THIS IS A SATURDAY OPEN EVENT
WELCOME ALL DRIVERS: NEW, ROOKIE, AND EXPERIENCED

REGISTRATION CLOSES AT 5PM ON FRIDAY!!!

New for the 2024 season, we're shifting the focus of our Intro to Autocross events. We are offering two registration options which allow you to choose between one-on-one, instructor-lead coaching or an affordable day of fun runs without the competition of a standard SCCA points event. If you're interested in one-on-one coaching, be sure to sign up FAST! Both prior events in 2024 ended with a long waitlist, and we fully expect this one to as well.

Event Overview

Our goal is twofold:

Instructor-lead students
We want to make you faster. You don't have to be a first-time novice to sign up. If you are a rookie and in your first or second season of AutoX and want to improve your times, consider signing up
Fun-runs
We want you to have as much fun as possible while staying safe and learning the basic of how an autocross event is run. First-timers and long-time drivers, come on out for a relaxed day of fun runs! (Timing lights will be up but no scoring will take place)
NOTE: Registration for Fun Run drivers will open at a later date, based on availability. Priority is given to attendees interested in instructor-lead coaching.

Both of these options are open to all drivers, from first-timers that have never autocrossed to any driver looking to improve their lap times.

If you register for the instructor-lead segment, you will be paired with an experienced instructor that is familiar with your car configuration and can help you extract the most performance possible. It is common for the instructor to ride passenger during most or all of the morning runs and few, if any, of the afternoon runs, but their entire day is reserved for you and your coaching, so ask all the questions you can! It is also common (but not required) for students to ask their instructor to drive their car for one run as a demonstration of good driving technique. Students comfortable with this should mention it to their instructor.

Fun-run registrants will have access to occasional instructor ride-alongs from a reserved set of volunteers in the morning. During the afternoon sessions, ride-alongs should become easier to accommodate as the instructor-lead students start taking independent runs.

Loaner helmets will be available on a first come, first served basis. However, we do not have enough loaner helmets for everyone, so you are strongly encouraged to bring your own, and it must meet our tech requirements (here is a summary of what is required).

If you want to bring a non-participant/guest with you, no pre-registration is required (no additional fee for guests). No one will be allowed through the check-in gate without having signed the waiver, which can be done at the gate.

Optional Classroom Session

Also new for 2024, all participants are invited to join us for a (virtual) classroom session on Wednesday night before the event, October 23. During this classroom session, we will cover:

Event basics
- Preparing you & your car

Driving
- Navigating an autocross course
- The “racing line”
- Vehicle dynamics & car balance
