This is great fun - no experience necessary. Drive your MINI around the coned course against the clock!

Register HERE on or after April 20 (Link will be active then)

HSCC members $25, non-members $30
Morning session ONLY - should be at least 6 runs and will be mostly for MOTD MINIs. Afternoon session is Test & Tune with more HSCC cars. Since everyone is coming into this at varying skill levels and with varying mods on their MINIs (different classes), no trophies will be awarded. You're competing against the clock trying to get lower times each run. IMPORTANT: You will get an email when sign up is open on the HSCC website.

Location:
Jerry Sutton Training Center
225 Industrial Park Loop
Franklin, NC

Additional Information:

Helmets: Required to wear a Snell 2000 or later SM or SA certified helmet. HSCC will have loaners available. DOT certifications are not recognized.

Insurance Waiver: Everyone on site will be required to sign an insurance waiver, driver or spectator (same as all SCCA Solo events).

Workers: For these events to work, everyone will also have a work assignment when their run group is not active. We will have experienced autocrossers with all of the novices if they are assigned to shagging cones.

Car Numbers: Numbers need to be on both sides and readable at a distance when the car is on course. Numbers can photocopied onto paper and affixed to car with painters tape. You can print your own (see this section on HSCC website) or there will be materials (numbers and tape) available at the event. Choose your number when registering on MotorsportsReg.com. Duplicates are obviously not allowed.

Technical Inspection: All cars will have to pass the standard SCCA Solo tech inspection. Tech will close at 10:00 am. Be prepared by having all loose items removed from the car including the drivers side floor mat, car un-locked, hood and rear hatch open. Some tech items:
  • Tires should have no cord showing
    Brakes – Fluid at proper level and firm pedal
    Seat belts in good operating condition
    No excessive fluid leaks
    Wheel bearings, shocks, suspension and steering in good condition

  • Car Classes: Cars will be classed according to SCCA Solo Rules (available on HSCC website). Choose your class when registering on MotorsportsReg.com. Most non-modified MINIs will be in D Street class (DS). Modified MINIs will be classed in DSP, STM or other, deepending on mods. If you have questions, see Car classes or check with event staff on-site. If you are new to Autocrossing, you can run in Novice Class, which adds an 'N" before your car class, and you will compete times against all other Novice drivers, regardless of car class.
