What is AutoCross? |
|
|
|
|
AutoCross – Probably the least expensive means to get involved with motorsports. AutoCrosses are held most weekends around the country. AutoCrosses are held in big , wide open parking lots. A course is set up using orange pylons, and a driver then negotiates the course, as quickly as possible. Each car is timed, and hitting cones will result in time penalties.
|
|
|
|
|
AutoCross events are “Time Trial” style competitions; there is no wheel to wheel racing involved, as cars are sent out one at a time. In general, a course is laid out using traffi c cones; time penalties will be charged for disturbing cones. (Penalty is 2 seconds per cone.)
|
|
|
|
|
Just bring your registered/street legal vehicle to the Street Challenge tech area at the event to get inspected and you are ready to run. |
