Basic overview of autocross

Autocross, sometimes called autox, is an exciting sport where the objective is simple: get to the finish line as fast as you can. The track is laid out by cones, to enable the club or clubs to change the race track after every race. If you hit a cone, depending on the event, you get up to a two second penalty. Thinking of cutting through the cones to go straight to the finish line? Sorry, then, because the penalty for having more than half of your car out of bounds is disqualification.

Do I have to worry about wrecking my car?

In autocross, you don’t have to worry about wrecking your car, thanks again to the unique “walls” a.k.a. cones. Autocross isn’t really any more dangerous than regular driving.

What kind of car do I need to have to be involved in autocross?

You can be involved with autocross with practically any car! Excluding SUVs, there’s a class for any kind of car you can throw at the club!

Why should I be interested in autocross?

Autocross takes place in a fun, competitive environment that is both rewarding and entertaining. When you’re not racing, you get to slip in between cars and put cones back up. After the race, you can ride in any car there for a dollar!
