About this event
Welcome Autocrossers!
Join us for a great day of autocrossing at world famous Pocono Raceway. Pocono is about 100 miles from Philly, NYC and most of Central PA, so it is doable same day, or come Saturday and make a weekend out of it! Even closer from NE PA and Central NJ.
This event will be a one day event on the 'East" course (infield) on Sunday, July 19th.
Memberships with NNJR-PCA, RTR-PCA, and Central PA PCA will all be honored for this event. All autocrossers from all clubs are welcome but pay the non-member entry fee.
We will support PCA classes and SCCA PAX at this event.
It is important that you class your car properly. Classes allows fair competition and "PAXes" work like golf handicaps. The classing document is linedk below. Find your car and pay close attention to modificaitons whcih determine if you are in Stock (what it soudns like), Production or Modified.
At worst, select "FUN" (whcih is non-competitive). However its much more fun to get a real calss, real times and adjusted PAX times that you can compare. And maybe win your class :-)
This event is operated by and run under the rules of NNJR-Porsche Club of America.

Autocross is also a great venue to learn how to drive your car and learn - car control, proper braking techniques, how to calculate the proper line, and how your car handles at the limit (or beyond), all in a safe environment. We will have instructors available to coach you. (Be sure to talk to your instructor about what you want to learn.)
It's also a great & FUN way to learn your car's true potential, and have a fun day with your friends - even if you are not a "competitive" autocrosser.
But don't be surprised if the friendly competition grows on you :-)
PCA members pay the member rate. A PCA membership number is required. Others pay a premium as per the registration prices. There is no on-site registration.
If you do not want to deal with the complexities of classing your car, simply select "FUN" - you will still receive your times, but you will not be competing with others in a class.
If you do not know your class, documents are available on the PCA and SCCA websites
