Autocross (also known as Autoslalom) is a low-cost form of motorsports that allows anyone to enjoy the thrill of driving at their limits in a safe, controlled, and legal environment.

In an autocross event, participants drive a course demarcated with pylons on a large parking lot or other paved surface. Drivers race their cars independently of each other, allowing them to concentrate on braking and cornering at the limits of their car’s (or their own) ability, while having their run electronically timed to thousandths of a second. Course design emphasizes car handling skills and manoeuvrability with speeds rarely exceeding normal posted highway speeds.

Who (and What) Can Participate?

You don’t have to be experienced or “fast” to participate! In fact, our Autocross Organizing Team (AOT) is committed to welcoming the participation of beginners. Most participants compete using the car they use to pick up groceries, go to work, etc. Given the variations in vehicle capabilities, the field is broken into classes so that Toyota Corollas, for example, are not having to battle against Corvettes.

There are very few restrictions on the types of vehicles that cannot participate. SUVs and Mini-Vans are generally not permitted, but some other cars are also prohibited.. If you’re unsure, please email us, and we’ll be happy to help. If your car is not suitable, but you know a good friend who might also be interested, sharing cars is totally permitted. In fact, most of the couples who participate share a vehicle.
