About this event
Autocross consists of a single car at a time making runs against the clock on a closed course marked by cones. Each run takes about one minute. Speeds are low to medium, generally below 70 mph and driven in second gear. Time penalties are added for disturbing cones or skipping gates.
At NWAA events, participants are also volunteers. If your group is not driving, then you are required to fill a 'work assignment' while your fellow competitors take their turn in their session. This keeps things running smoothly and fosters a strong sense of camaraderie. Adherence to the work assignment policy is mandatory, and ensures fairness for all.
