About this event
For those of you that haven't experience the thrill of autocross, your decision to join us at AUTOCROSS Sunday may just lead to an addiction. Some who try it never leave. Others move on to different forms competition. But there's one thing that all who come have in common ........we're a family who has taken our driving skills to a level that makes us some of the most proficient drivers in the country.
What is Autocross? - Autocross is a safe, relatively low-speed motorsport where drivers must negotiate a course marked by pylons with their cars. Cars are sent out one at time with about 20 seconds between runs. Top speed in autocross is typically no faster than speeds you would find on public roads, thus most cars only need working seat belts and drivers only need a helmet for safety. Courses are typically laid out in empty parking lots or air strips. Our courses are usually about a mile in length and take between 45 seconds and 90 seconds to negotiate. Courses contain a series of elements such as curves, corners, and slaloms that test the driver’s skill and the car’s agility. Cars are separated into classes based on Sports Car Club of America rules for national classes as well as California Sports Car Club supplemental regulations for local classes. Events
are timed and the fastest time in the class wins. For a closer look, check out this excellent video by Stephen Chiang.
What is Autocross Sunday? - For some, Autocross Sunday is our time to show the world, well at least our friends, just how well we're able to negotiate the course in cars we've prepared for competition. This is for bragging rights, plain and simple. For others, it's a time to learn, both about ourselves and our cars. It's about becoming a better driver and a better person. But for all, it's about having fun and making new friends.
No Experience Necessary - While you may have never thought much about improving your driving skills, things you'll learn about your car and yourself may just keep you out of trouble by giving you the tools to negotiate our roads and highways more safely. By participating in an Autocross Sunday, you will become a better driver .......GUARANTEED!
Novices - We at the California Sports Car Club (CSCC) welcome new participants to the sport. Our autoxs are work/run events and our organization is not for profit. We're all volunteers. Everyone pitches-in and shares in the work as well as the fun. It is important that you show up to work on time and complete your work assignment. We realize that getting started can be confusing. To help you get acclimated, a Novice Coordinator will be there to answer questions and help familiarize you with the course and procedures. Course walks to help you with learning the course will leave the starting line @7:45am and during the lunch break. At the completion of the course walk, you'll get a briefing covering course safety and operating procedures. Once the event begins, instructors will be available to
help you as little or as much as you want. We're a very friendly group, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask any of you're fellow participants. A smile and a courteous attitude will go long way toward making you autox experience a great one. For more information to help you get started, check out our novice guide here.

Event requirements
Classing
When choosing your class, you can elect to compete in any of the many established SCCA national classes where times are compared directly to other competitors in your class of similar vehicles
-OR-
You can elect to compete in one of our local, or indexed classes (PAX, RTA, RTF, RTR, CPM, NOV & TO) that feature a wide variety of vehicles in each group.
In order to compare performance in index classes, a PAX, or predetermined multiplier, is applied to your time. The PAX Index is built upon a large national database of SCCA autocross results. The goal of the PAX Index is to take the driver out of the equation and compare only the car’s performance potential. To determine you time for comparison, your vehicle’s PAX index is multiplied against your run time to determine your PAX time. By using this PAX Index, we are able to compare your times against other people who are driving cars that would normally be in other car classes.
Keeping that explanation in mind, when you register:
If you choose to compete in an established national class where you go head to head with you fellow competitors, you will choose the appropriate "class" for your car from the first drop down window and select NONE in the second drop down window.
If you choose to compete in one of our indexed classes (PAX, RTA, RTF, RTR, CPM, NOV & TO) where a PAX multiplier is appied to your time, you will choose your "index class" in the first drop down window, and your PAX modifier (the national class that your car would normally compete) in the second drop down window.
