Jason72 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Anyone have any videos or pics of their car on an auto Cross or road course? Not too many on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragginwagon467 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I do not. I have auto-crossed my station wagon, what a riot that was...throttle induced oversteer. In right hand corners, you could literally watch the rubber fly off the left tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf racing Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Give me a year... 🙂 I plan on doing some Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car events with my wife in her Camaro once the Monte is finished. Autocross is one of the five events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorDog72 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I think it goes without saying, this probably isn’t the best platform to try autocross with. How I see it in my head: Titanic vs Iceberg. 😂 It can definitely be done though. There is a guy I’ve seen at the Syracuse Nationals with a 68 Riviera. I follow him on Instagram @ripnriv. Here’s a couple pics of his car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 They are not bringing that back again this year and think it's gone for ever. I know a guy with a firebird that loved running it there. They claim they need the room for trailers and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boyte Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 We used to really enjoy watching the autocross . At that time there was a woman who was the top competitive driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The below is from the Carlisle Events GM Nationals show link: rob Open Autocross Runs Hosted by the Cumberland Valley Corvette Club The only thing better than a show-ready ride is a show-ready ride on the race track! The on-site autocross allows drivers to run the road course and compare their times to each other. Even better, it is free! Enthusiasts are able to make 3 timed runs consisting of 2 laps each. Times are provided to compare with other drivers. 2021 Open Autocross Schedule Friday: 10AM - 2PM Saturday: 11AM - 2PM Any vehicles looking to participate must register at the track and pass tech. Participants must have a registered (and street legal) car on the GM Nationals showfield, be 18 years of age or older and have a valid license and insurance. Participants are REQUIRED to bring their own helmets for safety. You will be unable to participate if you don't have one. Helmets are REQUIRED. Helmets must be SNELL Foundation certified, either “SA” (Special Application),“SAH” (Special Application Helmets Configured for use with frontal head restraints), “M” (motorcycle), or “EA” (Elite Automotive Sports). A SNELL foundation rating of “K” (karting) is NOT allowed. A DOT approval is not sufficient without the SNELL certification. A helmet from the second previous testing cycle is also allowed if it is SNELL certified and has a manufacture date less than ten (10) years old. e.g., in the year 2014, SNELL ratings of SA2005 or M2005 and SA2010 or M2010 will be legal. In addition, a SA2000 or M2000 helmet would be legal until they exceed 10 years of age. *Due to safety concerns, stock height SUVS and trucks may be excluded from autocross. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The autocross, they tried it for a couple years at the nationals but they say they need the room for campers and the interest just wasn't there. The nationals will still on. Great show if you ever get a chance to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so many cars there, I'm surprised they tried it at all. You really need a whole parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now they have so many of us campers they use that as an overflow but dry camping only no hook ups or water or electric. It's near where they park the car haulers.
