I thought this topic had gotten so big that it deserved its own thread. I know we are all very excited about an event such as this but I think there are a few large obstacles to overcome. Do we have access to any timing equipment? If we are to do this for anyone other than ourselves, especially if we charge a fee, then we need accurate timing equipment or we wil have annoyed people. What about the cones to mark the course? We need a metric s@#tload of cones to lay out any course and I do not believe our club inventory includes any. Then, of course, is the need for a venue but we have been through that many times.
Now that I have sounded all negative by pointing out our shortcomings, let me offer a suggestion--What if we sponsor an additional stop on the SC SCCA autocross circuit? Maybe we could get them to have a special SVT class just for us where we could compete against each other in the club. In otherwords, we attend an SCCA event, sponsor others and have our own private intraclub points race running concomitantly. I know this isn't the ideal solution but it is a feasible alternative.
