Event Outline

General Event Information

The Corvette Club of Iowa is hoisting an introduction to autocross course.  This course is for people who want to get into autocross, but where concerned they did not know all the rules and requirements.  We will cover everything you need to know to get you started in autocross. Bring a chair.

If you are not into driving and thinking about being a course worker, this is the event for you as well.  We will teach you radio protocol and course penalties.  After the course, there will be a matching time low speed autocross to try your new skills for both drivers and workers.

A matching time low speed autocross is about consistency versus fast time.  Each event will consist of three runs each.  Your score will be the difference in time between your two closest runs in each event.  The lowest time difference is the winner.  The matching time autocross will be a limited to 25 cars.  This is a Corvette Club sponsored event and competitors driving Corvettes will have priority over non-corvette entrants.  Slow and steady will win the race.  This will be a relaxed atmosphere to try your hand at autocross.  The Club will have loaner helmets available.  Electric vehicles are not eligible to participate in the MT autocross.  Corvette E-Rays are eligible to compete. 

After the matching time autocross there will be a car show at the south side of the casino.  This car show will be limited to members of the Corvette Club of Iowa.  If you are not a member and want to participate, this would be a good time to join the Corvette Club of Iowa.

All listed times are Central Daylight Times (CDT).  Driver’s license is required for matching time autocross. Snell 2015 certified or newer helmets with current certification are required for all speed events.  All minors and pets are the responsibility of the parent/owner.  All NCCC western region permanent numbers will be supported, all other car number assignment will be done at event registration.  No class changes after tech closes unless a mechanical malfunction is experienced.  No firearms allowed on the event property.
