About this event
WELCOME TO 4-STATE VETTES AUTOCROSS for 2025 !!
Please note that this pair of AX events will amost certainly be the last of the 4-State Vettes Autocrosses for 2025, and will necessarily be somewhat different from most previous events primarily because of the days getting shorter. Assuming that the weather doesn't let us down AGAIN--FINGERS CROSSED--we'll likely be doing only 6 runs instead of 8. If weather conditions deteriorate and we have to change or cancel one or both events, that will be posted on our FaceBook page and you will get an email from me/us via Motorsportreg.com--Friday evening at the latest.
ALSO, it's important that you pre-register for this event because if the turnout looks like we'll have fewer than 10 or 12 cars Saturday and/or fewer than 20 or so on Sunday--based on the pre-registration--(especially if the weather looks "iffy," i.e., wet and/or uncomfortably cold), we might have to cancel one or both event(s).
ALL OF OUR REGULAR EVENTS ARE FOR EVERYONE, HOWEVER!! (In other words, you don't have to be a 4-StateVettes club member or even own a Corvette to participate.)
BUT, if you DO own a Corvette, we'd LOVE to have you as a club member. Look at our website (www.4StateVettes.com) or FaceBook pages for details. Or ask on the day of the event!
FOR QUICK QUESTIONS AND INFORMATION, THE SUREST WAY TO GET A PROMPT ANSWER / RESPONSE IS BY CALLING OR SENDING AN SMS (TEXT) MESSAGE TO 620-249-5168 OR by posting a comment for reply on our FB page!!
*NOTE: BE SURE TO REGISTER for ALL 4StateVettes Autocross events on MotorsportReg.com BEFORE the specified registration deadline to get a $5 discount for each event day! (I.e., $25 payable on site instead of $30. Note that we had to increase our fees beginning in 2024, but it's the first such increase in at least 10 years, and we think it's still a stellar deal for the number of runs we provide (USUALLY 6 TO 8) and the quality of the experience. We hope you agree.)
**ADDITIONAL NOTE: When registering for one of our events, keep in mind that if you have been a participant in one of our events within the last couple of years you should request only the car number you have used previously. IF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD A NUMBER ASSIGNED OR HAVEN'T BEEN TO A 4-STATEVETTES EVENT IN A LONG TIME, feel free to ask for any number that you'd like, but keep in mind that very few two-digit numbers are available. And because many people use painter's tape to make the numbers, the "straight" numbers 1, 4, and 7 (and numbers containing them) are popular and may be unavailable. We are considering ways to make this process easier and less confusing, but likely nothing will change in that respect in 2025.
***IMPORTANT CHANGE NOTICE: BECAUSE OF A CHANGE IN OUR EVENT LIABILITY INSURANCE FROM THE NCCC (National Council of Corvette Clubs), WE CAN NOT ACCOMMODATE PURE ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EVs) IN AUTOCROSS /SOLO COMPETITION ANYMORE. THIS MAY OR MAY NOT INCLUDE CERTAIN HYBRIDS AS WELL. THIS RULING WAS MADE AT THE END OF 2022 BY THE NCCC BECAUSE OF A FEW SERIOUS INCIDENTS, PRIMARILY INVOLVING TESLA VEHICLES. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS (for the time being), AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

Event requirements
EVERYONE (except Junior Kart drivers) MUST present a current valid STATE driver's license to participate.
SNELL-rated helmets for drivers and passengers are REQUIRED. (Current minimum SNELL rating is 2015 or newer.) Helmet, seatbelt / harness and vehicle safety inspections are or can be required.
A few Loaner helmets are available on site.
Signed Insurance waivers are required FOR ALL ADULTS (both drivers and spectators) AND MINORS (by legal guardians) on site. We will have the forms on site.
No pets or small children are allowed in the grid (paddock) or on the course surface once the event has begun.
"Hooning" or objectively unwise or unsafe driving--as determined by our NCCC rules and/or the event officials--will NOT be tolerated at the event site OR at Crowder College in general--NO EXCEPTIONS. Furthermore, speeds within the STARTING GRID and SHUTDOWN AREA OF THE COURSE (ASAP after passing through the finish lights) must be brought / kept to less than a brisk walking speed.
One more thing: Autocross is not the same as "Drifting"; no points are given for drifting maneuvers which appear to be intended to produce tire smoke and sliding, and any overt / deliberate displays of drifting will not be tolerated at our Autocross events.
Traffic laws and rules (yes, even the posted 15 MPH speed limits) on the Crowder College campus are strictly enforced by the Neosho City Police.
More information is available on our website.
