1. Thoughts of a Course
Autocross courses should be open enough to allow good competition
between larger and smaller cars, and should not emphasize high
speed, power-to-weight ratio, extreme maneuverability, memory, or
visual acuity. Divisional, Tour, and National Championship events
shall be conducted on a paved surface.
A. The course boundary shall not normally pass closer than 25 feet
from solid objects.
B. A long straight (over 150 feet) should not terminate in an extremely
sharp turn (e.g., a short radius U-turn).
C. the inner and outer limits of turns and corners should be marked by course
markers, displacement of which results in time penalties. Corner
limits must never be marked by curbs, buildings, poles, trees, soft
shoulders or other hazards likely to cause damage to a car.
D. The last turn should be as tight as possible and the finishing straight tightly defined.
E. All corners shall be negotiable without reversing.
F. The course shall be at least 15 feet wide, and single-file slalom
markers shall be at least 45 feet apart. Any series of course markers
which are generally in a line and have the effect of a slalom are
considered to be a slalom. Additional course markers associated
with the slalom markers to form gates, “boxes”, etc., do not cancel
this limit.
G. Cars should leave a gate/turn headed generally in the direction of
the next gate/turn.
2. CHOOSE A PARKING LOT
A. Most events are held in Lot C.
If you are designing a course for a specific date be sure to select the right lot.
Print your selection from the list below, mark the layout you like and send it to:
ACCO
67580 W. Hwy. 20
Bend, OR 97701
B. Bring to the next club meeting or the next event.
(needs to be summited 1 event (month) before your preferred event date.
Competion Director and Safety Steward will make finale decision)
