Our first event is April 17th at the Poletown Plant, preceded on Saturday by the autocross school and test & tune on April 16th. Saturday is free for members, and you will receive alot of seat time to shake off the winter rust, so please plan to attend. Experienced drivers will be called upon to instruct for new drivers. If you are a new member or will be new to CCM competition this year, please plan on coming to our New Member Orientation on THURSDAY April 14th (this is changed recently from Friday) at Les Stanford Chevrolet. Among other aspects of CCM, I will be giving an overview of the CCM competition program.

I will send a notice when it opens. Please remember that the helmet requirement is updating to Snell 2005 minimum this year. You are also allowed to use a 2000 if the helmet shows a date of manufacture sticker within the last ten years. I recently purchased a new helmet from saferacer.com, which had free shipping and also a 10% off discount coupon code (google saferacer coupon code). There was however a backorder (Bell helmet), but I received my new helmet in just under a month. Also, we are in need of volunteers at key positions at our autocrosses this year. We will need 2-3 volunteers at Tech. This position requires familiarity with NCCC and Detroit Council rules and classes, but it is an early job that finishes around noon, giving you the opportunity to socialize and spectate the rest of the day. We could also use a few volunteers in Timing and Scoring, and in particular operating the Timing and Registration software. Please contact me if you are interested in any of these positions or need more info on any of them. See you at the rallye in a week, Chris Scafero CCM Competition Director
