Autocross, is a low-to-medium speed, timed driving competition. A course is marked out with traffic cones on a large paved surface that is usually fairly flat. Competitors drive through the course one at a time, each trying to be the fastest person to complete the circuit. Timers record laps down to the thousandth of a second, and each person gets multiple tries at the course during competition (Typically 10-15 runs). Speeds are around 20 to 40 MPH, with very little risk to either the car or participant. Autocross rewards precision driving. Competitors who incorrectly navigate the course or knock cones over or out of their boxes are given time-penalties for that run. Each driver’s single best lap-time is used to determine class winners. Autocross is an “amateur” sport, there is no prize money, but CSCC presents trophies at each event.

You can be involved in the CSCC even without a car! Come to an event and volunteer to learn the ropes, or come to a meeting and see how we work behind the scenes. Being involved is the best way to gain trust with other drivers - enough to let you drive their car! We also recommend renting a car!

Just about any car can compete in autocross. Anything from stock, fresh off the dealer lot to a hand built modified car. Reminder that all cars are subject to an onsite safety tech inspection. To avoid any surprises on site see section 3.3.3 Safety Inspections in the SCCA rule book for more information. Cars are assigned to classes depending on their typical performance and any modifications they have. People can have fun autocrossing just about anything. The emphasis is on car handling and driver skill – not just horsepower or raw speed. Cars used for autocross range from completely stock or lightly modified to heavily modified. There are many experienced people at every event that can help answer questions about the rules.

To register for a specific event, you must sign up for SCOREKEEPER and register there. When you are asked, enter if you are a member, or wish to pay for a temporary membership fee. The CSCC uses Scorekeeper along with other regional clubs to track times and rankings. SK only shares your information with us. ​ This is a separate transaction and registration from your yearly Membership dues. To purchase a Season membership, visit the Membership Page.

Yes. Anyone can come watch. Under 16 requires a parent to sign the insurance waiver on their behalf. Most heats occur between 9am - 12pm and 1pm-4pm. Visitors must check in at the van to sign a waiver and get a wrist band. Enter the course through the grid when it is safe to do so. A volunteer will show you the safest place from which to spectate. Park in the designated areas. Stay off the course at all times.

CSCC allows passengers on competition runs, meaning you can ride with other drivers and someone ride with you. ONE EXCEPTION FOR SAFETY: novices are not allowed to ride with novices. Don’t worry about not knowing exactly what to do, our experienced drivers will be glad to help you through the day and give you some driving tips as well.

Yes! Come prepared for any weather, as you will be standing outside for long periods of time. Racing is not cancelled unless severe weather conditions arise like lightning, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, or flooding.
