The PitPerformance Driving:
|
This is a new series developed for those die hard auto-crossers! This three event series takes us to various venues around the area and tests our abilities across a wide variety of track designs. |
 |
The first event will be an autocross on Saturday May 10th at Maywood Park Race track. Those who remember last year's course will remember the vast expanse of the Maywood lot and the fun we all had. Speeds will be moderate. A new and challenging course will be laid out for your enjoyment. The second location will be at one of our favorites, the Caterpillar Plant in Pontiac, Illinois. Lot's of space to watch and lots of space to drive! Going to be fun! The third location will be at a fairly new venue for us, Rockford Speedway. This will be an amazing experience. Interested parties are encouraged to give this a try. The autocross will be laid out to cover the infield of the track but the course will also use the embankment... Wow! This was a very popular spot last year. |
These autocross courses will challenge the driving skills of all participants. Course lengths will be in the 45-55 second range. You will have between 8 and 10 runs. Each cone knocked over is a 1 second penalty. Hit a cone and it remains within the chalk lines, no penalty. Simple as that. Auto-crossing is a great way to improve your car handling skills. It's fun to drive, and fun to watch! Training in autocross will also be available for novices at all tracks. Spectators are always welcome! |

| The TRIPLE CROWN is a competition comprised of three different events spread over the entire driving season. Drivers earn points at each event. After the final event, total points from all the events are tallied. The driver with the most points earned in his or her class will be class champion. The driver earning the most points OVERALL will be deemed the new TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPION. |
 |
The Triple Crown Challenge is a combination of 3 very well known road courses. The first will be Gingerman Raceway. This is a moderate speed road course designed for the nimble road course driver. Tricky transitions and fun straight-aways make this great venue to learn all typical road course skills! The second event will be held at Putnam Park. Those who have driven here understand it's a sought after venue. Putnam is a challenging course. It's also very rhythmic and enjoyable to drive. The last event will be held at Autobahn Country Club. We will have the whole track at our disposal. One of the largest tracks in the area! This is a world class track catering to the elite. As always, driver training is available to all novices. There will be plenty of track time for all. Drivers will be arranged in run groups based on skill and car capability. Highly recommended for anyone owning a Viper, it teaches you proper car control and gives you a safe venue to hit the gas! |
