About this event
<< The Spokes Autocross School >> (see below for TnT info)
Spokes is excited to host an autocross school down in Beeville Texas. This autocross school is primarily intended for novice and intermediate autocrossers, but students of any skill level can sign up.
The curriculum is designed to help you break down autocross into easily digestible pieces. Working with an instructor, you will practice specific core skills the same way a football or basketball player breaks the game down into drills, and then put it all together on a full size autocross course.
There are only 36 spots available in the autocross school. We are intentionally keeping the school small to ensure we provide the best instructional experience possible.
