About this event
Richmond International Raceway Autocross
April 9th
Saturday, April 9th the Shenandoah Region of the PCA along with Euroclassics Porsche will be able to once again stretch our car’s legs at the Richmond International Raceway. We will be on the ¾ mile course, in the infield, and have full access to the facilities from a unique view. The sights and sounds of this event are like no other, with a ground level look out from the center of the track, and there is nothing like listening to a car running down the back straight at high RPM against 97,000 empty aluminum seats. The is truly a great event and one you will not want to miss if you are into auto-crossing, interested in seeing what your car can do on a track in safe conditions, or just interested into what a 14 degree banked turn feels like. After a couple year break from this venue, we are happy to once again bring this event to the area’s automotive enthusiasts. All makes of cars are welcome to participate and enjoy the event with us, registration is limited to 60 entries.
