Does anyone know why there aren't any more GGC (golden gate chapter) autocrosses?


At least i can't find any on the calender...

They're having problems finding organizers for the autocross program. If you're interested in stepping up to help run the program, let me know and I can put you in touch with the appropriate people.

What's involved in organizing and running these events?

Here's a snippet from an email I received:

---------------------------------------
There are several areas where assistance is needed:

1. Site coordinator - someone to make contact with site managers, find out what hoops need to be jumped through, and then get the club jumping through them. I have a list of potential sites (won't waste space here).

2. Admin work - someone to order the insurance, pay the rental fees, sign the use permits/contracts, order lunches, and probably much more.

3. Registration - while probably 75% of registration happens through the GGC web site, someone needs to assign run groups and work assignments prior to the event.

4. Truck/trailer duty - getting the truck and trailer from storage in Richmond, driving to the event, arriving early, and parking the trailer in the right spot. After the event, reverse the procedure. Fortunately, a 3 series car fits inside the trailer so that you can have your car there too. This is a physical task and requires that you demonstrate for the club's Driving Events Coordinator that you can handle it properly.
