What is an Autocross?

Autocross is the 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 pylon cones (which will not damage your car) and events are run at speeds usually between 40-65 MPH, usually all in 2nd gear. Autocross is a "performance driving event" and a safe way to learn how to drive your car at its limits. 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

Most importantly, autocross is a social gathering of friends with a common interest and is simply a ton of fun!
