    Novice Championship Tour #1/VCMC Series #1

    Ladies and Gentlemen, get ready for the first installment of our Novice Championship Tour and VCMC Series for 2011!

    For those not familiar, NCT is a series designed for those new to the sport and provides a great avenue for friendly competition. While entry to the event is open to all drivers, only those having participated in 3 or less Solo2 events* prior to January 1, 2011 may be eligible for points/prizes in the NCT Series. If you are new to the sport of autocross, and are looking to prepare for competitive driving, consider signing up for VCMC's exclusive high performance driving school, Velocity.

    *Include ALL Solo2 events that require a CACC event permit, such as closed club events, regional events, test and tune and driving schools. If you are unsure please ask!

    VCMC Series is what the intermediate and senior drivers look forward to! Think you're fast? Register in the OPAX class to go up against the best talent VCMC has to offer.

    Please take a moment to review the information pages (including details of the great prizes up for grabs!) and supplemental regulations for the NCT and VCMC Series.

    *Please note* Work Assignment Preference

    You will notice in the Karelo registration form two additional drop-down fields - first and second choice for work assignment preferences. This is to help improve our event operations planning and efficiency. The choices, typical available positions, time commitment and descriptions are as follows:

    No Preference/Volunteer Position

    You do not have a preference or have signed up for a volunteer position on the forum. We will automatically assign you in a manner that is most optimal for the event.

    Course Duty

    4 x number of work stations per work heat
    Entire work heat
    Cone-catching, red flag waving, radio duties at a course worker station each work heat. Watch the runs from a spectacular view.

    Tech Inspection

    3 - First shift with one person, second shift with two people
    30 - 40 minutes
    Very popular choice
    An early morning duty that ensure all competing vehicles meet our minimum tech safety requirements. This is typically 30 - 40 minutes per shift and the inspectors must be punctual and diligent. Having some mechanical knowledge an asset.

    Timing Operations

    4 per work heat
    Entire work heat
    Stay in a sheltered area while contributing to a critical aspect of the event
    Barcode scanner, start light operator, timing equipment operators. You will work with the Chief of Timing to ensure the event runs smoothly and accurately during your work heat. Training provided if necessary.

    Waivers Sign-up/Front Gate Duty

    2 single-person shifts in the morning, 1 per work heat
    1 hour per morning shift, or entire work heat
    This helps satisfy the legal requirements of running our event by ensuring all event participants and spectators read, understand and sign to acknowledge our waiver form and have a wristband as proof. This is either an early morning duty for participants arriving on-site or during your work heat. Please note that any Minors on site (those under the age of 18) MUST sign the Minor Waiver at each event and a Parent must sign the Annual Parental Consent Waiver for the first event only. If you are not sure if the Annual Parental Consent Waiver has been signed or not, PLEASE have a parent sign as well as the minor.

    Event Day Setup/Teardown

    6 - 10 people
    20 - 30 minutes before and after event
    Help pack and unpack our equipment at the start and end of the event day. This is typically 20-30 minutes before and after the event depending on the number of workers.

    Course Setup (day before event)

    2 - 4 people
    ~2 hours day before event
    Help layout the course prior to event day. Must be available the day before. This is typically after 5pm on a Saturday for a couple hours.

    We will be assigning roles based on preference where possible but in order to maintain event operations efficiency we unfortunately cannot guarantee any preferences. You can help everyone out by picking typically 'less' popular assignments or choosing 'No Preference'!
