THSCC RallyCross Wilson Points Event #6 & #7
Wilson County FairgroundsAbout this event
Please join Tarheel Sports Car Club at one of our favorite sites, the Wilson County Fairgrounds, for our another RallyCross weekend of 2024. Come out and get those season points! Each day (Saturday and Sunday) is considered a separate event for season points.
The smooth Wilson County Fairgrounds site is easy on cars, and the course features some of the fastest speeds and widest sweeping turns our program offers. This is one of our longest-used and most popular sites, dating back to the earliest days of the THSCC RallyCross program! Expects more attendance than any other location! This site is relatively flat and the courses here are great for daily drivers and novices. We frequently break for lunch for a run to historic Parker's BBQ.
This site has permanent bathroom facilities. Camping can be arranged, but please speak to the RallyCross Vice Presidents several days in advance for site specific requirements.

Event requirements
Your car should be technically inspected BEFORE the drivers meeting. To pass tech, you must:
- Clean out any loose items in the car, this includes cell phones cables, garage door openers, loose change and such.
- The battery has to be properly secured.
- If your floor mats are not physically attached to carpet, they will have to be removed. We don’t want the floor mat to bunch up under the brake or gas pedals.
- Have a SNELL approved helmet, 2010 or newer (M-rated or SA-rated). We do not accept DOT-only approved helmets.
It is your responsibility to:
- Check basic fluids such as oil, coolant, and brake.
- Make sure you torque the lug nuts to manufacturer's recommended tightness.
- Make sure you have no active leaks on the motor, transmission or diff. Oil on the track is a bad thing.
- Check tire pressure. If you don’t know what to set it to, ask ASAP.
- Your tires MUST be serviceable, meaning they have appropriate tread, no chords showing, etc.
Trucks and SUV's are not permitted at THSCC events! This is due to their higher center of gravity, rollover risk, and heavier weight rutting up the course for their fellow competitors. If you have a vehicle that you have modified in such a way as you feel it should be exempt from this rule, please email the registrar for permission to run. Exceptions may be made on a car-by-car and site-by-site basis.
Convertible cars must have an approved hard top.
