This looks like fun. Do you have to be there the entire day to compete, or can you just for the afternoon?

I went last weekend when they had it here in the San Francisco area. It was a blast! (Of course, my opinion may be biased by the fact that I posted the fastest overall time of the weekend in the Chevy Cobalt and won the Piloti Hot Shoe award

). Even if you are not a die-hard autocrosser, there is plenty to see and do. They had the Camaro concept car, the C6R ALMS corvette, and a few NASCAR vehicles on display. You could drive as many "practice" laps in either a Chevy Cobalt, a supercharged Cobalt, or a C6 Corvette as you wanted on a 20 sec auto-x course. For additional fees, you could go karting or go for a ride in a Z06 with a professional driver. The event is very well organized. The actual competition format was pretty cool with everyone getting 2 laps on a 27 sec auto-x course in a Cobalt and the top 10 drivers of each day returning in the evening for a shootout in C6 Corvettes on the same course, but at night/under the lights. It was a true test of driving talent going from low-powered front wheel drive cars to high powered rear-wheel drive cars. If you are thinking of going, but haven't yet registered, make sure there is still space available before you go (the event fills up pretty fast).

I'm not sure. I had been to the Mazda Rev It Up a couple of years ago and we were on our own timeline. It's good for the other half as well, they can get a taste of what we have been doing and get some instruction, that could help them on the road.
