Autocross is a high speed, timed, handling event. It is set up as a small road course on a large parking lot or aircraft taxi way. Courses in Southern California are between 1/2 to a mile long. Cars enter the course one at a time and are spaced out to minimize risks to competitors and event workers.
Typically there are 10 to 14 championship events per year in the LA area. These are open to anyone with a valid drivers license and a SCCA member. However you can purchase a discount weekend membership at the event if you just want to drive in one or two of our events. If you want to enter several events each year, it may be cheaper to purchase a regular yearly membership with SCCA.
Championship events draw from 150 to 300 or more entrants. Practice events and schools are also conducted each year. These have varying entry requirements and are limited to smaller numbers of participants.
