Registration is now open for the NCR Autocross Season as well as for the individual NCR local Autocross events (except for NCR Autocross #5). NCR Autocross #5 is the PCA Zone 1 Autocross on September 15-16. The Zone1 event is not included in the Season Registration but is included in the Season Point Series. Registration for that event is handled by PCA Zone 1. Season Registration is open to PCA members only. All other events are open to any licensed driver. Season Registration Cost is $175 for five autocross events. Individual events are $40-45 for PCA members.

Online registration is required (closes Wednesday night before each event). There will be no on-site registration.

All NCR Autocross events, including the PCA Zone 1 Autocross, take place at the Moore Airfield in Ayer, MA. We usually run a full loop course that is over a mile long. We have an excellent Novice program which includes separate Novice classes, guided course walks and free instruction throughout the day.

Determine your NCR class before you register. NCR classes have changed this year and are different than other regions. You can find the NCR Class Chart in the NCR Autocross rules. If you need assistance, contact the registrar.

New for 2018

NCR Porsche Street Category. We have merged the Strict Stock and Production categories into a single Porsche Street Category. The modifications allowed in the NCR Porsche Street Category are identical to those allowed in the PCR Production Category. and very similar to the “Free Modifications” allowed in NER Street Tire classes). This reduces the diversity of Porsches in the same class.

NCR Porsche Champions Class. We added a premier class restricted to NCR Season Champions. All NCR season champions from the 2017 Season will compete in the Porsche Champions class. Any NCR season champion from prior years may also opt to compete in the Porsche Champions class. The Champions class is a Porsche only class however NCR non-Porsche Champions may compete if driving a Porsche. The intent is to provide the best competition for NCR's top drivers as well as leveling the field for other drivers.

Car Control Clinic expanded to provide complete “First Track Day” experience

On April 21^st North Country Region (NCR) will be holding an event of interest to those who have never attended a Driver’s Education(DE) event. “First Track Day” will be held at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS). We are holding this First Track Day event only once this year, and although complete newcomers are welcome to any of our events, this day has a special focus for those with no experience. Unique to this event we will have special extended classrooms as well as a Car Control Clinic (CCC) including time on a skid pad and a braking exercise with emergency lane change maneuver. In the afternoon you will also be spending time on the NHMS 1.6 mile road course with a PCA instructor.

You can register for this event at this link. Look for the NCR Season Opener event and select the Purple Run Group.
