Ever thought about autocrossing your daily or have a weekend car you think would be great to push a little harder than the streets will allow? Thanks to Archie Cochrane Ford this is your chance. Motorin' at the Metra is a one day autocross event where registration fees will be waived for all participants up to 100 registered drivers. Yellowstone SCCA will be officiating the event and all normal SCCA rules will be followed.

All competitors and passengers will be asked to show a valid ID at registration.

Please contact the registrar here or Yellowstone Region SCCA with any questions or concerns.
Event requirements
A Valid driver’s license is required for all drivers.
To participate as a minor you are not required to be a member of the SCCA, minors are required to have a current year Annual SCCA Minor Waiver filed with the SCCA before the start of the event. All minor waivers are now available on the SCCA website and can be filled out and filed electronically.
Be sure to tell us at check-in if you are new to autocross, so we can get an experienced driver to show you the ropes.
Setup is at 6:30 am. On-site registration and pre-registration check-in are open from 7:30 to 8:45 am. We accept cash or credit card only. Please be there on time as late registrations may not be accepted. If your car needs tech inspection, please be there by 7:30. We hold a MANDATORY driver’s meeting at 9:00am and start running shortly after. All drivers MUST attend the meeting in order to participate. Please try to arrive at the event site no later 7:45am to ensure you have time for registration/check-in, getting your car ready, and walking the course before the meeting. We generally take a short lunch break about noon and wrap up the day around 4:00 pm.
There will not be consessions available please plan accordingly.
All competitors are required to perform work assignments when they're not running. Failure to do so could result in disqualification. If you have a special circumstance, such as a disability, please make the event staff aware at registration check-in. If anyone is working in your stead, they also need to attend the drivers meeting.
Virtually any vehicle is eligible for autocross, provided it is in generally good mechanical condition & the wheel track (center to center of tires) to height does not exceed a 1:1 ratio (no taller than wide, within reason). (Certain venues will have noise restrictions for extremely loud mufflers).
A brief tech inspection will be performed, checking for things like loose wheels, excessive steering slop, spongy breaks, etc. The number one cause of tech failures is not having the battery properly tied down, please double check that before the event (no bungi cords).
The SCCA classes all cars based on what the car is, and what modifications have been done. The SCCA Rulebook (there is a link on our website) contains all the classing information. Please try to class your car before you arrive but feel free to ask at an event or better yet use the “contact us” feature on our website or ask on our Facebook if you need some help classing your car before event day.
