August 2026 Autocross (August 08, 2026)

AUTOCROSS

August 9, 2026 (Deadline August 7, 6 PM)

Autocross is a great way to test your car’s performance and your driving skill. Autocross consists of one car at a time making runs against the clock on a closed course marked by cones. Each run takes about one minute. Speeds are low to medium, generally below 70 mph and driven in second gear. Time penalties are added for disturbing cones or skipping gates.

Our club participates in 5 autocross events a year that are organized by the NWACC (Northwest Association of Corvette Clubs). These events are held in Shelton, WA at Sanderson Field on a former WWII airstrip that has been closed to air traffic. These events include participants at all skill levels, and most drivers will be more than willing to help newcomers learn the course.

To learn more about NWACC Autocross event policies and procedures, please review the NWACC Competition Code at www.nwacconline.com then click on Autocross. This document includes technical inspection requirements, safety policies, vehicle classifications and other important information. All competitors must review this document.

If you are interested in attending this event, you NEED to register at https://scorekeeper.wwscc.org/register/nwacc2026/events. Deadline to register is 6 PM on Friday prior to event. Also, please register on our club website event calendar so we can put you on the coordination email list.

Also, The Washington Viper Club holds their autocross events on the Saturday before our events, at the same location. Most of us are also associate members of the Viper Club, racing on Saturday with the Viper Club and on Sunday with the Corvette Club. It is always a fun weekend with our cars and hanging out with fellow racers. You can stay in a local hotel or camp onsite in the pit area. You can register for the Viper autocross events here www.motorsportreg.com.

Adopt-A-Highway October 2026 (October 04, 2026)

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Our last Adopt-a-Highway cleanup of the year is on Sunday, October 4. We need a few club members to volunteer some time to help clean up a section of I-5, located approximately 11 miles north of Seattle. This is a great community volunteer opportunity and a chance to hang out with Corvette people for a few hours.

We will need 10 volunteers which will include 2 drivers and 8 trash pickers. The drivers will need to bring their own vehicles that they are willing to use to haul volunteers and bagged trash. The vehicles must be large enough to haul 4 volunteers and must have a hitch for our safety sign. Big four door trucks and vans work great. No corvettes this time. The drivers stay in their vehicles, while the trash pickers do their job.

We will meet at 9:00am at the Metro Transit Bus Base Visitors Parking Lot, near the 175^th St. NE Exit from I-5. We provide the hard hats, safety vests, trash picker tools and bags. You will need sturdy shoes, gloves, protective clothing, and a great attitude. We will spend a couple hours cleaning up about a 1 mile long section of the southbound shoulder of I-5, then we may meet up for lunch afterwards. Corvettes can come to lunch!

If you are interested, please register here.

All volunteers must also complete the WSDOT Participation Registration Form: https://wsdot.wa.gov/publications/fulltext/forms/520-031.PDF If you know you have completed this form in the past, don’t worry about it. If you are new to the program, please complete this form and send to me. You can scan it or take a photo with your phone and text it to me.

All volunteers must also review the Pre-Activity Safety Plan: https://wsdot.wa.gov/business-wsdot/highway-signs/adopt-highway/adopt-highway-volunteers#safetytips and watch this video: https://youtu.be/eBxIh67-l74

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at dncayton@msn.com or 206-919-2940.

And remember, you get to keep any good stuff that you find.

Thank you!

Dave Cayton – CMCS Adopt-a-Highway Coordinator
