if you cancel after the close of on-line registration so someone wait-listed may attend.

Location:  EXPO NM Midway Lot  -- Enter at Gate 3  (San Pedro & Copper).    Midway Lot.pdf

NOTE 1:  There is an Entry/Parking Fee for the Fairgrounds. This will be collected as part of your registration on MSR and parking passes provided for all registrants.  All vehicles entering without a parking pass will be subject to the standard parking fee ($10 per car; cash & card accepted) with no in/out privileges. We must purchase discounted parking passes at least one week prior to the event.  

NOTE 2: RRRPCA competitive classes were changed in 2022 to resemble the 2021 Porsche Parade Competition Rules for "Small Sized Autocross".  Find your Porsche car class here:  2022 RRRPCA Autocross RuleChanges.docx  All Porsches will run in the PCA competitive class or the Open Class (X02).

All non-Porsches will run in either X01 or X02. The Open Class (X02) is for very experienced drivers of Porsche or non-Porsche cars. For details on autocross rules and classes, visit the RRRPCA website (Link). 

Event requirements

You must have a valid drivers license to attend our driving events and be 18 years of age or older unless you are eligible for the Porsche Junior Participation Program. You also must sign our PCA insurance waiver,  and wear a wristband.

Before you can participate in our autocross, your car will need to pass a basic tech inspection. Tech inspection will take place each day before the start of any driving.  Most street cars easily pass the inspection. The owner/driver should do a pre-tech inspection (PCAAutocrossSafetyInspectionChecklistMay2020.pdf)  no earlier than 4 weeks prior to the event.  

Helmets: Snell-rated SA2010, SAH2010, or M2010 or newer helmets are required when driving. Equivalent helmets may be used. Helmets with only DOT may not be used.  We have a few loaner helmets which should be requested before the event to ensure availability.

Closed-toe shoes are also required when driving. Hiking boots, cowboy boots, high heels and flip-flops are a bad idea.

This is a "Run/Work" event.  That means you are required to work a position when you are not driving during the autocross.   We also appreciate any help you can give us before the course walk and during tear-down.
