NER's Autocross School is for novice drivers ONLY! If you have previously attended more than 4 autocrosses, you must obtain special permission to register!
Event Requirements:
- Minimum age 16 with a valid driver's license (not a permit) and parental consent and one parent attending event, 18 years of age otherwise.(see below for forms)
- Helmets - Helmets with a SNELL 2010 or later sticker are required. Snell types M (motorcycling), K (kart racing), and SA (competitive auto sports) are all acceptable. Helmets certified by the FIA are also permitted. We have about 7 loaner helmets if you need one – various sizes – first come, first served.
- Your car must be able to pass a technical inspection, which includes tires with visible tread, secure lug nuts and operable seat belts (factory installed belts are a minimum). No other special equipment is required.
- Roll bars or factory rollover devices, such as the roll hoops in Boxsters, are required for all open cars using R compound tires and swing axle automobiles (e.g. 356).
- Cars will be tested with a sound meter and noise should never exceed 10 db over the ambient noise level as measured at two designated off-track locations.
Again this year 16 and 17 year-old children of region members can participate in autocross events (must have full license, not a permit). To be eligible, permission forms, which can be found on the PCA website, must be obtained and signed by the entrant's parents. If you have questions about the forms, email the registrar, Jeff Johnson at autocrossreg@porschenet.com.
