Start time:[/b] 11am – 2pm with lunch provided.

National AutoX Champion Dave Newman has kindly agreed to talk to our members about the fundamentals of AutoX; provide advice on car set up and give a practical demonstration of how to ‘walk and read’ an AutoX course.  Dave’s awesome championship winning Porsche 911 will be on display as well.  This classroom session is sure to be of great interest and very useful to anyone who wants to drive AutoX this year, whether you are a novice yet to compete in your first event, or a seasoned veteran trying to find that elusive 2/10[suP]th[/suP]’s that will take you from 4[suP]th[/suP] to 1[suP]st[/suP] place! Please look at the forum nearer the date for other exciting non-RTR sanctioned follow-up activities at the local go-kart track after our AutoX classroom session

UPDATE 1) IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON ATTENDING THIS CLASSROOM SESSION, PLEASE E-MAIL stevemcmorn@hotmail.com SO WE KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE TO CATER FOR LUNCH

UPDATE 2) This classroom overlaps with DE Tech on Saturday morning but by good luck, both tech and the classroom session will be held in Allentown. If you planning to attend both events, please arrive at Knopf for DE Tech at 9am and we will do our best to prioritise those attending the classroom session.


Sunday May 4[suP]th[/suP] - RTR AutoX Roadshow Event #1[/b]
[/b]2008 Riesentöter AutoX+ Roadshow
Presented by Specialty Cars of Allentown PA 
http://www.specialtycarsservicecenter.com

Where:[/b] Warminster Community Park with the Philadelphia Sports Car Club of America.
Info and directions:[/b] http://www.phillyscca.com/schedule/program_schedule.htm#solo
Start time: Morning session requested – exact time to be confirmed. RTR members will compete against each other in our very own ‘R’ class. For those interested in competing in our ‘Just for Fun’ RTR AutoX+ Roadshow Championship, we will run with a handicapping system (PAX) in an attempt to keep a level playing field between different cars.  The PAX scoring will be based on the Maverick PCA PAX system for Porsches and a modified SCCA PAX for non-Porsches and you will need a PAX factor to be eligible for championship points. In one of our minor tweaks to last years rules, in 2008 championship points will be awarded according to the F1 system: 1[suP]st[/suP]-10, 2[suP]nd[/suP]- 8, 3[suP]rd[/suP]-7 …. all the way down to 2 points for 8[suP]th[/suP] place with all competitors getting 1 point for attending.  The PAX calculation methods will be posted on the forum by Vytenis (“V�?) within the next few weeks If you have any questions on Classing or PAX, please e-mail ‘V’ at RTRAutoX@hotmail.com. Finally, remember to check out the RTR PCA online forum for the most up to date AutoX news and information http://rtr.mywowbb.com/forum3
