What is an Autocross?
For those of you who are new to the club or have never been to an autocross event before, you’re probably wondering what an autocross is. An autocross is a test of your ability to drive your car, as fast as you can, around a marked out course. Events are held in large open spaces and all of our events are held on the disused airfield at Fort Devens in Ayer, MA. The course is marked out with small rubber cones and a single run of the course typically takes about 60-80 seconds. Although an autocross is a timed event and the fastest drivers win, each car races separately against the clock, and therefore there is no chance of making contact with another car.
