The NER Autocross Special Event, scheduled on Sunday, August 15, 2021, is not included in the season registration. Details about the Autocross Special Event will be issued prior to the event when limitations based on coronavirus restrictions have been determined. Registration for that event is currently scheduled to open on Sunday, July 4, 2021.
By signing up for the season, you are NOT REQUIRED to attend every event. You will be required to sign SpeedWaivers online for each event you do attend. If you choose not to attend any specific event, please notify the registrar by Wednesday midnight before that event so we may revise work assignments.
Autocross COVID-19 Protocols are required for all events this season until further notice and may change between events. It is critical that you carefully read the current protocols prior to the event to help it run smoothly. They may be found on the NER website. These protocols must be observed by all attendees and will be strictly enforced to ensure the safety of all participants. If this is your first NER event since 2019 there is obviously a learning curve to this process, so being patient will go a long way to keeping the event as fun as usual as was proven last season.
Season Championship:
Anyone who participates in 4 of the 5 events will be eligible for the season championship for their class based on the car they drive. See the NER website for full championship and points details. A special Season Championship trophy will be awarded at the NER PCA Annual Dinner in January (attendance is encouraged but not required).
What is Autocross?
Autocross is a sport of navigating your car through a defined course of pylons faster than your competition. Events are run at speeds usually between 40-65 MPH, usually in second gear. Unlike some other venues, we are extremely fortunate to have access to one of the premier autocross venues in the Northeast. Where many clubs are consigned to parking lots, we are privileged to be able to design courses that regularly exceed 1.25 miles in length with runs lasting well over a minute. You'd be amazed at how much excitement can be packed into 60 seconds.
Autocross is not only a "performance driving event", but a safe way to learn how to drive your car at its limit. You not only learn how to handle your car at speeds that you drive daily, but you also:
- Gain confidence in your driving ability
- Learn the limits of your car's tire adhesion
- Learn the limits of your car's brakes
- Learn correct seating, hand, and feet positions
Autocross is a great way to exercise your driving skills in a safe environment. For anyone that would like assistance, there will be instructors available to work with you at every event. Each autocross has a different and unique course design and will undoubtedly provide you with a fun driving experience. Autocross courses are set up using soft orange traffic pylons which will not damage your car. Finally, Autocross is a social gathering of new and old friends and LOTS OF FUN!!!
