Event requirements
Event requirements for registration:
- $25 registration fee.
- Only 50 Pre-Registered drivers are able to attend, no walk up registration.

- The intent of this school is to provide instruction to people that are relatively new to the sport of autocross. The school will be initially limited to people with 10 or less events of autocross experience. The region also recognizes the desire for more experienced drivers who still want to improve their skills as well and we would like to accommodate as many of those people as well once the less experienced people are accommodated. To support anyone who would desire one on one instruction provided by an experienced local autoxer should feel free to sign up but please be aware that entrants with 10 events or less will be accommodated first, on a first come first serve basis. This means you may initially be given an entry spot only to be later moved to the wait list if you don’t meet the 10 event or less eligibility requirement. Additionally, even if you have 10 events or less of experience you may initially be placed on wait list but we will do our best to accommodate as many of you as possible. We ask everyone to be respectful to the intent of this school (i.e. it is not intended to be a test and tune as everyone will be assigned an instructor) and also be flexible with us as we deal with unforeseen situations.
