Driver Eligibility
The 2007 Autocross Series is open to BMW CCA members only.
Please do not attempt to enter the Boston Chapter Autocross Series unless you are
eligible.
You are required to join BMW CCA before registering for the event. BMW CCA
membership is $40 per year. You don't have to own a BMW to be a member of the BMW
CCA.
Warning: We will be very carefully checking BMW CCA membership cards
at the gate. Remember to bring your BMW CCA membership card to every event.
Drivers who do not show up for events, who don't pay, or who don't follow the rules
may be banned from the Autocross Series.
Drivers must hold a valid drivers license and be 16 years of age or older.
If you are 16 or 17 you will need to have your parents or guardians sign the "minor
waiver" form in order to participate in this low-speed, non-racetrack event. We
strongly encourage parents of minor drivers to attend these events.
Multiple drivers of a car are allowed, as long as each driver is registered separately.
Registrants will be limited to one entry per person, unless there is room at the
close of registration. If there is room, one driver may enter multiple cars, as
long as each car is registered separately.
Event Registration
There have been many registration changes for 2007, so please read these instructions
carefully.
The Boston Chapter Autocross Series is comprised of eight timed autocross events
for the season's championship, and a Test and Tune Day.
As a review, here is the sequence for registering a BMW on-line:
- Open the 2007 Model Grid and find your car’ base points.
- Download the IMF, enter your car’s base points at the top, then carefully declare
any modifications made and enter the appropriate point values.
- Total all point, base pts and modifications pts, to find which class your car
is in from the 2007 Autocross Classes schedule and complete the registration process
on line for your car in that class.
- Bring the completed IMF form to your first event. Your car will be teched and
given an annual tech sticker if it passes.
Novice or casual autocrossers do not need to bring their IMF form to any event,
but need to follow the other steps shown. Note that their times will not count and
they will be required to have a tech inspection each event.Non BMW driver should
follow the classification process on the Classes, Points and Trophies page (link
below). A further resource is available in another link on that page SCCA Solo II
Class Reference.

All events require pre-registration with strict registration periods and payment in advance for each event.
Participation in each autocross event requires a payment of $35. There will be no refunds under any circumstances.
You are not fully registered for an event until you have paid for the event. Registration remains open until about 5
days before the event is run. However, we typically sell out events weeks in advance.
If you make changes to your car during the season that causes your class to change, or you want to switch cars during
the season, you must register again and be assigned a new number and class.
To edit or cancel your registration, please go to the
My Events page of My Boston Chapter.
No-Show Policy
No-showing is very unfair to your fellow autocrossers, since we frequently sell out and have a cap for number of participants. You
will be preventing somebody from attending by no-showing. It also causes
further delays on the day of event, recalculating worker assignments and run groups. Please don’t be "that guy".
If you cannot attend an event, you must notify the AutoCross Registrar at least 5 days before the event. If you register
for an event, then not show up without informing the Autocross Registrar at least
5 days in advance, you are considered a no-show and your name is placed on
the Red List.
Two appearances on the Red List will result in a ban of four Boston
Chapter Autocross events. The ban will extend into the next season if needed.
Event Payment
The Boston Chapter has chosen PayPal
for payments for the Autocross Series. People find that PayPal is easy to use, free,
and secure. You can pay using a bank account or your credit card. PayPal no longer
requires that you create a PayPal account. You can just pay with your credit card
and be done with it.
The entry fee for each car/driver is $35. The Autocross Registrar will send you
a "payment request" email after you have been accepted to the event. You are not
completely registered until you have paid.
The "payment request" email will contain a link which will bring you back to the
Boston Chapter web site, where you will see a "pay now" button.
After clicking on "pay now", you will be sent to the PayPal web site. You can login to your existing PayPal account
or create a new account. After you complete the automated payment process, you are
marked as paid. In the unlikely event you can't use PayPal for payment, please contact
the Autocross Registrar at AutoCross Registrar.
There will be no refunds under any circumstances.
