Autocross racing, also known as solo racing or autocrossing, is a popular form of motorsport that involves racing against the clock on a closed course, typically a large parking lot or an open area with traffic cones defining the course. Unlike traditional circuit racing, autocross events are not wheel-to-wheel races, and competitors take turns navigating through a precisely laid-out course one at a time.
Here are some key features of autocross racing:
Solo Racing: In autocross events, drivers compete individually, and the goal is to complete the course as quickly as possible without hitting any cones or missing gates.
Cones and Gates: The course is marked with traffic cones and gates that serve as a guide for drivers. Hitting a cone or knocking over a gate results in time penalties.
Precision and Skill: Autocross emphasizes precision driving, car control, and the ability to navigate through a tight, often twisty course. It's a test of a driver's skill, as well as the car's handling characteristics.
Variety of Vehicles: Autocross is known for its inclusivity, as a wide range of vehicles can participate, from everyday commuter cars to high-performance sports cars. Classes are often organized based on a car's performance potential, allowing competitors to race against similar vehicles.
Low Speeds: Autocross courses are designed to be relatively low-speed, typically featuring tight turns and slaloms, with speeds rarely exceeding 60 mph (97 km/h). This makes autocross a safer form of motorsport compared to high-speed circuit racing.
Accessibility: Autocross is a more accessible and budget-friendly form of motorsport compared to other types of racing, as it typically doesn't require expensive modifications to a vehicle. Participants often use their daily drivers or lightly modified cars.
Local Events: Autocross events are commonly held at the regional and local levels, making it easy for automotive enthusiasts to get involved in the sport.
Time Trials: Autocross events are time trials, where each driver's run is timed, and the fastest time wins. Typically, competitors get multiple runs, and their best time counts.
Autocross is a great way for car enthusiasts to improve their driving skills, test their cars in a safe and controlled environment, and enjoy a competitive atmosphere without the high risks and costs associated with other forms of motorsport. It's often considered a fun and accessible entry point into the world of racing and motorsports.

Not only are Matt and his dad Ray great mechanics, they are fantastic guys, and a blast to be around. They share their knowledge and skill and are very fair with the work they perform as owners of MT Pockets. I should know; they've done some wonderful custom fabrication for me.
