About this event
Thank you for choosing to autocross with us!
BMWCCA requires that all NCC Autocross participants (for both events and schools) to be registered BMWCCA members.
We realize that not all of our past event attendees are members. To help offset the cost of membership new BMWCCA memberships are entitled to one free NCC Autocross points event!
BMWCCA membership is $48 which is a great deal. BMWCCA members enjoy a multitude of benefits such as discounts on hotel rates and towing services. Plus if you’re a BMW or MINI owner you get the extra benefit of dealer discounts at most MINI/BMW dealers and several local shops in the area.

The NCC Autocross program uses a BMW-centric customized classing structure which pits your BMW or MINI against similar performance models in 3 levels of trim: Showroom, Tuner, and Modified. There is also a simple classing structure for non-BMW competitors. You can check out the full details at www.nccautocross.com.
Our program is beginner friendly, offering in-car instruction, guided course walks, and a dedicated group of organizers who are happy to answer any questions you might have or show you the ropes. Also, there are free loaner helmets available for use, so if you don't have your own helmet there is no need to go out and buy or rent one just to get a few fun runs in!
Our events promote a great social gathering of all ages and all cars. So whether you're a longtime BMW CCA veteran or never been to an autocross before, come check it all out online at our website: www.nccautocross.com

Event requirements
PLEASE READ!! For the 2013 NCC Autocross season we have made several changes to our vehicle classing.
The full release of our rules can be seen at: NCC Autocross Vehicle Classing Rules
BMW Classing
No changes to the BMW classing structure. The seven BMW classes S1, S2, S3, T1, T2, T3, & M remain.
NEW!!! MINI Classing
This season will see the debut of the MINI Class. We hope this will encourage friendly competition between our loyal MINI drivers.
All MINI’s will be combined into a single class. Participants will need to register by choosing the MINI class then choosing a secondary BMW class (S2, S3, T2, T3, and M). Please see the Vehicle Classing Rules to determine the correct performance class.
NEW!!! PAX Class/Non-BMW Classing
In response to requests for more competition we have created the PAX Class. This is a significant change from what we have done in the past and will require some getting used to. We have made every effort to make registration as user friendly as possible.
All Non-BMW classes will be combined into a single PAX class. The PAX will be calculated using standard SCCA classes. The PAX class will also be open to BMW drivers who want to participate as well. Participants will need to register by choosing the PAX class then choosing a sub SCCA class. We have created a simple guide to SCCA car classifications here: What Class Am I In?
