Pitt Race Low-Key AutoX #1

Pittsburgh International Race Compl

About this event

The Pitt Race Lowkey Autocross events are low-pressure events for novice drivers, those not ready to go against the clock competitively, or for those tuning their vehicles for an SCCA event. This provides a fun atmosphere to all levels of drivers. These events are timed, but there are no awards, classes, or podiums. It’s you against yourself! Lowkey Autocross, provides a cone course on our 6 acre vehicle dynamics area. These events will put your car control skills to the test, as well as your car set up but without the competitive pressure. Lowkey Autocross’s are open to both fully prepared and stock configuration vehicles except vehicles with a high center of gravity and narrow track. Most SUV's, Cross-Overs, Mini Vans, and 4WD pickup trucks are NOT eligible. Karts are not eligible. Pre-registration is available via motorsportreg.com only. The cost is $40 per driver.

Participants will be issued a wristband and assigned to a run group. The amount of runs per event will vary depending on registration numbers. Pitt Race reserves the right to limit the number of entries for these events.
