11/4/2023 – Saturday – Registration for our Fall Autocross is now available on Club Registration. If you have never participated in an autocross, you are in for a thrill. Most P-car owners love the feeling of hundreds of horsepower thrusting you back in your seat while the incredible handling of your car allows you to take turns at amazing speeds. The trouble is that our friends in blue tend to frown on this sort of behavior on public streets for obvious reasons. And this is why autocross is so fun! We have a closed course, set up in a parking lot, under the strict rules of PCA to allow you to experience all of the above in a safe manner. The cost is only $45 for PCA Members and you will get 8 to 10 runs of our 1/2 mile course at speeds that rarely exceed 60mph, so the wear and tear on your car will be minimal but the exhilaration will be immense! We love individuals that are new to autocross which is why we have a novice walk and plenty of instructors to ride along with you. Much more information about this event is located on the HCR calendar, which you can link to here: https://hcrpca.org/event/fall-2023-autocross/
