About this event
Come join us on the Autobahn South Course for our last evening track event of the year.
THIS EVENT WILL START ONE HOUR EARLIER THAN USUAL. Check-in begins at 1:30 p.m.; mandatory drivers' meeting at 3; on track at 4 p.m.
This noncompetitive event is for anyone who wants to improve their driving skills and have fun on track. All you need is a valid driver's license and a car (no trucks or SUVs) in good working order.
The Autobahn South Course is a challenging 2.1-mile circuit with 15 turns designed to test your abilities. Drivers are divided into three run groups by experience: novice (0-2 track days), intermediate (3-5 track days), and advanced (6+ track days). Each run group is scheduled to have three 20-minute sessions; the schedule may be adjusted in response to changing conditions.
The fee for SCCA members is $150; for nonmembers, $165. Not a member? You can join now at scca.com.
Run group assignments are made by SCCA staff after you register. Please include information on your Motorsportreg.com profile about any autocross and non-SCCA track driving experience so you can be assigned to the correct run group.
