About this event
Discover the excitement of autocross with the North Hills Sports Car Club! Our events offer a controlled, fun, and competitive environment where drivers of all skill levels can test their precision and car control skills on a timed course. Whether you're a seasoned racer or new to motorsports, autocross is the perfect way to improve your driving skills and experience the thrill of pushing your car to its handling limits.
You don't need a dedicated sports car or extensive modifications to participate in an autocross, either. Most daily-driven cars are fine, though we exclude trucks, SUVs, and minivans for safety reasons. As a general rule, if your car is wider than it is tall, it should be fine. If you have modified your car, don't worry; we have different classes for each level of modification as well. Check www.scca.com for complete rules and vehicle eligibility requirements.

Event requirements
Allegheny County requires that all cars running at North Park be licensed, bear current registration stickers, and be street legal for the jurisdiction in which the vehicle is registered (PA cars require current inspection stickers). DOT registered tires are also required. (No slicks)
All North Hills Sport Car Club autocross participants are required to wear a SNELL rated helmet while on course. We accept the current as well as the previous 3 generations of Snell ratings. (2015, 2010, 2005). DOT helmets are not permitted, this means most motorcycle helmets are not acceptable. The club has loaner helmets available in sizes XL, L, M, and S.
Drivers must sign all waiver forms and be aware that they are liable for any damage that he/she negligently causes to the person(s) or property of other entrants, course workers, spectators, or to their own vehicle. Anyone refusing to pay for such damage will be barred from further competition.
Minor drivers (defined as anyone under the age of eighteen (18) years) must be the child or in the legal custody of a current active or life member of The North Hills Sports Car Club who is of legal age. Parents or legal guardians of said minor must sign the Minor Waiver Forms in the presence of a Club officer, agreeing to assume the liability detailed in the paragraph above.
We require visible car and class numbers at all of our events. Each competitor shall have numbers and class markings on their vehicle at least 8" tall. The numbers and car color should contrast. If you are a novice and do not know what class or number you are running, we will ask you to use a neon paint stick to write numbers on your window or use paper, a large marker, and tape to the inside of the side windows.
If you are a novice and do not know what class or number you should be in, pick a class here that you think your car is eligible to compete in. When you arrive at the event, notify Registration (found at the Club's trailer) that you need help determining your class. We are always willing to help. If you choose a class that is not correct, the North Hills Sports Car Club reserves the right to re-class your vehicle based on the SCCA Classification Rules.
Every vehicle entering an event must be presented for a Technical Inspection before each event. Tech Inspectors can reclassify any vehicle due to obvious illegal modifications. The entrant must report such reclassification to Registration immediately. Technical Inspection shall close at 10:00 A.M. Any car not appearing for technical inspection by that time shall forfeit their first run.
