Road Challenge AutoCross Information

 
 
       
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 traffic 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.
       
         
Who Can Participate?
       
Any registered participant of the event can run the Autocross - for free! The Autocross will run from 9:00am to Noon and 1:00pm to 4:00pm on Friday & Saturday.
