Did You Know?

Autocross is a sport of trying to navigate your car through a defined course made up of pylons usually on a large parking lot, faster than your competition. Autocross courses are set up using soft orange traffic pylons (aka “cones”) which will not damage your car.


Events are run at speeds usually between 40-65 MPH, usually in 2nd gear. Autocross is a “performance driving event” and a safe way to learn how to drive your car at its limit.
