About this event
StratoCross is Edmonton's very own Autocross competitions held at Stratotech Raceway, just 15 minutes north of Edmonton. Compete just for fun or go for the win in one of the 4 classes!
What is an Autocross? It's a race against the clock (as opposed to wheel-to-wheel) around a unique course defined by pylons. It is one of the safest and lowest cost motorsports you can get into.
All are welcome to participate at this event, from the complete novice with their daily driver to the seasoned pro with a fully built race car. No racing experience or special equipment, other than a helmet, is required.
Karts are permitted at these events!
