TrackCross is a like Autocross, however instead of driving around cones in a parking lot, participants are driving around the technical (i.e. "twisty") section of the Dominion Raceway Road Course. TrackCross speeds are a little faster than a typical Autocross event, and like Autocross, cars are staged so that there is no chance of two cars colliding into one another. Runs are timed so that you can monitor your progress, AND also compare your times with other participant's times. There are no work assignments. The event is held rain or shine.
Number Of Runs: The number of runs depends on many variables, including car counts, course design/length, weather, and the number of problems/cleanups. There is a reconnaissance lap in the morning, and your first run in each session (i.e. morning session and afternoon session) is a “warm-up” lap and doesn’t count toward the results. After the warm-up lap in each session, 3 to 5 runs per session is average. It can be more if things are running smoothly and/or in the afternoon runs when time allows, but it’s usually not less unless things have really gone wrong. So, you can usually expect at least 6-10 runs total.
Experience Level: While previous performance driving experience is NOT "required", our TrackCross events are NON-INSTRUCTED events. So, it is important that participants have at least a basic understanding of performance driving techniques and concepts; and having actual hands-on prior experience is very beneficial. There will be a 30-minute Classroom Session to review some basic performance driving concepts and techniques, and this session is mandatory for those without previous participation in organized performance driving events.
NOTE: The Novice Classroom Session will cover only the very basics of performance driving. If you would like, OR, feel you need, more in-depth and/or in-car instruction, please register for one of our HPDRE events instead ( Click Here For HPDRE Events )
During the registration process, you will need to designate whether you have participated in 5 or more autocross and/or road course performance driving events within the last 2 years, and if you have, you will need to bring documentation of those events to Check-In. If you do not have that previous experience, you will be classified as a "Novice" and will need to attend the Novice Classroom Session.
ENTRY FEE: The entry fee is just $125 in-advance (up through 6-days in advance), and $145 beginning 5-days before the event. Registration is limited to 80 cars (two 40-car heats in the morning, then each group again in the afternoon) so everyone gets plenty of runs.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course start and finish points may change during lunch, and/or, from event to event, for variety. The start-line can be anywhere from the braking markers into Turn 1 all the way down to the exit of Turn 2. The finish-line can be anywhere from the braking point into Turn 7 all the way up to the exit of Turn 12.
