The 2017 Kick-Off Autocross Practice

Auto Club Speedway

About this event

Here we are again, the beginning of another fantastic year of precision driving as AutoClub Speedway will play host to our first practice session of 2017. With limited sunlight, practice spots will be in peak demand as we can only accommodate a limited number of drivers. Don't risk being left out. Get registered early. With hotels cheap and plentiful in the Fontana/Ontario area, why not make it a weekend and join us for two days of fun and register for our first Autocross Sunday of the season the following day! This practice will be filled on a first come, first served basis, so don't delay. Register now!

What to Expect
As usual, you can expect a world class course specially prepared by the Cal Club Autocross team. We expect to get the usual 12 runs each, maybe more, though it's not guaranteed. With daytime highs averaging a very comfortable 74 degrees, the course and weather conditions should be excellent for an autocross. Expect to see the entry list posted two weeks prior to the event.   

Your hosts for the event are the volunteers who make up Cal Club Autocross, a not-for-profit club assembled for the sole purpose of organizing world class autocross events in the Cal Club Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). Organizers are non-paid volunteers. All participants will be required to perform a normal work assignment as your contribution to the event. 

When you arrive
Come through the main gate on Cherry Avenue. Bear left after the guard shack and then turn left after the forced right turn. We are in the lot across from the go kart track. Be sure to observe the 25 speed limit while inside the facility. When you see the large lot laden with bright orange cones you know you’ve arrived. Be sure to sign the event waiver at the entrance to our area. Park your car in any open spot and come to registration for check-in. After registering, proceed to the tech area so your car and helmet can be approved. Be sure allow enough time for a course walk. That it's........you're ready to go.

No Overnight Camping
There is no overnight camping allowed on this site. However, personal belongings, including vehicles, may remain overnight. Everything must be removed by the time we leave on Sunday. Neither the SCCA, Cal Club Autocross, or Auto Club Speedway will be responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen property.

Hey.....don't forget your water
It may get hot out there. The night before, put 7 or 8 bottles of water in the freezer. Kept in a small cooler, you'll have a supply of cold water all day.
