As an incentive to encourage autocross enthusiasts across the state to participate in their club yearly or series championship,
ACCO created the Oregon Shootout Invitational. Each Class Champion and 1st runner-up from the five clubs are invited in October to compete for yearly bragging rights.

The event is held over two full days of handicap racing (PAX).
PAX is a handicapping method to make every car equal if driven to it potential.

Over two days drivers compete over four courses,
each designed by a different club Competition Director or course designer.

This gives every driver the chance to drive at least one course design they have been familiar with over the season and three new styles.

Their times of the four courses are combined and then multiplied by the PAX based upon the cars category and class.
The driver with the lowest overall PAX time gains bragging rights as the overall driver in Oregon
