About this event
Speedway Autocross at Albany Saratoga Speedway
A.M.E.C. will be holding a "high" speed autocross on the pavement of Albany Saratoga Speedway 4/10ths mile oval. This is not your usual parking lot deal with tight gates and twisty corners. This is for people who like to open it up and carry some speed through the pylon gates as they traverse the recently uncovered asphalt in Malta. See www.icerace.com for details.
AMEC is proud to have Denooyer Performance as our 2010 AMEC Albany Saratoga Speedway Autocross sponsor.
