Autocross consists of a one car at a time making runs against the clock on a closed course marked by cones. Each run takes about one minute. Speeds are low to medium, generally below 70 mph and driven in second gear. Time penalties are added for disturbing cones or skipping gates.

Events are open to Porsche drivers, PCA members in non-Porsches, BMW-CCA members, guests of PCA members, and everyone else. PCA members get priority in the event of an over-subscribed event. You do not need to be a PNWR member to compete for points, but points are not assigned in the Time Only Class (non-Porsches and a few drivers not running in the regular classes).

All participants are also volunteers. Unlike some other NW-region autocross event, PCA autocross events are full-day commitments. If you are not driving in a given run group, you are required to fill a 'work assignment' during the runs of your fellow competitors. Do not expect to attend only the morning, or only the afternoon, of the event.

Online pre-registration opens 15 days before the event, and closes PROMPTLY at 5pm on the Friday before the event. You must pre-register here (MotorsportReg.com) AND on https://scorekeeper.wwscc.org/register/pca2023. You must have a valid credit card on file with MotorsportReg.com. You will be charged for your entry on the Monday after the event. If you do pre-register but do not attend or do not get timed runs then we will not charge your credit card. Arrive on-site between 7am and 8:30pm. On-site tech inspections close at 9am. You'll either drive in the morning and volunteer in the afternoon, or vice versa. Scored runs should end around 2:30pm and if the conditions are right there may be fun runs between 2:30pm and 4:00pm for registered participants.

Registration for the event is a 2-step process. Registration on MotorsportReg will take care of payments. You MUST ALSO register on the scorekeeper website (https://scorekeeper.wwscc.org/register/pca2023).
