Autocross at GoodGuys Events
What is an Autocross?
Information for the Street Challenge
Autocross – Probably the least expensive means to get involved with motorsports. Autocrosses are held most weekends around the country. Autocrosses are held in big , wide open parking lots. A course is set up using orange pylons, and a driver then negotiates the course, as quickly as possible. Each car is timed, and hitting cones will result in time penalties.
Autocross and Solo II events are "Time Trial" style competitions; there is no wheel to wheel racing involved, as cars are sent out one at a time, or at least spaced out so that they should not come into any contact with each other.
In general, a course is laid out using traffic cones; time penalties will charged for disturbing cones. For most clubs the penalty is 2 seconds per cone, although for some it may be 1 second.
Where is the Autocross?
The Street Challenge Autocross will be ran at the 1st NAPA Southern Nationals at the Atlanta Motor Speedway June 15-16. Other GoodGuy events that will have the Street Challenge Autocross are 2nd Nashville Nationals in Nashville, TN at the Collisium, the 6th Mid-Western Nationals in Kansas City, KS at the Kansas Motor Speedway, 1st PEAK Chicagoland Nationals in Joliet, IL at the Chicagoland Speedway, the 15th Lone Star Nationals in Fort Worth, TX at the Texas Motor Speedway and the 14th Southeastern Nationals in Charlotte, NC at the Lowes Motor Speedway.
