About this event
Join Tar Heel Sports Car Club (THSCC) for one or two days of autocross at the North Carolina Center for Automotive Research (NCCAR) in Garysburg, NC. This two mile long race track allows us to set up a safe, fast, and long course on some of the grippiest tarmac in North Carolina.
Both days will count as THSCC individual points events. We will set up a different course on each day. This is also the second weekend in the "Beast of the East" competition between THSCC and NCR-SCCA, so come support your club and we'll find out who is the fastest!
- Saturday, Sept 26th - THSCC Points Event #7
- Sunday, Sept 27th - THSCC Points Event #8
Check out some videos from previous NCCAR events to see what it's like.

Full program policies and classing details: thscc.com/programs/autocross/rules
Drivers, Passengers, and Spectators
Everyone who enters the site must sign the waiver at the gate and will receive a wristband.
All participants (Drivers and Passengers) must be at least 16 years of age and hold a valid drivers license.
There is no fee for spectating, Spectators may ride along with experienced drivers (not with novices), but they must sign the ride along waiver and receive a ride along wrist band first. Spectators are only allowed in approved areas, not on course. Children must be supervised and pets must be on a leash or within an enclosure.
Classing and Numbers
All vehicles must properly display the class and number they are registered under. Numbers and letters must contrast with the vehicle's color so they are easy to read. Numbers must be at least 8" tall and letters must be at least 4" tall. Class and number must be displayed on both sides of the vehicle.
Novice drivers should use “NOV” or “N” plus their number instead of their full class. Please bring tape or other materials to mark both sides of your car.
Vehicle and Helmet Tech Inspection
All drivers must wear a helmet that meets SNELL 2010 or newer certification. We do have loaner helmets available but they may need to be shared if many people want to use them, so please bring your own helmet if you have one.
All vehicles must pass tech inspection or have received 2026 THSCC annual tech inspection.
Check this page for details on what will be checked in tech inspection and on annual tech: https://www.thscc.com/programs/autocross/tech-inspection
When your car is ready for tech, open the hood, trunk, any battery access panels, and leave your helmet out for inspection. A roving tech worker will come by to inspect the car, when they are done and if your car has passed, they will place a small sticker in the upper corner of the windshield. If there is an issue with your car or equipment, the tech worker will leave a note with an explanation.
