About this event
Attention BMWCCA members!! NCC Autocross School - 03/5/2011
On Saturday, March 5th, 2011, the NCC Autocross program will be conducting its first autocross school for 2011.
Everyone is open to attend.
Autocross is a safe, low-speed motorsport where competitors drive against the clock to turn in the best times as they
navigate a driving course defined by orange parking cones in a large, open lot. The Autocross School is the best way for
new and budding autocross participants to learn more about autocross and improve their driving performance through a
combination of classroom education and in-car instruction by some of the best instructors in the Washington DC area.
Come join us at the Bowie Baysox Stadium for a fun and educational day filled with safe but adrenaline raising motorsport.
Classroom sessions will include a variety of topics to help novice participants better understand what goes on in a day of
autocross, and what they will likely be seeing and hearing around them as they participate in the motorsport. Instruction
on how to prepare both the car and driver for autocross, how to register, tech inspect, work a course, and safety topics will
get you up to speed with the day-of operations for participating in autocross. Then, drivers will learn how to make the most
of their runs by examining techniques like walking the course to determine good run lines, throttle modulation (your gas
pedal is not an on-off switch!), and when to brake. Classroom discussions will also cover basic handling conditions such
as 'oversteer' and 'understeer' you may have heard of, and how to correct them, and try to prevent these issues to give
you your best runs.
When not in classroom sessions, it's time to put all of your newfound knowledge to work. Get ready to buckle up and
drive, as you will get run after run to put your training and skills to the test with a series of handling and stopping
challenges as you gear up to run a full autocross course. With one of our excellent instructors at your side, you will
continue to receive guidance to improve your performance and lower your lap times. As you learn how to pick your turn-in
points, choose your braking zones and work the throttle wisely, you will notice a consistent improvement in how your car
handles confidently and smartly through the sea of cones.
There is no better way to get started in autocross than with the NCC Autocross School. Whether you've done a few
events in the past, or if you've never been out to a course before, you'll find the program educational and the skills you
learn useful not just on the autocross course, but for all of the driving you do. Our staff is ready to answer any questions
you will have and will ensure you get personalized attention and instruction to overcome any concerns or issues. We are
ready to introduce you to the fast and fun world of autocross, are you ready to join? Register now as space in our
Autocross Schools are limited to the first 20 participants to ensure small class groups and personalized instruction.
