About this event
This is Event #4 of 2025 for GCAC. Registration closes at Midnight on April 10th. Gates open at 8:00 am, but this is so the cars don't queue in the street, but the gate attendant will not release you onto the site until 8:30 am. Your credit card is not charged until Friday morning the day before the event. You have all the time in the world to cancel if you need to, but once the cards are charged, there are no refunds.
As a general rule, SUVs are NOT permitted to autocross. We follow SCCA rules, but it appears that "some" SUVs are now being permitted, mainly electric ones because their center of gravity is so low, thus minimizing any rollover chance. To make it easy for EVERYONE, the SCCA has produced a new classifying tool. If your car appears on this tool, you can race. It will suggest which classes your car can run in in varying levels of modification. Two examples that are now permitted are the Tesla Model Y and the Ford Mustang Mach E GT. https://www.scca-classifier.com/a/index.html
The GPS address where the gate to enter the airstrip is: 2001 Park Road, Lehigh Acres, FL 33971
Novice school may be offered this month, but will be instructor headcount dependent. Express your interest in the school to the gate attendant. Seating is limited by instructor count.

For Saturday, we run with a coin token system for runs. You receive 3 with your registration, and receive 2 more for each 20 minute work session. Coins to not expire and many people choose to hoard them for future events. Participants can easily see a minimum of 7 runs with two work sessions. Track is hot from 10:00 am until between 2-3 pm depending on the number of people willing to work.
For Sunday, we run by run/work groups. Groups are randomly assigned after the attendee list is confirmed once everyone checks in. We typically have between 3 and 4 groups depending on headcount. The number of runs on Sunday is dictated by the number of entrants. Our MAXIMUM number of runs for the full day is 500, thus, if we have 100 entries, we'll do 5 runs. We won't do less than 4 runs, and 6 is the max. For those new to our site, please consider that our tracks are 1-mile long and typically range from 60-75 seconds, so much longer than your typical autocross. Plenty of seat time!
