7:30 am – 4:00 pm CT

Travis County Expo Center

7311 Decker Lane,  Austin  TX  7872

For a repeat performance, we have secured the Travis County Expo Center. HCR’s Winter Autocross confirmed that the designated parking lot is in good shape and is perfect for running many laps through, around, and bypassing the cones (you know who you are)! It features a series of lanes with parking spaces, but no curbs, so wide sweeping turns are out; however, all of your favorite features—slaloms, different radius turns, and a few straightaways—should make this a fun and exciting event. We love having experienced and novice Autocrossers join us. We will have our usual group of instructors, a novice walk, loaner helmets, coffee and donuts, and more. The price remains just $45 for PCA members and $55 for all others.
