novice permit

[gdh57]

I've been planning to make Pagoda my first hillclimb, and have even managed to talk my husband into it. The car is ready; has been ready for some time (silver '86 VW Scirocco for anyone that remembers it from the BMR autocross events last winter).

But I've managed to procrastinate on the novice permit, and just realized there is only 2 weeks to go (hey, at least I took care of the car ).

A couple of questions:

Is the novice permit application for hillclimbs the same as the road racing one? The link to the application on pahillclimb.org is broken. And since the text on pahillclimb says the fee is $25, but the road-racing permit application is $110, I was wondering if there was a different permit for hillclimb...

Do I need to get a physical? Or is that just for the road racing novice permit?

Is there enough time left to send in the form and get it turned around by national? Or am I better off applying at the event?

Thanks!

Grace,
Just show up at registration. The novice permit can be taken care of there. It IS NOT the same as the road race novice permit and it is still $25 (I think). Just bring an extra check which will be made out to SCCA. If you don't have an SCCA membership, you can get that also (with another check).

You don't need a physical right away, you can fill out the required portion at the event.
I would not send it in now as it probably will not be back in time.

HI,

It is listed as Time Trials Application here is the link.

http://www.scca.com/_Filelibrary/File/t ... icense.pdf

It is $35 this year.

If your not an SCCA member the App is here:

Depending on the region you are in the SCCA membership is $70 give or take.

But, like Nelson said you can do all of this at the event registration Friday evening at Sears Auto lot.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks! That link was what I needed. We are both SCCA members. We'll just fill the novice license applications out at the event.

Do you have an address for the sears auto center? I am a little familar with the area, but don't know where Berkshire Mall is.

Grace,

Glad to hear you (and Keith) are finally going to give this a shot. You guys are going to have a ball. Looking forward to catching up with you.

Grace,
The Sears Auto Center is on the East end of the Berkshire Mall parking lot. The Berkshire Mall is just West of the junction of Rts 222 & 422.

That is only a few miles from my parent's house (in Shillington).

Thanks everyone! I'm looking forward to next weekend (a year and a half later after using hillclimbs as an excuse for picking up another Scirocco ).
