The Tarheel Sports Car Club (THSCC) will hold a non points Autocross event this Saturday at the North Carolina Center for Automotive Research (NCCAR Inc.) located in Garysburg NC.

This will be another awesome autocross on the VDA and road course of NCCAR. This will not be a small looping course we have set up in years past... Instead, we plan on using the VDA and some small portion of the road course to make a fun, fast, 60-ish second course. Launch overlap is GREAT with this configuration too, so expect a decent amount of runs and a well run efficient event

An autocross is a timed, precision driving Motorsports event. Almost any vehicle from a stock street vehicle to an open-wheeled, Formula-style car can be used. (Exceptions are high-profile vehicles such as minivans and SUVs. THSCC also does not allow carts.) The driver of the vehicle does not race wheel-to-wheel against other competitors, but, instead, races against the clock to maneuver the course cleanly and faster than other competitors.

 A course is set up using orange traffic cones. A chalk box is drawn around each cone to indicate its original position. Each driver runs the course one at a time. The clock starts when the driver crosses the start line and stops when the driver crosses the finish line. Any cone knocked down or pushed completely out of its original chalk box adds 2 seconds to the driver's finish time. If the driver fails to complete the course as laid out, he/she receives a DNF (Did Not Finish) instead of a finish time for that run. At the end of the event, only the fastest time (including any penalty) scored by each driver during the day is his/her final score.

This event is open to the public at no cost and the first car is scheduled to hit the track around 10 am Saturday
