Hey guys..

I think it was brought up here before about doing a night event and that it was shot down... am I right?

If so... was it a lot issue or was it SCCA national office?

Thanks in advance

Ok, I wasn't sure if there was SCCA rules against it due to visibility concerns. A local region ( not mine ) has some coming up and was curious about it.

I can't see it being 'fun' other than it being different.

I think there were issues with the lot as well. I don't think PSTCC wanted us there at night, and there were concerns about noise and the surrounding neighbors from a night event.

I did one. Couldn't look ahead at all. It was more fun than not autocrossing, but less fun than autocrossing during the day.

Bob speaks mind often,
Words cannot harness those thoughts.
Try to understand.

IIRC, CCR has a night series. The name Metrolina comes to mind.
