NNJR-PCA Autocross April 2nd 2017

MetLife Stadium

About this event

This event will be NNJR-PCA's first 2017 Autocross --- at MetLife Stadium, Lot J

Welcome back to our premier facility!  Big fast courses.

Please read all information and download and read all linked forms. 

Registration Tent/Event opens at 7:45 AM.

This will be an exciting day of autocross.  We will set a course that creates a challenging and safe autocross environment.

This event continues NNJR-PCA's new format.  Everyone has asked "how can i get more runs / driving time?".  The only feasible answer is to have fewer participants, and correspondingly charge  a bit more. So we are placing a limit on registrations (max = 70), and expect to give everyone significantly more time on the track - we estimate 8-11 runs each. (This will vary based on the weather, timing issues, worker promptness, etc..)

Note: we are also considering a 3-heat format similar to SCCA's in which you drive one heat, work one heat and have off one heat (lunch, spectating...)

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 :-)

Our events are open to non-PCA members and non-Porsche cars, though we reserve the right to limit registration when attendance approaches 70.

Fees are $70 for PCA Members or $75 for non-PCA members, if you register and pay online.  On-site registration and payment carries a $10 surcharge.  If you do register on-site know your class and have exact cash or check! We will not have change.

Please see nnjr-pca Website (link below) for Car Classification Details

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.

All you need is a car (does not even need to be a Porsche), and yourself!  You should have appropriate shoes (driving shoes or sneakers are fine...no open toe shoes).  Short-sleeves and shorts are OK.  If you have a 2010/15 SA or M rated helmet, please bring it.  Otherwise, we have a few loaner helmets available.
