About this event
Twickenham Auto Club's Advanced Autocross School
You're invited to participate in TAC's Advanced Autocross School. This school is geared toward autocrossers with moderate experience level, not a beginner course. Maybe you want to break past a plateau, or just practice with an instructor. The school will start on Friday evening with an in-depth classroom session, led by multi-national champion, Steve Brolliar. Saturday will consist of a considerable amount of seat time with focus on mastering standard individual features (drills, not simply course runs). A timed autocross course will also be set up where you will learn to combine features and put it all together. You'll learn how to find the best line, and how to properly execute this line. The day will be devoted to improving your skill set.
Date
September 27-28, 2019
Registration, Entry Cap, and Waitlist

Event requirements
Requirements

- Autocrossers under the age of 18 will be required to have a parent or legal guardian sign a minor's competition waiver. Waivers are available at the trailer during registration.
- Helmets are required, but we have loaners available.
- Bring proof of payment.

Sound Policy
TAC/TVR has a strict sound policy, due to our residential location and agreement with the Milton Frank Stadium owners. Your car must not be louder than 96 dB without exception. Sound will be monitored approximately 50 feet from the course. The type of exhaust (stock vs aftermarket) is not restricted, but it must not exceed 96 dB. If your car exceeds 96 dB on a run, you will be notified, the run will be scored as a DNF, and not allowed to run again. If you show that a modification has been made to reduce noise (driving at half throttle does not count), then you will be allowed to run again. If your car exceeds the limit a second time, you will not be allowed to run for the rest of the day. We want EVERYONE to have a great day autocrossing, please make this easy by fixing your car before the event!
