WHAT IS AN AUTOCROSS?
An autocross is a performance driving event where you can drive your car on a closed temporary course. A typical
autocross course is marked out with orange traffic pylons and is driven at lower speeds. Drivers are timed while on
course and hitting a pylon adds a 1 second penalty. Typically the course is layed out to test a driver's skill and the
cars handling and agility. GGLC events are low-key, fun and encourage drivers to enjoy and learn about their cars.
GGLC AUTOCROSS FORMAT
GGLC Autocross events will be will have a limited number of drivers to allow drivers to get a large number
of runs. Drivers are broken into groups and the groups rotate between running and working. All drivers are
required to work.
Drivers are asked to arrive early to help set-up and to attend a driver's meeting before the first run group.

Assistance- putting on a autocross, is very much a volunteer effort. There are a couple of areas, that we require a pool of helpers to cover. Two or three to get the
equipment set up. Four or five to help set up the course. You will need to be on site 7:15- 7:30, to get started.
Thanks and see you at the autocross,
Larry and Alex
