It’s a new year.  Westill need to be safe and follow a few rules, but we are going to run AutocrossUniversity on Saturday April 24 followed by our first Autocross of the seasonon April 25.

Autocross University will be run we our instructorsobserving the students from outside of the car and communicating with eachdriver/student through the FM band in thier car.  Ok, you have to trust us on this one.  With everyone using Bluetooth, XM, Spotifyand Pandora, we arepPretty sure the hardest part will be helping some of usactually locate the FM feature on our stereos.

The weekend events will be held at the Colorado Air andSpace Port formerly known as Front Range Airport.  There is plenty of room to setup a longcourse with a lot of interesting autocross features including Twists, Turns,and Slaloms to challenge your driving skills.

Are you familiar with Autocross?  Autocross is a performance driving experienceconducted in a safe environment at relatively low speeds.  You will not hurt your car and moreimportantly you will not hurt yourself.  Autocrossis a lot fun and provides small doses of adrenaline rush that will keep yousmiling for days.  At the University youwill learn to important control skills from our experienced instructors.  You will gain additional confidence in yourdriving ability, learn the limits of your car’s braking capabilities, practicecorrect seating, hand, feet and vision positions, as well as push and perhapsexceed the limits of your tire’s adhesion capabilities. 

By the way, autocross is a huge social event and a greattime to meet new club members and visit with friends.  We don’t want to lose the social aspect, sospeak louder as we will be observing social distancing.

Autocross University

Our excellent club instructors will work with you byproviding plenty of driving time through three car control exercises.  Learn about car balance through a slalomcourse, throttle steering around two skid pads, and threshold braking andacceleration in a unique triangle exercise. All of this in the morning followed by an afternoon of learning how toautocross using these skills on a full scale autocross course.

Unfortunately, we will not be offering in car instructionwhich means we will not be able to accomodate 16 and 17 year old drivers thisyear. 

2020 Spring Autocrosson Sunday

On Sunday, we return to the airport to run against theclock!   Are you the quickest air cooled 911, Boxster,Turbo, 914, Cayenne?  Run times arearound a minute, which is a long time to hold your breath if you haven’tattended university to learn how to breath! This event is a great chance to try out your new found skills and to competeagainst your friends.
