About this event
Join the Roadrunner Region Porsche Club of America at the Midway Lot at EXPO NM! for autocross on April 13, 2024. -- Approximately 4.5 acres with minimal obstructions in a central location, only minutes from I-25 and I-40.
All motorsports enthusiasts are cordially invited to experience the excitement of autocross. Autocross is a performance driving experience around a course marked with traffic cones conducted in a safe environment at relatively low speeds. If you are new to the club, new to your Porsche or other favorite car, want to improve your driving technique, or simply want to enjoy your car, join us. This event is open to all - you don't need to drive a Porsche to participate!
Driver registration will be limited. Priority will be given to Roadrunner PCA members. You may cancel your registration without penalty until registration ends. Everyone entering the event site must sign a release & waiver form.
Entry Fee: (Proposed) $60 for PCA members; $70 for non-PCA members. There is no charge for volunteers, non-driving workers, spectators, or photographers. If registration has closed and you want to come, contact the event coordinator. Drivers will not be charged until the event. There is no charge for canceling until registration closes; however, please let us know if you cancel after the close of on-line registration so someone wait-listed may attend.

Discounted parking passes may be purchased through the EXPO NM Events Office at least one week prior to the event.
NOTE 2: Porsche competitive classes were changed in 2022 to resemble the 2021 Porsche Parade Competition Rules for "Small Sized Autocross". All Porsches will run in the PCA competitive class or the Open Class (X02). All non-Porsches will run in either X01 or X02. The Open Class (X02) is for very experienced drivers of Porsche or non-Porsche cars.

Event requirements
You must have a valid drivers license to attend our driving events and be 18 years of age or older unless you are eligible for the Porsche Junior Participation Program. You also must sign our PCA insurance waiver, and wear a wristband.
Before you can participate in our autocross, your car will need to pass a basic tech inspection. Tech inspection will take place each day before the start of any driving. Most street cars easily pass the inspection. The owner/driver should do a pre-tech inspection (PCAAutocrossSafetyInspectionChecklistMay2020.pdf) no earlier than 4 weeks prior to the event.
Helmets: Snell-rated SA2010, SAH2010, or M2010 or newer helmets are required when driving. Equivalent helmets may be used. Helmets with only DOT may not be used. We have a few loaner helmets which should be requested before the event to ensure availability.
Closed-toe shoes are also required when driving. Hiking boots, cowboy boots, high heels and flip-flops are a bad idea.
This is a "Run/Work" event. That means you are required to work a position when you are not driving during the autocross. We also appreciate any help you can give us before the course walk and during tear-down.
