Where and can anyone still sign up? From when to when?

I didn't commit to the PCA Fall Drive and just realized that the last day to sign up was Saturday. Not to mention I don't think I'll be able to dedicate the entire day.

It is in Quonset, North Kingstown RI. Sign up is at the event itself. Course is set up with cones, but it is not exactly an "autocross". You don't have to work the course and as a result, depends on how many people show up, you can get a lot more runs compare to a typical autocross.
I went on 9/25 and got 15 runs in. The course was over 1.5 miles in length. The down side is that the Quonset runway is not very smooth, but it was a lot of fun nonetheless. I happen to not have to work this weekend. Hopefully I can make it this coming Sunday.

Check out this posting on NASIOC for some details.

BTW the schedule listed is not quite right. Last time I went, everyone showed up at 11:30 instead of 8.

The PCA Fall drive is an NER event but last day to sign up was October 1.

The DE that Karl posted looks like an open event.

It is open, just about to anything. There was a Ford Focus that had some ring problems and by the end of the day, was spilling out oil smoke on the way home.
