Welcome to the first Track Club USA Autocross of the abbreviated 2020 season, after the COVID-19 shutdown. If you haven't ever been to one of our events, you will not be disappointed! TCUSA events feature lots of seat time by limiting participation to approximately 60 cars! Typically you will have 10+ runs.
