The tight and precise turns of autocross do just that they force drivers to make precise turns and learn vehicle set up, they teach them to read track design, work on timing, steering inputs, quick smooth shifting, vehicle rotation and braking to name a few. So, we believe in a strong foundation for our autocross program. At our home facility we have

both tight turns and long sweeping turns and most cars can utilize gears up to 4th depending upon the vehicle, setup and portion of the track (you could say we’re a bit of a non-traditional autocross who links both road racing and autocross). We run competitive autocrosses as well as drive for fun events at various locations around New England.
