BEGINING IN 2026, our participants (and spectators, workers and "pitt crew" members) have been invited to take advantage of Crowder College's very affordable buffet-style cafeteria located on campus just two blocks east of the autocross event site. The days of driving a mile or more for lunch breaks (etc.) and/or getting stuck in fast food drive-thru's are history. There is a variety of food available at this campus facility and it's open any time that classes are in session, including weekends. The cost for a meal there is $9--$10 per person. We will make announcements regarding this facility at various times during our autocross events.
(We may even be able to arrange service for those times when the students are on breaks or vacations if we can assure the Crowder staff that there will be enough demand to open up. Accurate pre-registration would be helpful, but more on all this later...)
*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! In other words, you pay $25 on site--if you preregister at MotorSportReg.com--instead of $30. Note that we had to increase our fees beginning in 2024, but it was the first such increase in more than 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 for the short term at least, nothing will change.
***NOTICE: BECAUSE OF A CHANGE IN 2022 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 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 2020 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.
