I will be limiting the entry list to the first 70-80 cars to sign up. This will allow me to break even with the cost of the event and will also allow us to get 7-10 runs each. So please sign up ASAP. I'm also going to open the signups to the DFW autocross group to fill the entries starting July 1st, 2017. I can guarantee that the event will fill up fast once I do that.

SO sign up and pay before the end of JUNE.


Good article about the benefits a single autox can have on your driving. Doesn't matter if you wanna be the next Ken Block or couldn't care about racing, autocross is a great way to learn car control.

We have our first sponsor. Texas Toyota of Grapevine has agreed to give us a set of TRD lowering springs to raffle off at the event. Give a thanks to them, David Greer and to @LetzROQ for setting this up. These will work on all the twins.

Is this open to non-86 driving friends? Or are you really trying to hold off until July 1st to make it more public?

This is open to non-86 drivers. Have them sign up and pay if they want to drive.

The July 1st date is when I open it up to all the DFW AutoX people. Those that do this every weekend or the "pros" if you will.

For those on the fence about joining the autocross, you just simply don't know what you're missing. Think of it as a good practice to the following track day. Tire wear isn't as bad as you think, if you struggle finding the fast way thru the cones there are plenty of us that would be more than happy to ride with you to help you out.

Sure you get less time on "track" but that time you get is spent at the limit the entire time! I can't think of a better way to learn car control.
