Co-chairs Art McDonald and Patrice Bousquet bring you...International Intrigue Challenge!
Last-minute info from your event chairs:
There will be no lunch concession. Last minute change of plans by the site owner. There is fast food available within a few miles of the site, but given the hubbub from the car show that will be held
just outside the fence from our event, it will probably be better to bring your lunch and eat in.
Also, when you get to the event site, the main gate in front of
the Dealers Auto Auction will be locked. We're using a side entrance, so you will have to turn right on to Brompton Road either shortly before or shortly after the main gate. Keep your eyes open for a big cone and/or the white THSCC autocross sign. Gate opens at 7:30.
What do you get when you team together an event co-chair from
Canada, who speaks with a French accent but drives a German car, with an event co-chair from oh-so-cosmopolitan Durham, who would rather push a Pinto than drive a Corvette, and bleeds Carolina Blue? Intrigue, my friends, International Intrigue!
You also get a team competition, that you will find to be both
international and intriguing. Here are the rules:
Each team will be composed of four drivers. The lowest individual
net times (raw time + penalties) during the regular autocross competition for each of the four drivers on the team will be added together to determine the team score. Lowest total time wins.
Team composition must meet these requirements:
INTERNATIONAL RULES:
- At least one driver must drive a North American brand car, and
there may be only one North American brand car driver per team.
- At least one driver must drive a European brand car.
- At least one driver must drive an Asian brand car.
*** NOTE: Car continent-of-origin will be determined by the commonly recognized nationality of the brand. Mitsubishi Eclipses and Mazdas
are Japanese. Eagle Talons are American. VW Rabbits, even Amish ones, are German. If you are still intrigued, consult the event chairs.
INTRIQUING RULES:
- At least one driver must be a woman.
- At least one driver must drive on street tires.
A single driver may fulfill both RULES 4 and 5, in addition to
one of RULES 1-3.
A prize or prizes of undetermined but likely trivial value will
be awarded to the winning team.
Teams are encouraged to come up with clever team names, fight songs, paddock decorations, dances, costumes or other gimmicks.
Send your team entries to atlarge@thscc.com. Please indicate in your entry note the team name, each driver and car, and which driver(s) will be on street tires. We'll do our best to figure out the boy/girl thing if you don't tell us.
