That's right! Back by popular demand, the 2026 Ladies-Only Autocross School, hosted by the Triad Sports Car Club on Saturday, April 11th! There is a 32 entrant cap, so register early to get in.

If you have any questions about this event, please email Chris Peterson at fishercjs@gmail.com , please make sure to put CHICK SCHOOL in the subject line.

Where?
The school will take place at the Winston Salem Fairgrounds! Please utilize the following address:

421 West 27th Street - Winston Salem North Carolina, 27105
"GATE 9"

Why?
The women and men of TSCC are very excited to be presenting this event to provide an opportunity to introduce autocross to women who may be totally new to the sport, as well as any women who have been participating only a short while who would like to get additional seat time and instruction -- all in a low-key, stress-free environment. A valid Driver's License is required for all students driving at this school. All males will have to be off site well before the school actually begins! This is an event run 100% by ladies for ladies!

What can I drive?
Most cars are fine. If you plan to enter in a Truck or SUV we ask that you pump the brakes. While many modern SUV's are pretty dang stable there is still a higher rollover risk than in a normal car. SUV's/CUV's like a Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV-4, Mazda CX5, etc are not allowed. Even some cars like a standard Fiat 500 or Ford Fiesta (very short, but tall) are not allowed to run (However the Abarth & ST trim of these cars are!). Our guideline for determining eligibility is as follows: If your vehicle has a height that is greater than the track width, it cannot run. If you are unsure if your vehicle is eligible to run just let us know!

What will we be doing?
With a generous amount of help from all of the North Carolina Sports Car Clubs (Especially the ladies!!), we will equip you with the knowledge to be comfortable and have fun at an autocross. We also hope you will find the limits of your car and maybe even learn a few things to make you safer on the roads! You'll have plenty of seat-time, hands-on instruction, and opportunity to ask any questions that come to your mind. Remember, there is no dumb question!

So, what happens if it rains? Well, regular autocrosses run rain or shine. However, in an effort to provide the best learning environment for all aspects of this school, in the event of forecasted steady rain, we may consider rescheduling the school sometime later in the year. We will notify all participants as soon as possible if a rain-date change is expected.

An agenda and any pre-event instructions will be provided to each student and instructor via email after preregistration closes.

If you have more immediate needs, please contact Chris Peterson at: Fishercjs@gmail.com (Make sure you put "CHICK SCHOOL" in the title!)

BUT WAIT! There's more!
As a thank you to the students AND the instructors for taking part in and help run this event, Triad Sports Car Club is granting students and instructors free entry into the following day's (April 12th) autocross event also taking place at the fairgrounds!! Details of this event will be shared with all who sign up through E-Mail and other means at a later date closer to the actual event date.

Again, the North Carolina Sports Car Club community is very excited to be able to bring you this event. We look forward to seeing you Saturday, April 11th!
