PREMIER AUTOX EVENT OF THE SEASON AND CHARITY FUNDRAISER
Autocross is a sport of trying to navigate your car through a defined course of pylons, usually on a large parking lot, faster than your competition. Autocross courses are set up using soft orange traffic cones which will not damage your car, but they do melt! Events are run at speeds usually between 20-45 MPH and almost entirely in 2nd gear. Autocross is a “performance driving event” and a safe way to learn how to drive your car at its limit. You not only learn how to handle your car at speeds that you drive daily, but you also:
- Gain confidence in your driving ability
- Learn the limits of your car’s brakes
- Learn correct seating, hand, and feet positions
- Learn the limits of your car’s tire adhesion
- Finally, autocross is a social gathering of new and old friends and is LOTS OF FUN!
All you need is is a Helmet (Loaners available), drivers license and a roadworthy car! All MAKES/MODELS WELCOME! Navigate through course marked by cones for fastest time! This event will be Limited to 100 Drivers; Walkups are welcome on a first come-first serve basis!!
