JUNE 11th (Sunday) Autocross in Sunrise, FL. - Bank Atlantic Center
What is Autocross?
Autocross is a sport of trying to navigate your car through a defined course of pylons usually on a large parking lot, faster than your competition. Autocross courses are set up using soft orange traffic pylons which will not damage your car, but they do melt!!! Events are run at speeds usually between 40-65 MPH, usually in 2nd gear. Autocross is a "performance driving event" and 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 brakes
Learn correct seating, hand, and feet positions
Learn the limits of your car's tire adhesion
DETAILS:
This is a PCA (Porsche Club of America) event, but all are welcome (a/k/a X-Class). Keep in mind that "X-Class" registrations are NOT accepted onsite! You must pre-register online to secure one of the limited number of X-Class positions available at the event. They require that you where a helmet, but I confirmed that they do have loaners available. Also, if you have car numbers, bring them. If not, they can be made up on site.
Where
The autocross will be held in the parking lot of the Bank Atlantic Center (formerly known as: Office Depot Center), in Sunrise.
Directions to the Bank Atlantic Center
How
Drivers can register for the autocross online at DriverRegistration.com Very easy to register.
X-Class (Non-Porsche vehicles) drivers MUST register online to secure one of the limited X-Class positions available.
When/ Schedule
Sunday, June 11th, 2006
9:15 am registration and tech opens and course available for walking
10:15 Novice course walk
11:15 MANDATORY driver meeting
11:30 work/ run assignments and staging
Noon 1st car out
End time is around 5:00 - plan on 6-10 runs depending on the # of entrants. Novice entrants will be coached/ assisted by instructors and/or experienced AutoX-ers. It's all about fun! I Look forward to meeting fellow enthusiasts!
