Looks like the PCA has lost it's use of the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Training Center for autocross.

As long as the current chairman was insuring the guidelines were always followed the PCA should not have been doing anything that caused the county commissioners concern. Pretty sure it is the other clubs causing the problems.

Kinda irks me when they say the insurance and waivers don't protect the county when that is specifically what the insurance and waivers are for.

Figured it was lost when I heard it was the Mustang club that got the commissioners involved and a guy that organizes track events (not autocross) got involved. The only thing worse would be the Miata club that was using the training course like a track with multiple cars doing sessions. And have had discussions with the Corvette club chairman and they don't set up courses to keep the speeds under 100mph. Which is a requirement for PCA autocross events. Pretty sure the safety of the PCA events opened the gates to the other clubs.

Hope the PCA uses this as an opportunity to find something better. Personally I think a large parking lot or runway area would be better because there were lots of places at that facility that had bar ditches and burms instead of runoff areas where if you made a mistake you damaged your car or self. It severely limited how the courses could be set up to minimize the risk in those areas. Will take someone committed to putting in the time and effort though.
