About this event
The North Hills Sports Car Club is hosting our 42nd Annual Autumn Leaf Autocross on Sunday, September 25th, 2022 at the North Park Swimming Pool Parking Lot near Pittsburgh, PA. Our Fall Leaf event is a tradition that dates back to 1979 when we helped the local Shelby Club race AC Cobras and GT-350s, and it has been one of the most popular events on our calendar ever since.
Your entry fee gets you a full day of racing in a beautiful park setting, a commemorative T-shirt and a Bar-B-Que Awards Dinner afterward where we award trophies for the top spots in each class. If you’d like to bring the whole family, there is a playground for the kids and additional dinner guests are only $10.
On-line Registration Fees
Members and Non-Members: $42.75 (Includes MSR Fees)
On-Site Registration Fees (Cash or Credit Card)
Members and Non-Members: $40.00

All North Hills Sport Car Club autocross participants are required to wear a SNELL rated helmet while on course. We accept the current as well as the previous 3 generations of Snell ratings. (2015, 2010, 2005, 2000). DOT helmets are not permitted.
Drivers must sign all waiver forms and be aware that they are liable for any damage that he/she negligently causes to the person(s) or property of other entrants, course workers, spectators, or to their own vehicle. Anyone refusing to pay for such damage will be barred from further competition.

We require visible car and class numbers at all of our events. Each competitor shall have numbers and class markings at least 8" tall on their vehicle. The numbers and car color should contrast. If you are a novice and do not know what class or number you are running, we will ask you to use a neon paint stick to write numbers on your window or use paper and large marker and tape to inside of side windows.
If you are a novice and do not know what class or number you should be in, pick a class here that you think your car is eligible to compete in and when you arrive to the event Sunday morning, notify Registration (found at the Club's trailer) that you need help determining your class, we are always willing to help. If you choose a class that is not correct, the North Hills Sports Car Club reserves the right to re-class your vehicle based on the SCCA Classification Rules.
Every vehicle entering an event must be presented for a Technical Inspection prior to each event. Tech Inspectors have the right to reclassify any vehicle due to obvious illegal modifications. The entrant must report such reclassification to Registration immediately. Technical Inspection shall close at 10:00 A.M. Any car not appearing for technical inspection by that time shall forfeit their first run.
