APEX HPDE & GSPEED present ROAD-X at MSR 1.3 CW

Motorsport Ranch - Cresson

About this event


 

Welcome to Road X!

What?

Road X is an autocross on a real race track! There are cones, fewer of them, allowing for higher speeds and more fun! Imagine an autocross with banking, rumble strips and elevation.

Why?

The surface at race tracks is far superior to your average parking lot. This makes for more exciting corners and driving elements. Also, the option to not work at our event is very different from your typical autocross/solo event.

Where?

Motorsport Ranch in Cresson TX. A Country Club for motoring enthusiasts – including sports cars, race cars, and motorcycles. Established in 1996, the Ranch introduced and pioneered this new concept. Just as a golf country club centers its activities around a golf course, this club centers around a purpose-built road racing course. Two courses, actually, as a second road course has been added to the facility.

Think of MotorSport Ranch as a place that its members go to satisfy that “need for speed”. Many people own a sports or high-performance car, or even a vintage race car. The Ranch is a place to explore the potential of these cars and for the drivers to develop and practice their skills. The Ranch offers convenience and accessibility for its members who do are able to treat performance driving as a sport or a hobby.

Saturday, October 9th. 8am-5pm

Event requirements


 

Basic requirements include:
 - Licensed drivers aged 16 and up (under 18? parent or guardian must accompany you)
 - Helmet, rated Snell 2015 or better (you can rent one from us if you do not have one)

 - Your track-worthy passenger car (such as sedan, coupe, station wagon, etc.) No SUVs, no pick-ups, no vans permitted
 

Before each event, drivers will need to perform a Tech Inspection on their car. This is required before each and every event, even if you just looked at your car last week or last month. This is for the safety of our instructors, your fellow drivers, and most of all - for you. This inspection can be done by you, your friends, or any qualified mechanic. Note that an in-car fire extinguisher is no longer required. Remember that driving your car on a real race track will involve some wear and tear on your vehicle. You'll need to look over your car after the event in case of tire or brake wear, etc.
