Autocross
Timed competition in your daily driver
Drive your own car through a technical course laid out with traffic cones on a track or other large paved area. One car on course at a time, speeds stay under 70 mph, and you get multiple runs to improve.
Tech Inspection
How do you know if your car will pass tech inspection at a THSCC autocross? Most cars that are in good enough condition to drive on the public roads are in good enough condition to autocross safely. Check this list, and if you still have any questions, email axtech@thscc.com
Annual Tech
If you are NOT a novice, you are eiligible for annual tech. Print out one of these forms, inspect your car, and fill it out. On the morning of an event leave the filled out form on your drivers seat. When a tech inspector comes around to check your car for the day, if you pass tech, they will sign the form and leave you an annual tech sticker. Keep the annual tech form and place the sticker somewhere easily visible like in the lower corner of the windshield.
