Overview AUTOCROSS:
All drivers will be grouped based on power and weight (P&P System) and whether or not they are Stock/Modified. Vehicles must pass a basic safety tech and quick visual to verify their competition subclass. We reserve the right to send a car back across tech if a complaint is filed.
Classification:
P&P System (Pounds & Ponies)
Pounds = Gross Vehicle Weight
Ponies = Horsepower
Classes
Street: Must run OEM tire size with street tires and be road-legal. Can run any aftermarket mod, but claimed power gains must be reported on your self-tech form and you must add the claimed +HP gains from the manufacturer’s website to your cars stock HP (as reported by the manufacturer). Convertibles Allowed. Tire must have a minimum UTQG Treadwear Grade of 200.
Outlaw: Everything else. Must have 4 wheels (3 wheels touching the ground at all times). Can run any desired tire or powertrain.
Electric Vehicles (EVs): If 5 or more EV’s register, we add EV (Street) or EV (Outlaw) class
Sub-Classes (P&P System):
Street Light = Over 2,000lbs & Under 225whp, Street Tire
Street Muscle = Over 2,800lbs & Under 475whp, Street Tire
Street EV = All Electric Vehicles, Street Tire
Outlaw = Everyone Else
Track and Penalties:
A course with cones will be set up on the oval track. Drivers will grid and start from a standstill in the designated starting area. The goal is to drive as fast as possible while trying to avoid knocking over cones and coming to a complete stop in the finish area before time is counted. Any cone(s) knocked over during a run will result in a 1.0s or 2.0s penalty (depending on track length) being added to the run time.
Drivers will be divided into flights. You will get 3 runs back to back to back in your flight group. Only the first 6 runs will be scored. Once every group has completed their 2nd flight, the course will remain open until the scheduled end time, but runs will be first come, first serve, and not count towards daily awards.
DRIVERS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SHAG CONES!!!

Time Attack
**limited to 20 spots, first come first serve, and run order determined by purchase order
Compete against yourself and compete against others in this non-wheel-to-wheel competitive driving event.
Track and Competition:
Participants will get 1x 10min open lapping session. Your fastest lap in each session counts towards the competition. Top times in each class win.
There is absolutely no passing without a point-by from the driver being overtaken. Drivers must give a point-by before the end of the 2nd passing zone they come to when impeding traffic. Part of the strategy in this event is how you navigate traffic and gap yourself for a fast lap.
