Why Get Your Start at Autocross Sunday?

Autocross Sunday is the place to go to get started in autocross. While it's true it's primarily a championship event for our regional competitors, we also have in place a very welcoming novice program led by our novice coordinator Leonard Cachola. :thumbup:

When a novice first arrives, they'll be introduced to some very fine ladies who will help them get started and gladly answer any questions they may have. They will then be treated to a course walk geared strictly for novices that introduces them to the autocross course and the strategies involved in driving the course. Because they'll be with others who are first timers or relatively new to the sport, they'll find common ground with others on the walk that have the same questions and desires to learn the ropes. :thumbup:

Once the course walk is complete, they'll attend a group safely briefing where safety issues are discussed and working course will be explained in detail. Again, because they'll be with others in the same boat, questions can be answered in welcoming environment as most will be looking for answers to those same questions. :thumbup:

Once the competition begins, novices can avail themselves to yet another feature of having an experienced instructor accompany them as much as needed until they are comfortable going on their own. In fact, an instructor can even take to the drivers seat to demonstrate the proper driving line. These benefits are offered to novices free of charge. :thumbup:

Why are we called Autocross Sunday rather than a championship? We at CSCC wanted to have a name that reflected the attitude that all are welcome, not just those looking for some intense competition. The name Autocross Sunday fits that bill nicely. :thumbup:
