Autocross is a fun and exciting way to drive your vehicle on a racetrack against the clock plus we have instructors. Drivers will maneuver around a cone-lined course with sharp curves, slaloms, straightaways, and tight handling situations. All of this is accomplished in a safe and controlled environment with one driver on course at a time. Safety is the primary focus at an autocross.

There are a few changes to the 2024 season. A later start time, 8:00 am, and the entry fee is just $35 per driver. Awards are given to the fastest time in class, the fastest time of the Day, and year-end champion prizes at the annual meeting.

Startup time on race day will be 8:00 am, with registration, tech inspections, track walk, and morning briefing. Lunch break is during your corner worker time. This schedule should allow us to wrap everything up by 2:00 pm. Yes, we will have un-timed fun runs after 2:00 pm for anyone who wants to extend their day. There will be a new course layout that proves to be challenging and a long run.

Autocross is an inexpensive way to gather like-minded people, push your driving limits, learn about safe handling in your vehicle, and have fun. The events are open to drivers with valid driver’s licenses, Porsches are not required. We are hoping for more participation from other car clubs in the surrounding area so feel free to invite your friends and family. All manufacturers are welcome! Last year we had some very fast cars including Miatas, Corvettes, Mercedes, Camaros, VWs, and Mustangs & Porsches.
