About this event
Bridge City Autosports has been invited back to host an autocross during the Rose Cup Races!
This year, we are thrilled to be joined by members from Avants (https://www.avants.com/), one of our local partners! If you haven't checked them out, and you like just about anything related to cars, go check them out for some fantastic opportunities!
EDIT: AFTER JULY 1ST YOUR ENTRY WILL NOT INCLUDE A ROSE CUP RACE TICKET. YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE ONE SEPARATELY TO ENTER THE SITE.
Your entry here will include a (one) pass to watch the Rose Cup Races for the days you sign up! If you bring your family and/or friends, they will have to purchase tickets through Rose Cup Races at https://aftontickets.com/event/buyticket/3rx77o2x1y/rose-cup-races?fbclid=IwAR1kUPzU0UFQkkircXm_Q6yoozwbHWOXickm459i-aNr8SyRo1ecNuVaOxs.
The autocross will be located in the North Paddock (middle of the track). The day will have three sessions. You may sign up for as many sessions as you want (until a session is filled up).
You need to show up with enough time to walk the course and get ready to go. The break between the second and third sessions is only 25 minutes. Showing up early and watching the course will help you get to know the course before walking it. Please show up and be ready early. Staying on time ensures the maximum number of runs!
TRACK CROSSINGS ARE LIMITED --- You can only access North Paddock between track sessions every 20 to 30 minutes, so you MUST arrive 45 minutes to one hour early, to make sure you are across and ready.
Note that the scheduled sessions times are approximate, and may fluctuate a little as we get closer to the event. When anything changes, we will notify participants.
