I would love to put together an auto-x event but wondering how much is actually involved. Just off the top of my head, Im sure I would need the following:
- large parking lot
- owner of said lots, permission to hold the event there
- many many many orange cones
- some kind of permit from the city or town to allow it
- awards or trophies
- advertisements or flyers
- people to help out and work the event
- random office supplies, computer, printer, etc
What about medical and fire? I assume i would have to have them there in case of emergencies. Maybe tow trucks too?
Sounds like alot of work. sad.gif

There's a LOT involved. You need event insurance, all the things you listed up there, and some other stuff. Contact your local SCCA to see what they have to go through.

Event insurance and site rental fees are the biggest expenses, and they're high. Your best bet is to find a sanctioning club with insurance already to assist you in making it happen.
