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. The school will start on Friday evening with an in-depth classroom session, led by multi-national SCCA 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.

Clarification

This autocross school is Friday and Saturday only.
We are also hosting a stand-alone autocross on Sunday. You must register for that separately.

Sound

We have 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!

Helmets

Helmet requirements per SCCA Solo Rules Section 4.3.1. Snell 2005 and older helmets are no longer acceptable.
