BSCC Ladies Only Autocross, October 24

Ladies - here is your chance to experience time on the track first hand in a low-pressure, high-fun environment. Bremerton Sports Car Club (BSCC) is proud to bring you it’s women’s only autocross practice day on October 24 at Bremerton Motorsport Park. We have designed a day at the track with women in mind. Never been out before? Well this is the perfect opportunity. We will have all female instructors to guide you through the day and teach you the ins and outs of autocross. This particular event is not a competition, just a fun time in your car. Not only will you get better on the track with each run, you will also increase your skills for daily driving on the street and become a better, safer driver for it. No longer a novice? Well don’t worry; we will be getting a ton of track time in while the guys work the course.

What is autocross? Autocross is a low to medium speed driving skill contest. Each car is separately timed over a clearly defined forward moving course of slaloms, braking maneuvers, and obstacle avoidance. Primary emphasis is placed on driver skill along with car handling and maneuverability rather than raw power or straight-line performance. Speeds should not exceed typical highway speeds. Events occur on an unobstructed expanse of open pavement with orange safety cones defining the course. The low speed and “single car on course” aspects of the sport create a high level of safety for both car and driver.

Guys, we need you too!! Want some free runs? Come out and help. We will need you to work course, help with set-up, timing and grid so we can get lots of practice. In return you’ll get free runs at lunch and the end of the day and the chance to watch women rocking it out there on the course. Been trying to get your girlfriend, wife, sister, daughter, mother, grandma, the girl at the coffee stand to join you at the track or more into cars? – this is the perfect introduction to autocross for them. Talk to all the women in your life and invite them out. You never know, they might get hooked!
