of Events
Driver Training
A novice training program for drivers of all skill levels wanting to
improve their car control skills for everyday driving and/or
competition. Two nights of classroom instruction followed by a full-day
of supervised practice and in-car instruction. Upon completing the
program, drivers are eligible to apply for a novice racing license with
CACC and/or ICSCC.
Autocross
Also known as autoslalom or Solo II. Drivers take turns navigating a
course marked by pylons as quickly as possible without displacing any
pylons. A fun and legal way for drivers to test their car control
skills. The Solo II rulebook can be downloaded from the SCCA website.
Island Autocross
Championship Series (IACS)
A series of autocross championship events held jointly by several island
clubs including VMSC. Please see the IACS
website for details.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Who can drive in
the events?
Anyone with a valid Class 5 BC driver's license (or equivalent) may
drive in our events. Drivers holding a novice (Class 7) license are
allowed to run but will have their driving more closely monitored.
Events are open to both
members and non-members, and first-timers are always welcome.
What do I need to
run an event?
The essentials are:
- Car
- Helmet (minimum Snell
M2000 or SA2000 standard)
- Entry fee: $30
for club members (bring your club card) and $40 for
non-members
There are additional items
you could bring to make the day more comfortable. The Solo
2 Novice Handbook from SCCA has a few suggestions on what to bring.
What kind of car do
I need to run?
Any car which meets the CACC
Solo II requirements can be driven at our events. In brief, the
rulebook allows any roadworthy or raceworthy vehicle with 4 wheels to
run. Unfortunately, the rulebook currently excludes go-karts. All
vehicles must pass technical inspection at the event.
Can I rent a car at
an event?
The club has a race-prepped Ford Pinto available for rent. Our club car
is currently available for rent for all events. To rent the club
car please email the competition director one week prior to the event to
arrange for it to be at the event.
Can I borrow a
helmet?
The club currently does not have any loaner helmets, but fellow drivers
at the event are usually quite willing to lend out theirs. We encourage
drivers to bring their own equipment whenever possible. Snell M2000+
(motorcycle) helmets meet our safety requirements and are fairly
inexpensive to purchase.
How do I get
started?
Just show up at one of our events and we will be happy to help you get
started.
