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 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!

So whether you're a longtime BMWCCA veteran or never been to an autocross before, come check it all out online at our website: www.nccautocross.com

Please contact us at info@nccautocross.com with any questions you might have. We'll be happy to answer your questions. And check out our message board message board at nccautocross.com to discuss the event with other attendees!

See you on the 18th and thank you for autocrossing with us!!

Do you guys have ponchos for course workers? Or should we bring an umbrella?

Everyone should bring their own. We do not provide rain gear.

Phil, I believe I should be in T3; not T2... According to the autocross classing my car is a 3 series otherwise not classed... I don't think I should be classed with the E46 and E90 M3's... Just my two and a half cents worth!

I'll take care of it. But I need you to note the result correction here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1VYO...omhRc/viewform. All result corrections go through this process.
Thanks!!

Results sheet question: Do people generally throw/goof/swap cars in their afternoon runs? It seems like there are a bunch of folks in the classings at the top who have faster times there than the times listed for them in the non-comp section. Just trying to figure out how poorly I really did only driving the morning session.

Pictures are up. If you do not see your car and would like some pictures just let me know. I tried to get a couple of pictures of everyone running. If it's not up there I either missed it when going through them or Facebook didn't upload it.

It rained before the afternoon session started so the times were slower.
