Any idea how to pre-register? I tried to go through the site (that redirects to some other site) but it looks like registration isn't open yet. Wanted to get my spot booked soon, since I missed out on the Chilly-Cross.

Registered! It's a shame I have to skip VIR for this but I need to learn a few things before I do that. I'm just doing the test and tune on Saturday as of right now. I'm just gonna dip my toe in this, I'm not confident enough to sign up for points yet.

Dude, it's literally the same event with the same course, but you get points versus not. Everyone sees your times for either day, results get posted on the internets for either day.

"Points Challenge" significantly overstates how serious at least 50% of people take an autocross. Don't worry about where you end up on the scoreboard, or even that there is a scoreboard, just drive both days and have fun like most people do.
Now: 07 Porsche Cayman S | 18 VW Tiguan
Then: 18 VW GTI Autobahn | 95 BMW M3 | 15 VW GTI SE | 12 Kia Optima SX | 2009 VW GTI | 00 BMW 540i Sport | 90 Mazda Miata | 94 Yamaha FZR600R | 1993 Suzuki GS500E | 2003 BMW 325i | 95 Saab 900S
I probably would drivr both days if I didn't have my pc parts coming in this week.

False. Times from test n tunes are not posted. Only the driver sees the time as he/she finishes the course That is the only log. Think of the timing as it is for "fun runs"
Also for test n tunes, you get significantly more runs than a regular points event
Oh, oops. Ether way, I don't understand the scared factor.

+1 with either type of driving, a first timer is not going to do well, comparatively speaking. Just have fun either way. That's all that matters!

I just don't want to spend all weekend there since I only get 1 day a week off now. I had to use a vacation day just to get Saturday.
