Autocrossing has been a premier activity for the New Jersey Chapter from the beginning. If you have questions about what an autocross is or how the event is organized, please go here. Each driver will usually get at least 8 timed runs during the day. Your best time counts toward the competition. Each cone that is knocked down, or displaced from the box in which it stands, adds a 2 second penalty.
The Venue: The TD Bank Ballpark lot allows courses that yield typical run times of about 45 seconds. Most drivers run the course using 2nd gear.
Minimum Age and License: Drivers must be at least 18 years of age and have full driver's license.
Car requirements: You do not need to own or drive a BMW to participante. However, your car should be in safe condition to run at an autocross. Please consult the tech document here. You will be required to sign this form at the event. (You do not need to bring a copy with you.)
BMW CCA Membership: You do not need to be a member of the BMW Car Club of America to participate. However there is a $10 surcharge for non-members. The club welcomes new members. To encourage membership there is a one-time discount of the autocross fee for new members.
