If you happen to arrive after 9:30am, your registration and inspection may take longer to complete because more of the staff will be conducting track operation after 9:30.

When you arrive, proceed to the paddock (staging area) where the Administrations booth is located. There you will sign the wavier releasing Nate's Auto Racing from any liability. You will then pay for the event. If you Pre-Registered for the event, all applicable discounts will be applied.
After payment your vehicle will be inspected and you will be assigned a number. You are able to choose your own numbers if you want. You have to place the number on both sides of your vehicle. If you don't have a temporary number to place on your vehicle, we will provide you with painters tape.

RACE TIME! Autocross Basics
Autocross is a solo timed event. It tests your ability to handle the car while performing various turns and maneuvering around different obstacles. If you want a fast time you must also be good at accelerating and braking hard to maximize your speed through the course. The course is made of mostly cones. No matter how slow you think you are going, Autocross will give you an adrenaline rush and is sure to get your blood flowing.
​
Be sure that your seat and seat belts are adjust properly. Racing gloves are recommended.
​
Once at the start line you will wait for the course director to tell you to go. When you are given the ok it is time to press the gas and accelerate to the first turn or obstacle.
Look for the pointer cones to guide you around and through the obstacles.
This is why it is important to arrive early and do your Course Walk so you know the course and can discuss the fastest line with other participants.
​
Below are some examples of some gates and obstacles that are in most Autocross courses. The arrows indicate how you navigate through or around the cones.

Your time will start when you pass the timing cone which is near the start line. Proceed through the course and your time will stop when you pass through the finish gate. All times will be recorded so you can take the steps to improve your time and see how you stack up against the competition or your friends.

The important thing to do is to be Safe and have fun!
