Please mark your calendars for the 2004 American Muscle Car Team 
Challenge hosted by the Corvette Owners Club of Sacramento (COCS). The 
event dates are October 2 & 3, 2004 and will be held at Castle Airport 
in Atwater, CA. The event is open to all american V8 (V10 Vipers) muscle 
cars such as Corvette, Camaro, Firebird, Mustang, Cobra, Viper, etc. The 
event entries will be limited to 80. The 80 entrants will be divided up 
into 20 teams (4 to a team). The teams will compete against the other 19 
teams for a trophy per team member, and of course, bragging rights for 
an entire year.

The event will be held on grippy concrete. You will be allowed to leave 
your vehicles on site both Friday and Saturday night. The compound is 
secured during the night. A RV campground with some available sites are 
near by within less than a 1/4 or 1/2 mile on the airport property.

The scoring will be based on your best run each day, and combined with 
your team member's best run each day for a combined team total. Each car 
will be paxed/handicapped to ensure a level competition field for all. 
The ladies class will be paxed/handicapped differently than their 
respective open class. Vehicles on Street Tires will be 
paxed/handicapped with a different factor. The teams will be picked by a 
random drawing. Each entrant will be given a skill level factor for the 
random drawing to ensure that each team is equal as much as possible for 
a level competition field.

No more than one national level caliber driver or beginner/novice driver 
will make up the same team. No more than two drivers can drive the same 
car. The second driver of the same car will be placed on a different 
team and in the other run group. There are only two run groups. All 
entrants will work for the other group during both the practice 
(Morning) and official competition (Afternoon) groups both days.

SCCA and the American Autocross Series (AAS) B Street Prepared Vintage 
(BSPV) classifications and preparation rules will be used. Vehicles on 
Street Tires should indicate their respective open/ladies class and 
indicate street tires on the application form. A street tire is a DOT 
tire with a tread wear rating of 120 or more.

The event fee will be determined in the next month or two but in the 
past its been $95.00 ea and the fee includes the Saturday night sit down 
dinner. Extra dinner tickets can be bought and that price will also be 
determined.

The entry fee includes two days of fun-packed competition and social 
activities. Each day will be a different course and you will get 3 
practice runs in the morning and 4 official timed competition runs. The 
trophies will be presented immediately after the conclusion of the 
Sunday afternoon competition runs.

The course will be setup Friday afternoon and will be ready for walking 
approx. 5:00PM. Friday registration and tech inspection will be between 
5:00PM-8:00PM

Saturday registration check-in and the tech inspection will be open 
between 7:00AM-8:00AM. The registration check-in will close immediately 
at 8:00AM in order to finalize the teams and enter the data into the 
timing & scoring computer system. The safety tech inspection will close 
at 8:15AM.

Registration must be prepaid prior to the event. The registration is on 
a first come first serve basis. Prior event entrants will have first 
priority for registration and must have their prepaid registration/entry 
in by September 8, 2004.  Beginning September 9, all entrants will be on 
a first come first serve basis as indicated by the USPS postmark. If 
this is your first time for this event, you should go-ahead send in your 
registration to be first on the stand-by/I-wanna-be-in-this-event list. 
After September 8, you will be moved from the wanna-be-in-this-event 
list to the next available slot on the for-sure-your-in-the-game list.

Please complete the entire registration form in order for us to classify 
your vehicle properly, especially the make and type of tires you're 
going to compete on. Don't forget to note if you're going to have a 
second driver in the same car, and who that driver is. Each driver must 
submit a separate registration form.

The Team Challenge event information will be posted to the forthcoming 
COCS web site at www.cocs.us

The site is not up yet but will be shortly. If you would like a 
registration form for this event you can e-mail me and I will send you a 
Word.Doc file for you to print, fill out, and mail back to me.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. You'll find 
that this is event is the most fun to be had all year long. Also, if you 
want to be in-the-game, don't hesitate to get your application in. 
Unfortunately, we do have to turn people away and not to exceed the 
maximum limit of 80 entrants.

The event hotel will be identified in the next month or two. We will try 
to obtain a special price for you and reserve a block of rooms.
